The Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics
offers scholarships for research leading towards a PhD in the field of
spoken-language comprehension.
The successful candidate will develop a sissertation project within the
ongoing research themes of the Comprehension Group. The Institute's
website, especially the most recent Annual Reports, can provide more
information about the group's research, currently centred around the two
institute projects 'Phonological Learning for Speech Perception' and
'Decoding Continuous Speech'. The research will certainly involve
laboratory experimentation, and candidates should preferably have native or
near-native competence in Dutch or German; or at least the willingness to
learn Dutch. Candidates with a background in experimental psycholinguistics
or experimental phonetics may receive preference.
With respect to the research project, a topic concerning audiovisual speech
perception or the perception of reduced forms in spontaneous speech is
currently of most interest to the group, but other topics that also fall
into the scope of the two projects 'Phonological Learning for Speech
Perception' and 'Decoding Continuous Speech' are possible as well. The
research will concern language perception by adults, but may involve a
variety of methodological approaches, including cross-linguistic
comparisons, the use of neuroscientific techniques, or computational
modelling.
