Description:
The Laboratoire de Sciences Cognitives et Psycholinguistique at the Ecole Normale Supérieure in Paris invites applications for a postdoctoral fellowship to work with Sharon Peperkamp in the field of phonological processing and/or acquisition.
We are looking for a young researcher with a background in psycholinguistics, neurolinguistics, experimental linguistics, and/or cognitive psychology. The successful candidate is expected to carry out his or her own research project on a topic within the above-mentioned domain(s). He or she should be able to work independently in a dynamic, interactive environment. Preference will be given to projects involving research with infants and/or toddlers; candidates with an original project on phonological processing in adults are encouraged to apply too.
A completed PhD is a prerequisite. Excellent programming and academic writing skills are essential. For projects involving infant and/or toddler studies, knowledge of conversational French is required; for other projects, knowledge of French is a plus.
The appointment is for one year, potentially renewable for another year. Salary will be set according to the French pay scale for postdoctoral researchers.
Applications should include:
(i) a CV;
(ii) a cover letter describing research interests;
(iii) examples of published journal articles;
(iv) the names and contact details of two referees
Application materials should be sent electronically (pdf-format only) to the application email below. For fullest consideration, all materials should be received by February 23rd, 2015; however, we will consider applications until the position is filled. The successful candidate is expected to start between May 1st and October 1st 2015.
The Laboratoire de Sciences Cognitives et Psycholinguistique is part of the Département d’Etudes Cognitives at the Ecole Normale Supérieure, which offers a vibrant research environment in central Paris. For more information, visit
