Job Title: Postdoctoral Fellowship in Early Language Development
Job Rank: Post Doc

Specialty Areas: Language Acquisition 


Description:

One fully-funded 2-year Postdoctoral Research Fellowship (SKO 1352), financed
by a FRIPRO grant from the Research Council of Norway, is available at the
Center for Multilingualism in Society across the Lifespan (MultiLing) at the
Department of Linguistics and Scandinavian Studies, University of Oslo. The
fellowship is connected to one of MultiLing’s research projects, which is
entitled "The role of parental speech on infant language development: Insights
from Norwegian language", led by Dr. Natalia Kartushina, in collaboration with
Professor Julien Mayor (Section of Health, Development and Personality
Psychology, Department of Psychology, University of Oslo) and Dr. Alejandrina
Cristia (CNRS, Laboratoire de Sciences Cognitives et Psycholinguistique, Ecole
Normale Supérieure, Paris). A brief description of the project can be found at
this link:
https://www.hf.uio.no/multiling/english/projects/flagship-projects/babylearn/i
ndex.html

MultiLing is a Center of Excellence funded by the Research Council of Norway
(2013-2023). MultiLing aims to generate scientific knowledge on
multilingualism across the lifespan, related to three themes: Theme 1
Multilingual competence, Theme 2 Multilingual practices, and Theme 3
Multilingualism, ideologies and language policies (for more information, see
http://www.hf.uio.no/multiling/).

The successful applicant will work closely with Natalia Kartushina (project
manager) and a PhD student to examine the acoustic properties of
infant-directed speech and their role in early language development of
Norwegian 6- to 18-month-old infants. In particular, the candidate will be
involved in carrying out the acoustic analyses of parental speech and
computing a number of traditional measures used to describe infant-directed
speech, complemented with the measures aimed to assess the quality and clarity
of speech sound production (e.g., sound distinctiveness, category
preciseness).

Applicants are expected to present a statement of research, summarizing their
scientific work and their research interest, and articulate how they fit into
the current project.

The position is available for a period of two years, starting
November-December 2021. The main purpose of postdoctoral research fellowships
is to qualify researchers for work in higher academic positions within their
disciplines.
