Subject: German (Standard); Cognitive Science; Computational Linguistics,Language Acquisition,Neurolinguistics,Psycholinguistics: PhD, University of Osnabrueck, Germany

 Institution/Organization: University of Osnabrueck 
Department: Cognitive Science 
Web Address: https://www.ikw.uni-osnabrueck.de/en/forschung/psycho_and_neurolinguistics.html 

Level: PhD 

Duties: Research
 
Specialty Areas: Cognitive Science; Computational Linguistics; Language Acquisition; Neurolinguistics; Psycholinguistics 
 
Required Language(s): German (deu)

Description:

The Psycho-/Neurolinguistics Research Group (Prof. Dr. Jutta Mueller) at the
Institute of Cognitive Science invites applications for 
1 Research Assistant (Ph.D. student level)
(Salary level E 13 TV-L, 65 %)
to be filled by August 1, 2019 for a period of three years. 

An excellent scientific environment allows for further scientific
qualification off the job (German doctorate degree/PhD).

The Psycho-/Neurolinguistics Research Group is interested in examining
language learning and processing across development. Researchers and students
working within the group investigate word and grammar learning, sentence
comprehension and the interface of language and memory. The methods include
behavioral methods, eye-tracking and electroencephalography (EEG).
Description of Responsibilities:

The position involves participation in the research activities within the
DFG-funded research project From associative to controlled learning of
non-adjacent dependencies – brain function and structure. The project
investigates how properties of the acoustic signal influence the learning of
complex rules in young children. It is part of the interdisciplinary research
group ”Crossing the Borders: The Interplay of Language, Cognition, and the
Brain in Early Human Development“ and is conducted in collaboration with
research groups at the University of Potsdam and the MPI for Human Cognitive
and Brain Science in Leipzig.

Responsibilities include the planning, implementation, evaluation and
publication of pediatric experiments using psycholinguistic methods
(behavioural testing, eye-tracking, EEG). The position does not involve
teaching obligations.

Required Qualifications:
Applicants are expected to have an excellent academic degree (Master/Diploma)
in cognitive science, linguistics, cognitive psychology, or related fields, a
strong interest in the neurocognition of language learning, good statistical
knowledge and both German and English language proficiency. Experience in
experimental research with infants and young children, with eye-tracking
and/or EEG-research, as well as some programming experience (e.g., Matlab)
will be advantageous, but is not mandatory. 

Osnabrück University has been certified as a family-friendly university
committed to helping working/studying parents and carers balance their family
and work life. 

The university aspires to ensure equal opportunities for men and women and
strives to work towards a gender balance in schools or departments where new
appointments are made. 

If equally qualified candidates apply, preference will be given to those with
special needs. 

Applications with the usual documentation should be submitted by e-mail in a
single PDF-file to Prof. Dr. Jutta Mueller (jutta.mueller at uni-osnabrueck.de)
with a cc to (office at ikw.uni-osnabrueck.de) no later than April 04, 2019. 

Further information can be obtained from Prof. Dr. Jutta Mueller
(jutta.mueller at uni-osnabrueck.de).
 

Application Deadline: 04-Apr-2019
