Not funded by a EU programmeIs the Job related to staff position within a Research Infrastructure? NoOffer Description Information about the project:Foreign Directed Speech (hereafter FDS) is a speech register that native speakers use when addressing non-native (foreign) listeners. The present project will provide evidence on the didactic impact of FDS (i.E., facilitated speech perception) on foreign listeners, and evidence on the didactic function of FDS (i.E., being produced to help foreign listeners in perception and comprehension). Our main goal will be to explore to what extent FDS promotes language processing and comprehension. More specifically, we will address whether prediction, comprehension, listening effort, attention and information retention are promoted by FDS relative to NDS (i.E., Native Directed Speech). We will also explore whether FDS is language-, speaker- and listener-specific, or whether it is universal. The outcome of this project will be highly relevant for models on multilingual communication and speech accommodation. It will also have important pragmatic implications given that a large majority of people around the world communicate in a foreign language or with foreign listeners.Responsibilities Designing and implementing studies exploring FDS perception and production in adultsAnalysing acoustic, behavioural and electrophysiological data during speech processingWriting research articles under the supervision of the PI, aiming to publish at top-tier journalsDissemination of results at international scientific conferences and to the general publicQualifications Good knowledge of the field of cognitive neuroscience and/or linguistics, experimental psychologyMaster's (or equivalent) degree in Psychology, Cognitive Neuroscience, Linguistics, and/or other relevant areasGood knowledge of acoustics, phonetics, phonologyStrong background in experiment programming and statistical analysesExcellent written and oral communication skills in EnglishSpecific Requirements Previous experience in participating in research projects (e.G
