Post-doctoral researcher at the rank of assistant with PhD or assistant professor in experimental linguistics / psycholinguistics / neurolinguistics (m/f)

We are looking for candidates interested in pursuing a rewarding research and academic career at the University of Nova Gorica. We offer a dynamic research environment supported by state-of-the-art research equipment and a pronounced international orientation.

The work will be conducted in the Center for Center for Cognitve Science of Language. The successful candidate will be tasked with developing and running eye-tracking and ERP experiments that are broadly related to the projects currently running within our center (assessment of sentence comprehension ability in adults; linguistic transfer in the pragmatic domain; real time processing of numeral-based noun phrases; the interplay between prosody, morphology and semantics in the verbal domain; agreement mismatches; word-structure processing). The candidate may be asked to take over some outreach duties and moderate teaching obligations in the university's linguistics programs.

The successful candidate will be employed on a full-time basis for a fixed term of one year (pending sufficient funding, there may be a possibility to renew for a second year). The expected start date is September 1, 2021.

If the candidate holds a valid title of assistant professor and they submit evidence of this, employment at the rank of assistant professor will be considered.

To be considered for the position, candidates should have: * a PhD in experimental linguistics, psycholinguistics or neurolinguistics, * ability to work independently, as well as to work in a team taking on an active role in organizing and conducting linguistic experiments, in particular eye-tracking and ERP experiments, and in recruiting child and adult participants, * experience in using EEG/ERP and eye-tracking, * a strong background in theoretically-grounded experimental linguistics, neurolinguistics, psycholinguistics or cognitive science, * a fluent command of English.

Advantages: * proven research experience or an active research agenda that concerns the relevant linguistics domains, * a strong publication record, * knowledge of up-to-date statistical methods of data analysis.

The following documents must be submitted: * certificate of education, * a CV detailing previous research experience and reflecting the fulfilment of the above stated application requirements and, if applicable, advantages, * a short research statement, * list of publications, * a copy of a representative publication, * two letters of reference (submitted directly by the referees).
