Description:
PhD scholarship in the field of spoken-language comprehension
The Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics in Nijmegen offers a 3-year
scholarship for research leading towards a PhD in the field of spoken-language
comprehension.

The successful candidate will develop a dissertation project within the ongoing
research themes of the Adaptive Listening Group. The Adaptive Listening Group is
a newly established independent research group under the direction of Dr. Andrea
Weber and investigates the processing of foreign-accented speech. The
institute's website provides more information about the group. With respect to
the research project, a topic concerning the processing of variation in speech
or experiential influences on perception is currently of most interest to the
group, but other topics that fall in the scope of the group are possible as
well. The research will concern language perception by adults, but may involve a
variety of methodological approaches, including cross-linguistic comparisons,
the use of eyetracking and neuroimaging techniques, or computational modeling.
Candidates with a background in experimental psycholinguistics or experimental
phonetics may receive preference. Good command of English is required.

Application letters including a short statement of interest, including a full CV
and the names of two academic referees, should arrive at the secretariat by 1
February 2009.
