Description:

In the interdisciplinary Research Training Group (RTG) 1808 “Ambiguity –
Production and Perception” Eberhard Karls Universität Tübingen offers one
Post-Doc Research Position (TV-L E13): temporary employment for up to six
years at the earliest possible date, with the aim of completing
the habilitation during this time. The researcher will be employed through the
central administration
of the University of Tübingen and will be a member of the RTG 1808. Members of
the research
training group are required to take their residence in Tübingen.

The candidate should have in-depth experience in cognitive science or a
closely related discipline,
(e.g. (computational) linguistics or other). S/he is to model the encoding
principles and cognitive
processes involved in generating or perceiving ambiguous information content.
During its first
funding period (2013-2018), the RTG 1808 has identified a great variety of
interdisciplinary
ambiguity phenomena and developed a large database of examples (Tübingen
Interdisciplinary
Ambiguity Phenomena – TInCAP). In the second funding period (2018-2022), the
objective is to
develop an additional perspective on the cognitive processes that are
underlying the perception and
production of ambiguities.

The candidate should have experience in computer programming. Knowledge in
statistics, principles
of information processing, data analysis and language analysis will be useful.
The candidate will be
required to develop a research profile of his or her own in collaboration with
Prof. Dr. Martin Butz
(Cognitive Modeling).

Participating Disciplines of the RTG:

English Literary Studies, English Linguistics, German Literary Studies, German
Linguistics
(including Psycholinguistics), Legal Studies, Classical Philology, Cognitive
Science (and Cognitive
Modeling in particular), Philosophy, Psychology, General Rhetoric, Romance
Linguistics, Protestant
Theology (New Testament).
