Subject: Psycholinguistics: PhD, Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics, Netherlands

 Institution/Organization: Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics 
Department: International Max Planck Research School 
Web Address: https://www.mpg.de/en/imprs 

Level: PhD 

Duties: Research
 
Specialty Areas: Psycholinguistics 
 

Description:

The IMPRS for Language Sciences invites applications for TWO fellowships that
are fully funded by the Max Planck Society for the Advancement of Science. The
goal of the scheme is to enable young researchers to pursue interdisciplinary
research projects in the language sciences, supervised by leading scientists
at the Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics and its partner institutes
at the Radboud University -- the Centre for Language Studies and the Donders
Institute for Brain, Cognition and Behaviour. With a diverse selection of
potential supervisors to choose from, the applicant is invited to explore the
range of research possibilities on offer.

The fellowships are suitable for applicants from a variety of backgrounds
including:
- artificial intelligence
- biology
- (cognitive) neuroscience
- cognitive science
- computer science
- genetics
- linguistics
- mathematics
- neurobiology
- physics
- psychology

Conditions of employment:
The PhD position is fully funded for 4 years with an annual gross salary of
approx. €33,770 (inclusive of an annual holiday allowance). You will be
entitled to 30 holiday days per year (on the basis of full-time employment),
as well as Dutch and German institute holidays. A personal pension scheme is
included, to which both employer and employee pay a monthly contribution.

You will have access to state-of-the art research and training facilities and
a generous conference and travel budget. Your educational training programme
will be provided by the International Max Planck Research School for Language
Sciences, and will involve both core and individually chosen coursework to
complement the PhD research, and training in soft skills such as writing and
presentation. Radboud University, our partner university, will issue the
doctoral degree through the faculty at which the promoting professor in the
supervisory committee is appointed. 

Requirements:

Essential:
- A high-quality (Research) Master’s degree or equivalent* in a relevant field
of the intended project, such as artificial intelligence, biology, (cognitive)
neuroscience, cognitive science, computer science, genetics, linguistics,
mathematics, neurobiology, neuroimaging, physics, and psychology.
* see FAQ section #11 on the application link below for more information. 
- A demonstrable interest in conducting interdisciplinary research on
language.
- Experience in carrying out empirical research (e.g., experimental design,
recruitment, participant testing, quantitative data analysis, report writing).
- Expertise using statistical packages and/or programming languages to analyse
data and/or model behaviour.
- A demonstrable ability to present research ideas clearly to people from a
range of disciplinary backgrounds.
- Excellent written and spoken English. The language of the Institute is
English, so knowledge of Dutch is not required.

Desirable: 
- Some experience giving research talks or poster presentations and preparing
manuscripts for publication would be an advantage.
- Some experience and/or a serious interest in interdisciplinary research on
language is an advantage.
- Depending on the intended project, native (or near-native) knowledge of the
language(s) of study is desirable.
