:: Apologies for multiple postings ::

The Department of Communication and Information Sciences, in particular the
research program Communication and Cognition, currently is looking for two
new enthusiastic and competent PhD colleagues on the following two
projects:

- Project 1: The Production of Referring Expressions
- Project 2: Prosodic Markers of Information Status

The two projects are part of the study of how communication partners adapt
their communicative behavior (their prosodic and referential behavior
respectively) given different production and audience design conditions.
The projects fit in research areas which are covered in other research
projects in the department.

Requirements
For the two positions, we seek a candidate with a background in
experimental psycholinguistics, communication & information sciences,
social sciences or some related area, with experience in doing
experiments, and (depending on the project) a proven interest in one or
more of the following area?s: phonetics, speech or writing production,
discourse reference, multimodal reference, audience design and alignment.

The PhD candidates have a (research) master degree in one of the
aforementioned areas, a strong interest in doing research, excellent
writing skills and a good command of English. Developing and defending a
project plan within the research area of the project will be part of the
procedure.

Deadline for applications is June 25, 2009.
