Description:
The Laboratoire Parole et Langage, in association with Aix-Marseille Université and the Brain and Language Research Institute, invites applications for two postdoctoral fellowships supported by a grant from the A*MIDEX Foundation. The funded project explores the relationship between social categories and linguistic representations, and seeks to develop and extend a cognitively explicit model that accounts for the effects of social identity on speech production and perception. The empirical basis for the project will involve a combination of experimentation (production, perception, ERP), corpus analysis, and computational modeling. The selected fellows will join an interdisciplinary team from across the Brain and Language Research Institute, which includes experts in linguistics, speech analysis, psycholinguistics, neuroscience, computational linguistics, and computer science, among other areas.
A special emphasis of the project concerns issues in prosody and intonation, so an interest in, or experience with, prosody is highly desirable. In addition, the ideal applicant will have experience in one or more of the following areas:
- Sociolinguistics (quantitative)
- Stochastic/probabilistic approaches to linguistic theory
- Psychology/psycholinguistics of memory (esp. encoding and retrieval)
- Laboratory phonology
- Experimental linguistics
Each postdoctoral appointment is for a duration of up to two years depending on the starting date, and subject to review after the first year. Applicants should hold a PhD or expect to complete a PhD by the starting date. The starting date is flexible, though the position should be filled by September 2015.
Applications should include (i) a cover letter that relates the applicants’ experience and interests to the project, (ii) a comprehensive CV, and (iii) a PDF copy of all publications or a list of links where these can be accessed.
Applications may be sent by email to Jessica Bouanane (adminstrative manager) at the application email below.
For further inquiries regarding the position or the project, please contact James Sneed German (Principal Investigator) (email below).
