The LINGUIST List strongly encourages employers to use non-discriminatory standards in hiring policy. In particular we urge that employers do not discriminate on the grounds of race, ethnicity, nationality, age, religion, gender, or sexual orientation. However, we have no means of enforcing these standards. Job seekers should pay special attention to language in ads regarding employment requirements and are encouraged to consult our international employment page http://linguistlist.org/jobnet.html. This page has been set up so that people can report on the employment standards of various countries.

Applications are invited from individuals wishing to undertake postdoctoral
research on Language and Brain in Nijmegen, The Netherlands, with a special
focus on computational modelling and cognitive brain research in the area
of bilingual word recognition. One aim will be to develop a functional
model of bilingual word recognition that accounts for both empirical and
brain data; a second aim is to collect brain data and empirical data to
simulate. The successful applicant will work within the NICI research
institute at the Radboud University, Nijmegen, The Netherlands
(http://www.nici.ru.nl). Applicants should be nationals of a Member State

experiments, processing and analysing data, and writing reports) under the
supervision of the grant holder, Dr. Ton Dijkstra. The ER may also be asked
to contribute to the preparation of publications, conference presentations,
and grant applications. The ER is expected to contribute to the design and
planning of a range of simulation studies and neuropsychological
language-based experiments, some of them including Event-Related
Potentials. The ER is expected to assist, in close collaboration with
experts from the F.C. Donders Institute (Nijmegen), in the analysis of the
obtained electrophysiological data. The ER is further expected to attend
meetings, workshops, and seminars held by RTN:LAB.
