 Post-doctoral position in Geneva, Switzerland

 Applications are invited for a post-doctoral position to
work on a Swiss Fonds National de la Recherche Scientifique
(FNRS) grant within the psycholinguistics laboratory of the
Faculty of Psychology and Education (FPSE) at the University of
Geneva. The successful candidate is expected to conduct research
in the area of experimental and computational psycholinguistics
on a project studying spoken word recognition. The main topics
being addressed concern: the input representation(s) and units of
speech processing, the mapping process between input and lexical
representations, and the segmentation processes and the role
played by prosodic information. A strong background in experimen-
tation and a good knowledge of computational modelling and/or
phonological theory are highly desirable. Native or near native
fluency in French is required.

 The 2 1/2 year position starts on October 1, 1994 and
continues through March 31, 1997. Remuneration will be approxi-
mately 55,000 Fr./year (excluding taxes and social insurance).
Interested candidates should send a letter of application stating
past experience and current psycholinguistics interests, a curri-
culum vitae, a copy of the highest degree (doctorate), and the
names/(email) addresses of two references. In order to obtain a
Swiss working permit, the successful candidates must enroll at
the university as a student. Since the closing date for receipt
of applications is June 15, candidates are encouraged to send
their applications either by e-mail or FAX.
