The NWO Gravitation consortium 'Language in Interaction' invites
applications for a junior PI position.
We are looking for a highly motivated, creative and talented researcher
who is able to establish a junior PI group on 'the neuroanatomy of
language'. The junior PI and his/her group will enrich a unique
consortium of researchers that aims to unravel the neurocognitive
mechanisms of language at multiple levels. The goal is to understand
both the universality and the variability of the human language faculty
from genes to behaviour.
You will be given the opportunity to establish your own independent
research group, and you will have free access to the Donders Institute's
scanning facilities. You will be expected to conduct research in one or
more research areas relevant to the position applied for. Supervision of
BSc, MSc and PhD projects will be part of your responsibilities.
Administrative duties will include local and/or national and
international committee memberships. You will be provided with budgetary
resources for a PhD candidate or technician, materials and consumables.
The Netherlands has an outstanding track record in the language
sciences. The research consortium 'Language in Interaction', sponsored
by a large grant from the Netherlands Organization for Scientific
research (NWO) brings together many of the excellent research groups in
the Netherlands with a research programme on the foundations of
language. The consortium includes representatives from seven
universities and one research institute in the Netherlands. These are
Radboud University (RU), University of Amsterdam (UvA), University of
Maastricht (UM), Leiden University (LU), Utrecht University (UU),
Erasmus University Rotterdam (EUR), Tilburg University (TiU), and the
Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics (MPI). Excellence in the
domain of language and related relevant fields of cognition is combined
with state-of-the-art research facilities and a research team with ample
experience in complex research methods and utilization. This consortium
achieves both quality and critical mass for studying human language at a
scale not easily found anywhere else in the world.
The position will be embedded in the Donders Institute for Brain,
Cognition and Behaviour at Radboud University and the Max Planck
Institute for Psycholinguistics. Both institutes conduct research in an
international setting. English is the lingua franca.
