results. The opportunity for academic qualification (PhD) and
independent research will be provided.

We offer:
- the possibility to contribute to an innovative interdisciplinary
field of research
- a stimulating and international collaborative environment
- trainings provided by the Goethe Research Academy for Early Career
Researchers (GRADE)
- funds for conference participations and individual career
development

Requirements:
Applicants should hold a very good MA in linguistics, German studies
or psychology, with the degree completed by the start of the contract
the latest. They should demonstrate interest and high motivation for
empirical language acquisition research. Very good language skills in
German and English are required. Proficiency with common software
(e.g., LaTeX, Microsoft Office) is expected. Knowledge of data
collection using psycholinguistic methods and software as well as of
quantitative data analysis (e.g. R) is an advantage.

Please submit your application with the usual documents (cover letter,
