The cluster of excellence Hearing4all:
Models, Technology and Solutions for Diagnostics, Restoration and Support of Hearing
at the Carl von Ossietzky Universität Oldenburg (in collaboration with Medizinische Hochschule Hannover and Leibniz Universität Hannover) is seeking to fill as soon as possible the position of a

Postdoctoral Research Associate
in the Field of Psycho-/Neurolinguistics

in the Department of Dutch, Faculty of Linguistics and Cultural Studies.

The position is available from 1 November 2016 until 31.12.2018. Payment is depending on previous experience (German TV-L E13, full time) and is not suitable for part-time work.

A paramount goal of the cluster of excellence Hearing4all (www.hearing4all.de) is to transform audiology into an “exact” science based on the interplay between experiment and theory as well as between basic science and clinical research.

The candidate will be working within the project The effects of hearing impairment on grammatical processing and comprehension and its neurological underpinnings.

Candidates are expected to have an academic university degree in the field of (psycho-) linguistics, psychology (with a specialization in speech/language processing) or a related discipline and have shown their ability to perform excellent scientific work, usually demonstrated by the outstanding quality of their Doctorate/PhD research and a good publication record.

We are seeking candidates with experience in statistical analysis as well as extensive knowledge in fMRI and/or in MEG/EEG research. Matlab skills will be helpful, as well as working knowledge of German. Since the position entails close interdisciplinary cooperation with several other disciplines (psychology, audiology), the willingness and ability to integrate methods, concepts and issues of the ‚other’ discipline into theories, concepts and methods current in one’s own field are required for successful work in this project.

The University of Oldenburg is an equal opportunity employer and is dedicated to increasing the percentage of women in science. Therefore, equally qualified female candidates will be given preference.
Applicants with disabilities will be preferentially considered in case of equal qualification.

Please send your application including a cover letter, CV, list of potential referees, links to recent publications and copies of certificates for academic grades to Prof. Dr. Esther Ruigendijk, Carl von Ossietzky Universität Oldenburg, Fakultät III, Dept. of Dutch, 26111, Oldenburg or as an email attachment to [log in to unmask] (application by email is preferred). Prof. Esther Ruigendijk can be contacted for further questions regarding the position. The application deadline is 25th Oktober 2016.
