Subject: Cognitive Science: Researcher, Language in Interaction Consortium, Nijmegen, Netherlands

University or Organization: Language in Interaction Consortium 
Job Location: Nijmegen, Netherlands 
Web Address: https://www.languageininteraction.nl/
Job Title: Principal Investigator
Job Rank: Researcher

Specialty Areas: Cognitive Science 

Description:

The NWO Gravitation consortium 'Language in Interaction' invites applications
for a PI position.

We are looking for a highly motivated, creative and talented researcher who is
able to establish a PI group on 'the neural basis of language'. You and your
group will enrich a unique consortium of researchers that aims to unravel the
neurocognitive mechanisms of language at multiple levels. The goal is to
understand both the universality and the variability of the human language
faculty from genes to behaviour.

You will be given the opportunity to establish your own independent research
group, and you will have free access to the scanning facilities at Donders
Institute. You will be expected to conduct research in one or more research
areas relevant to the position applied for. Supervision of BSc, MSc and PhD
projects will be part of your responsibilities. Administrative duties will
include local and/or national and international committee memberships. You
will be provided with budgetary resources for a PhD candidate or technician,
materials and travelling. You will be eligible to apply for further funding
both internally and externally.

The Netherlands has an outstanding track record in the language sciences. The
research consortium 'Language in Interaction', sponsored by a large grant from
the Netherlands Organization for Scientific research (NWO) brings together
many of the excellent research groups in the Netherlands with a research
programme on the foundations of language. Excellence in the domain of language
and related relevant fields of cognition is combined with state-of-the-art
research facilities and a research team with ample experience in complex
research methods and utilization. This consortium achieves both quality and
critical mass for studying human language at a scale not easily found anywhere
else in the world. 

The position will be embedded in the Max Planck Institute for
Psycholinguistics and Donders Institute for Brain, Cognition and Behaviour at
Radboud University. Both institutes conduct research in an international
setting. English is the lingua franca. Your primary working environment is the
Donders Centre for Cognitive Neuroimaging.

You should have in-depth expertise in the application of advanced MEG and/or
MR techniques (network analysis, diffusion weighted imaging, cortical
thickness imaging, resting state measurement, voxel based morphometry, etc.)
to the study of the 'language networks' in the brain. You should also have a
solid neuroanatomical knowledge. 

The selection criteria include: 
- a PhD degree in any relevant field; 
- an interest in and focus on the language system; 
- relevant structural imaging expertise;
- relevant neurophysiological expertise; 
- solid neuroanatomical knowledge; 
- leadership potential and experience with successfully applying for external
funding; 
- an excellent scientific track record; 
- excellent organizational and communicative skills; 
- excellent skills in written and spoken English.

You should send your application (attn. of Prof. dr. Peter Hagoort) to Julia
Verhoef at the application email address below. Your application should
include (and be limited to) the following attachments:
- a cover letter;
- your curriculum vitae, including a list of publications and the names of at
least two people who can provide references;
- a research statement.

Application Deadline: 17-Apr-2017
