Subject: position at MPI, Nijmegen From: =?iso-8859-1?q?Holger=20Mitterer?= <holgermitterer(at)YAHOO.CO.UK> Date: Mon, 16 Aug 2004 09:23:44 +0100--0-1205496405-1092644624=:82217 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit __________________________________________________________ The Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics is offering a postdoctoral staff position in the field of language comprehension. It is a research position and involves no teaching responsibilities; furthermore, considerable technical support is available. The position will be available from the beginning of 2005 and has a term of appointment of 3 to 5 years, depending on experience. Research at the institute in the area of language comprehension currently focusses on spoken-word recognition and the role of phonological structure in comprehension. The research includes strong components of cross-linguistic comparison and computational modelling. Current members of the group have primary research interests in infants' development of language and word perception, and in adult processing of spoken language in native and non-native languages. Current research focusses on phonetic perception, the processing of suprasegmental structure, the recognition of word forms and the segmentation of continuous speech. The group currently includes five scientists and seven students working towards a PhD degree. The position on offer has previously been held by Natasha Warner (1998-2001) and Taehong Cho (from 2001), both of whom are phonologists with an experimental, i.e. "laboratory phonology" research approach. It is this kind of phonological expertise, combined with a willingness to collaborate experimentally in projects on the perception of spoken language, which we are seeking for this position. Young scientists with a completed Ph.D. in a relevant field are encouraged to apply. An important criterion is a demonstrated ability to publish research findings. Applications should include a c.v. and the names of two referees who would be willing to write letters of recommendation; examples of published work and a cover letter describing research interests would also be helpful.
