About MPI

 

The Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics is an institute of the German Max Planck Society. Our mission is to undertake basic research into the psychological,social and biological foundations of language. The goal is to understand how our minds and brains process language, how language interacts with other aspects of mind, and how we can learn languages of quite different types.

The institute is situated on the campus of the Radboud University. We participate in the Donders Institute for Brain, Cognition and Behaviour, and have particularly close ties to that institute's Centre for Cognitive Neuroimaging. We also participate in the Centre for Language Studies. A joint graduate school, the IMPRS in Language Sciences, links the Donders Institute, the CLS and the MPI.

3 PhD positions

— expired

The Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics offers three 3-year positions for research leading towards a PhD in the field of psycholinguistics.

The successful candidates will join the newly formed research group Individual Differences in Language Processing. (http://www.mpi.nl/institute/research-groups/indiv-diff-group).

One of the projects should concern individual differences in message generation and sentence planning. The other projects might concern novel word learning and attention allocation in dialogue. The group uses a variety of approaches, including questionnaires, experimentation (eye tracking, EEG, use of a virtual reality lab) and computational modeling. The participants in the studies are teenagers and young adults.

Candidates must have a solid background in cognitive psychology (preferably psycholinguistics, memory or attention) and statistics. For one of the projects, candidates with a strong computational background may be given preference. All candidates should have native or near-native competence in Dutch or German.

Applications should include a full CV, a statement of research interests, and the names of two academic referees.
