Postdoctoral Researcher: Memory Access in Language

4 weken geleden


Utrecht, Utrecht, Nederland Universiteit Utrecht Voltijd

We are seeking a highly motivated and talented postdoctoral researcher to join our team at Universiteit Utrecht. The successful candidate will be part of a dynamic and interdisciplinary team working on the project "Memory Access in Language (MEMLANG)" led by Dr. Jakub Dotlacil.

The project aims to develop a general model of memory that can provide insights into how we store and retrieve linguistic information and how our language use is intertwined with memory when we communicate. The model will be hybrid, merging linguistic factors uncovered in computational and theoretical linguistics with general cognitive mechanisms.

The postdoctoral researcher will be responsible for developing, implementing, and testing the model, as well as analyzing experimental data and reporting findings at conferences and in peer-reviewed journals. The position is part of the computational component of the project and will involve collaboration with PhD candidates and supervisors.

We are looking for a candidate with a strong background in (computational) linguistics, AI, computer science, or psychology, and solid knowledge in programming. The ideal candidate will have a PhD degree in hand by the starting date and be able to work independently as well as part of a team.

The position is offered for 3 years, with a working week of 32-36 hours and a gross monthly salary between €4,185 and €4,340. We offer a pension scheme, partially paid parental leave, and flexible employment conditions.

For more information, please contact Dr. Jakub Dotlacil at j.dotlacil@uu.nl or Maaike Schoorlemmer at m.schoorlemmer@uu.nl.

We value staff with diverse backgrounds, perspectives, and identities and strive to create a safe and inclusive environment in which everyone can flourish and contribute.

To apply, please send your CV, motivation letter, copies of relevant diplomas and academic transcripts, and your (draft) PhD thesis, and, if available, relevant publications.
