University or Organization: Université Côte d'Azur (IDEX JEDI) 
Job Location: Nice, France 
Web Address: http://mshs.unice.fr/?page_id=7880
Job Title: Post-doc in EEG-based language processing
Job Rank: Post Doc

Specialty Areas: Cognitive Science; General Linguistics; Phonology; Psycholinguistics 


Description:

Applications are invited for a post-doctoral research fellow in the area of
EEG-based language processing at the University Côte d'Azur (UCA). The
position is open for two years and renewable for one or two more years. The
candidate will work in the project From Mind to Brain
(http://mshs.unice.fr/?page_id=7880) which is funded by IDEX UCA JEDI
(http://univ-cotedazur.fr/english/idex-uca-jedi) and whose purpose is to
determine whether given alternations in sound structure (such as k-s in
electri[k] - electri[s]ity) involve phonological computation or not. The basic
properties of the experimental protocol are set (production EEG with silent
pronunciation, i.e. without vocal activity, MR-based source localization of
the EEG signal) but more fine grained properties may evolve. The candidate is
expected to conduct data acquisition, processing and interpretation (EEG and
MR, source localization), as well as to participate in scholarly writing. S/he
will also have the opportunity to carry out independent, autonomously designed
work. 

Applicants should hold a PhD in a relevant field (linguistics, psychology,
speech science or other disciplines related to the cognitive neuroscience of
language). They should have extensive experience with EEG including
statistical analysis, experimental control software (e.g. E-Prime, Psychopy)
and statistical software (e.g. R, Matlab). Proven skills in scholarly writing
will be an advantage, as will be a background in linguistic and especially
phonological theory. Finally, the candidate is expected to have good social
skills and the ability to work in a team. 

The working language in the project is English or French, and the position
does not involve any teaching. Like all other team members, the candidate will
be supported for conference traveling and other expenses related to his/her
team-based or personal work. Wages are about 3050 Euros per month (after
social contributions, before taxes). The project is located on the city campus
Saint-Jean d'Angély (http://bcl.cnrs.fr/rubrique17) close to Old Nice, and the
work environment is the BCL lab (http://bcl.cnrs.fr/), hosting linguists and
psychologists.

The position is tenable as soon as possible. Applicants should send the
following to the email address for applications below: an application letter,
a curriculum vitae and a list of publications. These documents should be
received by March 1st, 2017.
