Description:
As a PhD student in the field of child bilingualism you will participate in a research project on cross-linguistic influence in the developing bilingual lexicon. The project entitled “The priming mind of the bilingual child: simultaneous acquisition, simultaneous activation” is led by Dr Sharon Unsworth and is funded by a Vidi grant from the Netherlands Organization for Scientific Research (NWO). The overall goal of the Vidi project is to investigate how two languages interact in the mind of the young child. More specifically, the project investigates cross-linguistic influence at the lexical and syntactic levels, in comprehension as well as production, across three different sub-projects (this PhD project, a post-doc project and the PI’s project).
You will design and conduct psycholinguistic experiments and analyse the data. You will adapt standard paradigms used with bilingual adults for use with children. You will present the research outcomes at international conferences and write at least three articles for international high-impact journals. In addition, you will participate in the taught doctoral programme of the International Max Planck Research School for Language Sciences (IMPRS).
This is a full-time paid position. See website for full details and to apply.
