Description:

Applications for this postdoc position are welcome from excellent
candidates in the areas of psycholinguistics, cognitive linguistics,
or cognate fields (e.g. cognitive/experimental psychology). You will
readily fit in an existing programme of research looking at the
effects of language-specific categories on cognitive representation
and processing. The main project will focus on comprehension of
spatiotemporal metaphors and time perception, developing further the
research published in these papers:

•       The Whorfian time warp: Representing duration through the
language hourglass
•       Cognitive restructuring: Psychophysical measurement of time
perception in bilinguals

This is an on-site position, and it is a requirement that you
participate in the daily work in Lund.

You are expected to:

•       design, develop and program laboratory experiments in language
and cognition.
•       coordinate data collection in a timely manner.
•       process, prepare, and statistically analyse data.
•       draft reports on results.
•       conduct literature surveys as required.
•       contribute to publications both as lead author and as
co-author.
•       contribute to the project's seminars, meetings, workshops and
other activities.
•       establish and maintain training and contact with Lund
University Humanities Lab.
•       contribute to and develop the research environment in the area
of language and cognition at the Centre for Language and Literature at
Lund University.
•       assist in the write-up of a joint application for further
funding.

Qualification requirements:
•       Documented capacity to independently design, develop, and
execute psycholinguistic experiments.
•       Documented experience of research in the field of
psycholinguistics (or related area).
•       Good cooperative skills and a strong collaborative approach to
research.
•       Full proficiency in English.

Desirable qualifications (in order of importance)

•       Experience with experiment generating software (e.g.
PsychoPy), and statistical models (e.g. linear mixed-effects) and
packages (e.g. R).
•       Documented ability to develop and carry out research of high
international quality in relevant research fields, and to obtain
external research funding, commensurate to career stage.
•       Proven track record of dissemination in relevant contexts
(e.g. international high-quality journals, major conference
presentations, invited talks, etc.).
•       Good working knowledge of Swedish.

How to apply

Your application should be written in English and must contain the
following:

•       A CV and copy of the Ph.D. degree.
•       A list of publications (including DOI, ISBN or ISSN numbers).
•       A signed cover letter of no more than 1500 words making the
case for how you fulfil the qualification requirements and (where
applicable) the desirable qualifications of the post.
•       Two publications, one of which can be the PhD thesis and the
other a peer reviewed paper in an international journal.
