Job Title: Senior Expert in Data Analysis

absolutely essential

Required Language(s): English (eng)

Description:

The Autism, Bilingualism, Cognitive and Communicative Development
(ABCCD) group in Fribourg, Switzerland, is looking for a post-doctoral
senior expert in data analysis to join their team for 2 years
(starting as of September, if possible, position open until filled).
Preference is for 40% (corresponding to a salary of 34,000 chf per
year).

Our collaborator will have the necessary background to fully grasp our
research questions on bilingualism and the methods applied to address
them. Most studies underway in our group are concerned with
elucidating the impact of bilingualism on various aspects of
development (cognition, communication, syntax) in both typically
developing children as well as those with autism. Our new team member
will bring expertise in statistics and will be instrumental in the
discussion and support of ongoing data analyses, training/ advice in
the use of specific analysis techniques and interpretation of the
results along with the team members.  We are seeking someone to help
us decide on the most suitable statistical techniques to analyse these
very complex relations, capable of incorporating both cross-sectional
and longitudinal data to evaluate the relevance of bilingualism as a
predictor of our dependent variables, integrating both continuous and
categorical predictors at all levels of measurement (i.e., subject-
and time-varying), and handling missing data (e.g., due to some
children not completing all tasks in the protocol, dropout, etc).
Ideally, our post-doc would be thus comfortable with an array of
techniques (linear mixed effect regression with contrast codings,
Bayesian Analysis, Cluster analyses, …)."

The candidate will also have a proven track record in academic writing
in English as s/he will play an integral role in
preparing/co-authoring manuscripts for publication. Familiarity with
linguistic theory (and in particular how it applies to the acquisition
of syntax) would be a plus. This member of our team will also help to
conceptualize future projects with the PI that can be developments of
the current work, and potentially assist with grant writing related to
this.

Interested candidates should send a CV (including 2 potential
references) and letter of motivation to stephanie.durrleman at unifr.ch
(as soon as possible and preferably before August 15 2024).

N.B. Telecommuting possible, although some presence would be
preferable.
