research areas which are covered in other research projects in the department.

psycholinguistics, communication & information sciences, social sciences or some
related area, with experience in doing experiments, and (depending on the

The PhD candidates have a (research) master degree in one of the aforementioned
areas, a strong interest in doing research, excellent writing skills and a good
