Description:

Announcement: Postdoc in language acquisition, Paris, France 

Dr. Judit Gervain and Thierry Nazzi (CNRS – Université Paris Descartes) have
been awarded a research grant from the LABEX Empirical Foundations of
Linguistics, to run an 18 months research program on “Processing of consonants
and vowels in early development.” The project will be exploring the relative
processing weight given to the two kinds of phonemes in newborn and young
infants’ speech processing, using Near InfraRed Spectroscopy (NIRS).

This grant has created the opportunity to appoint one LABEX Postdoctoral
Fellow in the Laboratoire Psychologie de la Perception, CNRS/Université Paris
Descartes, working under the joint supervision of Dr. Judit Gervain and
Thierry Nazzi. The fellow will be working alongside leading academics in the
Speech Team of the Laboratoire Psychologie de la Perception (CNRS-Université
Paris Descartes; http://lpp.parisdescartes.cnrs.fr/research/speech-group/).
While the initial experiments to be conducted are specified in the grant, the
postdoc will be expected to realize its implementation, and then contribute
new ideas and experiments to the research project.

Applicants will have a PhD in Experimental Psychology, Linguistics, Cognitive
Science, Physiology, Neuroscience or a related discipline. Ideally, they will
have a background in one of the specialist cognitive neuroscience areas such
as language, developmental psychology, experimental psychology,
electrophysiology. A strong background in experimental methods and statistical
analyses is required, and you should be willing to learn NIRS. Previous work
with infants will be a plus. The working languages of the Paris unit are
French and English; the language for testing will be mainly French.

The successful candidate will be expected to start in the fall 2017 (targeted
date September 1st, and no later than January 1st 2018). The position is for
18 months. Salary will be in accordance with the French state regulated public
service salary scale.

Applications should include:
- a CV
- a motivation letter describing previous work and research interests
- examples of publications (published or in progress)
- the names and contact details of 2 referees

Application materials should be sent electronically (pdf-format only) to  the
email addresses for application below. Please email your application by May
1st, 2017. The position will remain open until filled.
