Subject: Language Acquisition; Multilingualism: PhD, University of Konstanz, Germany

 Institution/Organization: University of Konstanz 
Department: Linguistics Department 
Web Address: https://www.ling.uni-konstanz.de/en/ 

Level: PhD 

Duties: Research
 
Specialty Areas: Language Acquisition 
Multilingualism 

Description:

The Department of Linguistics invites applicants for two PhD studentships
within the field of Multilingualism who will work with Prof Theo Marinis to
conduct research on multilingual child language development.
Two PhD positions (Salary Scale 13 TV-L / 50 %)

The positions are available as of 1st December, 2018 and are limited for three
years.
The PhD students will work on a research project that will map how primary
school children in and around Konstanz develop their language, literacy, and
cognitive abilities using a variety of off-line and on-line experimental
procedures.

We are looking for highly motivated PhD students with a MA/MSc in
Bilingualism/Multilingualism, Linguistics or related discipline to join Prof
Marinis’ research team. The successful candidates should have strong interest
in linguistics and multilingual language acquisition, should be native or near
native speakers of German and should have some experience working with primary
school children. Knowledge of Italian or Arabic would be an advantage because
of the large numbers of Italian- and Arabic-speaking families in the region.
Experience with reaction time experiments, eye-tracking or ERP experiments
would also be an advantage.

Duties:
The successful candidates will conduct research with multilingual children in
and around Konstanz, will teach on our BA/MA programmes (2 hours per week),
and will provide some administrative support on the MA Multilingualism.

The PhD students will be hosted at the Linguistics Department and will be in
close contact with the Centre for Multilingualism that conducts, disseminates,
and communicates research on multilingualism to academic and non-academic
audiences.

The Linguistics Department at the University of Konstanz combines theoretical
with experimental linguistics and provides a vibrant international
research-intensive environment. Its research infrastructure includes a
psycholinguistics lab with reaction time and eye-tracking facilities, a baby
lab, and two ERP labs. The department has a strong record of externally funded
projects, including the Research Unit ‘Questions at the Interfaces’ funded by
the DFG and the Innovative Training Network ‘The Multilingual Mind
(MultiMind)’ funded by the European Union that is being coordinated by the
Linguistics Department at the University of Konstanz (multilingualmind.eu).
The two PhD students will work closely with the two PhD students working
within the MultiMind project.
