Description:

The University of Montreal (Canada), in collaboration with Macquarie
University (Australia), is recruiting a PhD student for a SSHRC-funded
project on the cognitive and linguistic mechanisms underlying reading
development and difficulties in bilingual children. The project
combines the Dual-Route Cascaded model of reading with Bayesian
computational modeling and cross-orthographic analyses to explore the
interplay between cognitive processes and language experience in
typical and atypical readers.
The ideal applicant will have a background in cognitive science,
speech-language pathology, psychology, linguistics, or a related
discipline. Desired qualifications include experience with
experimental design, data analysis (e.g., R or Python), and a strong
interest in bilingualism, reading development, and/or computational
modeling. Familiarity with Bayesian methods or cross-linguistic
research is a plus.
The student will be based at the CHU Sainte-Justine Research Center
(University of Montreal) and will have the opportunity to apply to the
Cotutelle/Joint PhD program with Macquarie University, enabling a
minimum one-year research stay in Sydney and the completion of a dual
PhD degree. The position includes guaranteed funding of $24,000 CAD
per year in accordance with institutional guidelines. The expected
start date is Fall 2025, with a possible alternative start in Winter
2026.

Application Deadline: 15-Jul-2025
