Description:

The Department of German Language and Literature I at the Faculty of Arts and
Humanities at the University of Cologne is looking to fill a position as
Postdoc in the Collaborative Research Centre (CRC) 1252 Prominence in
Language.

Commencement of employment is scheduled for May 1st 2019. The postdoc position

fixed-term working contract ending December 31st 2020. If the applicant meets
the relevant wage requirements and personal qualifications, the salary is
based on remuneration group 13 TV- L of the pay scale for the German public

As a basis for research sub project C04 Conceptual and referential activation
in discourse, we propose that prominence relations are among the core features
contributing to referent management - at the level of comprehension and at the
level of discourse planning. The overall goal of the project is to develop a
discourse model that can account for some key features in discourse
processing, in particular for those features that are associated with concept
activation and referent activation.

Your tasks:
- Preparing, conducting and evaluating eye-tracking and ERP experiments as
well as collaborating on fill-in-the-gap experiments (annotation and
statistical analysis of story continuation tasks)
- Assisting the principal investigator in leading the project as a whole and
networking with adjacent projects in the research area
- Presenting results to the research community at international conferences

Your profile:
- Ability to think in a team-oriented and conceptual manner and quickly
familiarize yourself with new topics
- High degree of self-reliance
- Fluency in German (written/spoken) and business proficiency in English
- Efficient, highly organized and result-oriented work process
- Doctorate completed by the time position begins

We offer you:
- A vibrant research environment 
- A diverse and fair working environment
- Support in reconciling work and family life
- Extensive advanced training opportunities
- Occupational health management offers
- Local transport ticket at a discount for UoC employees
