Description:

A Postdoctoral Researcher position using EEG/ERP in Heritage Language
Bilingualism is available in the Department of Language and Culture at the
University of Tromsø - The Arctic University of Norway. The position is
affiliated with the LAVA research group (Language Acquisition, Variation &
Attrition) and is connected to a large research project HeLPiNG
(Heritage-Bilingual Linguistic Proficiency in the Native Grammar: Charting and
Explaining Differences), funded by the Tromsø Forskningsstiftelse 2019-2023. 

This is one of several postdoctoral researcher and Professor II positions
associated with HeLPiNG. The position will start no later than January 1st
2020.

Qualification Requirements:
- A PhD in Linguistics, Cognitive Science, Neuroscience, Psychology or another
relevant field.
- High command/competence of statistical modelling—Bayesian modelling  is
desirable—, EEG/ERP analysis and research design expertise (experience with
time-frequency analytical approaches is highly desirable in addition to more
typical methods in psycholinguistic research)
- Experience with experimental methods in language acquisition is desirable.
- Excellent command of spoken and written English.

The applicants must provide a contextualizing statement/proposal (3 pages
maximum), indicating their background and experience with ERP/EEG research,
knowledge of analysis inclusive of programs (and programming) they are
familiar with, and how they see themselves fitting into HeLPiNG, especially in
relation to WP2 and its goals of (i) introducing the EEG/ERP method to
heritage language bilingualism studies and (ii) understanding how doing so
could provide deeper insights into questions about heritage bilinguals’
competences in their heritage language. Please also indicate which languages
and what domains of grammar you might wish to study and why, always in
relation to the questions and aims of WP2.

Personal suitability will be given special consideration in the evaluation
process.
 
Application Procedures:
The application must be submitted electronically via the application form
available at the application link provided below and shall include:
- Letter of application
- Contextualizing statement/proposal
- CV (containing a complete overview of education, supervised professional
training and professional work)
- Diplomas and references (a list of three to four references who can be
contacted)
- List of works and description of these
The list of works shall contain the following information:
- Author(s), the work’s title
- For articles: the journal’s name and volume, the first and last page of the
article, year of publication
- For publications: publisher, printer, year of publication, number of pages

Please contact the PI of the project, Prof. Jason Rothman, if you have any
questions and especially to get a copy of the grant to help understand the
context better.
