The Psycholinguistics Group in the Department of Computational
Linguistics, Saarland University is seeking to fill a research
position in the area of Experimental Psycholinguistics. The group has
an active profile in human language processing research, which
includes on-line experimental studies (eye-tracking), computational
modeling, and statistical NLP.
Experimental Psycholinguist: Experience in designing, running and
analysing psycholinguistic experiments is desired. Ideal applicants
will also have familiarity with (some of) the following paradigms:
self-paced reading, eye-tracking (fixed or head-mounted), language
production, and web-based experiments. Good knowledge of German is
also strongly desired for this position, but may be waived for an
exceptional candidate.
This is primarily a research position, although some research related
teaching will also be involved (particularly for the experimental
psycholinguist). Candidates should have research experience in a
relevant subject area, and ideally hold a PhD. The positions are on
the BAT IIa scale (roughly up to Euro 40K per annum, depending on age
and family status) and are tenable for 2-3 years in the first
instance, with good possibilities for renewal. Positions are available
from early 2003. Applications received before November 1, 2002 are
assured fullest consideration. Interested persons should send a
letter of application giving contact details for two possible referees
and a full CV to the address below (e-mail applications are also
welcome).
The Department offers state-of-the-art research facilities including,
high-end computer servers and workstations, head-mounted (SMI) and DPI
eye-tracking equipment, and software and corpus infrastructure.
Saarland University has an international profile in computational
linguistics, cognitive science and computer science. The research
environment is further supported by a European Graduate School for
''Language Technology and Cognitive Systems'' (joint with Edinburgh
University) and a Centre of Excellence (SFB 378) in the area of
''Resource Adaptive Cognitive Processes''.
The University of Saarland seeks to increase the proportion of women
in positions where they are under-represented, and therefore
particularly encourages applications from women. In the selection
procedure, disabled persons with equivalent qualifications will be
favoured.
