About the Role

We are seeking a highly motivated researcher to join our team at BCBL as a funded PhD candidate. The successful applicant will be part of an exciting project exploring foreign-directed speech, which is a speech register used by native speakers when addressing non-native listeners.

Project Overview

The goal of this project is to provide evidence on the didactic impact of foreign-directed speech on language processing and comprehension in foreign listeners. Our research aims to explore whether prediction, comprehension, listening effort, attention, and information retention are promoted by foreign-directed speech compared to native-directed speech.

Responsibilities
  • Designing and implementing studies to investigate foreign-directed speech perception and production in adults
  • Analyzing acoustic, behavioral, and electrophysiological data during speech processing
  • Writing research articles under the supervision of the PI, targeting top-tier journals
  • Disseminating results at international scientific conferences and to the general public
Requirements

To be considered for this position, you should have a good knowledge of cognitive neuroscience and/or linguistics, experimental psychology, and acoustics, phonetics, and phonology. A Master's degree (or equivalent) in relevant areas is required, along with excellent written and oral communication skills in English.

Benefits

This role offers a competitive salary of €21,000 per year gross, on average across the four years of the contract. You will also have access to training opportunities and a career development plan, including individually personalized research projects, networking, and complementary training courses.

Working Conditions

This is a full-time temporary position, lasting four years. The starting date is flexible, but it will be between January 1st and April 30th, 2025. The job status is full-time, with 35 hours worked per week.
