Level: PhD 

Duties: Research
 
Specialty Areas: Language Acquisition 
 

Description:

Applications are invited for a PhD studentship position on children’s early
language development to start in autumn 2017.

This position provides the opportunity for studying at the new Language
Development Department at the Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics,
which is dedicated to research on how children acquire their first language. 

Position: Environmental influences on early lexical development
The goal of this project is to identify which aspects of infants' daily
experience and environment crucially impact infants' early word learning;
those factors include (but are not limited to) screen use, family structure
(such as the presence of older siblings), and daycare arrangements. Further,
infants' non-linguistic abilities (most prominently processing speed) will be
related to their linguistic development and possible susceptibility/resilience
to environmental differences.

This project will entail experimental studies of infants' lexical knowledge
(including eye-tracking) as well as automated recordings and
questionnaire-based assessments of both infants' development and their
environment. Candidates should have, or be willing to develop, knowledge of
these methods.
 

Application Deadline: 16-Jun-2017
