The project will explore how infants use different acoustic markings of prominence (duration, pitch, amplitude) to group elements together, which might provide a mechanism to specify the word order implemented in the native language. The project will rely on both behavioural methods (headturn preference procedure) and near infra-red spectroscopy (NIRS). You will have a Masters in Experimental Psychology, Linguistics, Cognitive Science, Physiology, Neuroscience or a related discipline. High proficiency in French is required (since you will need to interact with infants, their parents, and other members in the team). Experience with infants is mandatory. Previous experience in developmental research, with imaging techniques and/or in statistical analyses will be favoured. The position is available for 12 months. The successful candidate will be expected to start on January 1st, 2012. Salary in Paris will be in accordance with the French state regulated public service salary scale.
