The “Language Acquisition” Junior Research Group at Georg-Elias-Müller Institut für Psychologie is interested in examining the mechanisms underlying the ease of infants’ language acquisition and language processing. Researchers working within the group have varied interests including topics such as word segmentation and word learning in young children, differences between first and second language acquisition, the interaction between visual and social cues in language processing, the interface between orthographical and phonological processing.
Candidates for the post-doctoral position should hold a doctorate in Psychology, Linguistics, Cognitive Science or related fields. Candidates for the doctoral position should hold an excellent Master qualification in Psychology, Cognitive Science or related fields. The candidate is expected to develop their own project in the context of the group’s research foci.
Other requirements include excellent communication skills, an interest in experimental psycholinguistic research and a commitment to interdisciplinary research. Candidates with previous experience in experimental studies with young
children are especially encouraged to apply. The working language of the group is English and applicants from outside Germany are encouraged to apply.
Both positions are initially available for 12 months starting 1st October 2012 and can be extended for up to 3 years following successful evaluation of the group and the person.
The University of Göttingen is an equal opportunities employer and places particular emphasis on fostering career opportunities for women. Qualified women are therefore strongly encouraged to apply as they are underrepresented in this field. Disabled persons with equivalent aptitude will be favoured.
