9 PhD Positions in Linguistics: International Doctorate for Experimental Approaches to Language And Brain (IDEALAB)
The Erasmus Mundus PhD Program ´International Doctorate for Experimental Approaches to Language And Brain´ (IDEALAB) offers an outstanding interdisciplinary 3-year doctoral training to its candidates to study structure, processing and foundations of human language integrating interdisciplinary approaches.
For this purpose, four European universities and one non-European university provide an intellectual environment for original and independent research on experimental and clinical aspects of language and the brain. A joint curriculum and a common research training program cumulate in a joint degree.
Associated members from Research & Development industries contribute in various ways to the program and stimulate an innovative environment. They are potential co-supervisors and are involved in training. Finally, there are seven clinics associated to the consortium, amongst others the non-European rehabilitation center in Moscow which is the world’s largest centre for language disorders in the world. The associated clinics provide internships to study unimpaired as well as impaired language of children and adults.
In addition, the students also receive extensive expert information outside their chosen topics, broadening their horizons towards potential interdisciplinary approaches. When they graduate from this research school after three years, the students will have obtained sufficient knowledge, skills, and innovative spirit to start a successful career in neuroscience research and beyond.
The program is jointly offered by a transnational consortium with an integrated study program along with required mobility between the participating institutions. The mobility plan of each individual young researcher is tailored according to the particular specialities required by the thesis topic.
The programme starts on 01.10.2012 for a duration of 36 months
