Research Associate in the Field of Psycholinguistics and hearing research

at  Carl von Ossietzky Universitt Oldenburg

BEFRISTET

for three years
Über uns
The position is based in the cluster of excellence Hearing4all: Models, Technology and Solutions for Diagnostics, Restoration and Support of Hearing at the Carl von Ossietzky Universität Oldenburg (in collaboration with Medizinische Hochschule Hannover and Leibniz Universität Hannover).
A paramount goal of the cluster of excellence Hearing4all (www.hearing4all.de) is to transform audiology into an “exact” science based on the interplay between experiment and theory as well as between basic science and clinical research
Ihre Aufgaben
In the framework provided by the cluster the successful candidate is expected to contribute to the research goals of the cluster to research thread 1 “Auditory processing deficits throughout the lifespan”, in which one of the goals is to identify the impact of hearing loss in young and old age on cognitive and language development and its decline. Specifically, the candidate is expected to do research on the interaction of hearing abilities and language processing and/or development in naturalistic interactive situations (a short summary in your application (max 3 pages) of the candidate’s idea on this is expected as part of the application).
Ihr Profil
Candidates are expected to have a Master degree as well as a PhD in the field of (psycho)linguistics, psychology, or a related discipline (with a specialization in speech/language processing and/or language acquisition) and have shown their ability to perform excellent scientific work, usually demonstrated by the outstanding quality of their Doctorate/PhD research and a good publication record. Experience in hearing research is an advantage.
We are seeking candidates with experience in statistical analysis as well as knowledge in at least one of the following methods/areas: language acquisition, online sentence processing, reaction time studies, eye tracking, ERP. Matlab skills, and/ or experience with E-prime will be helpful, as well as working knowledge of German. Since the position entails close interdisciplinary cooperation with several other disciplines (audiology, psychology, physics), the willingness and ability to integrate methods, concepts and issues of the ’other’ discipline into theories, concepts and methods current in one’s own are required for successful work in this project.
