PhD-position at the Max Planck Institute for Human Development, Berlin

The project „Cognitive and Neural Dynamics of Memory Across the Lifespan
(CONMEM)” at the Max Planck Institute for Human Development, Center for
Lifespan Psychology (Director: Prof. Dr. Ulman Lindenberger), is seeking
applications for a

Predoctoral Research Fellow


The doctoral fellowship will last for 2 (+1) years. The position is
available from May 1, 2014 or earlier.

Job Description
The CONMEM project (PIs: Dr. Yee Lee Shing & Dr. Markus Werkle-Bergner)
investigates lifespan changes in the interplay between associative and
strategic components of memory functioning on neural and cognitive
levels, with a focus on working and episodic memory (see Sander, et al.,
Neurosci. Biobehav. Rev., 2012; Shing, et al., Neurosci. Biobehav. Rev.,
2010). Future research will advance a multi-modal imaging approach (EEG
source imaging in combination with structural and functional MRI) to
uncover lifespan differences in rhythmic neural activity related to
perception, attention, and memory (e.g., Werkle-Bergner et al.,
Neurosci. Biobehav. Rev., 2006). The successful predoctoral fellow will
plan and conduct empirical studies in this domain, analyze the
behavioral, EEG, and MRI data, and prepare scientific manuscripts for
publication.
For further information, please contact:
Dr. Markus Werkle-Bergner (werkle@mpib-berlin.mpg.de)

Requirements
A successful applicant needs to hold a diploma/master degree in
psychology, cognitive neuroscience, computer science, or related fields.
Applicants should have experience with conducting experimental research,
knowledge in neuroimaging methods (preferably EEG), and a solid
background in at least one programming language (preferably Matlab or
R). In addition, the ability to work independently as well as a high
proficiency of the English language is required.

The Max Planck Society is interested in increasing the number of women
on its scientific staff. We strongly encourage applications from women
and members of minority groups. In addition, the Max Planck Society is
committed to employing more handicapped individuals and encourages them
to apply.

To apply, please send (via email only) a statement of research
interests, a CV, a copy of relevant certificates, (p)reprints of
publications, and a list of two references to Dr. Markus Werkle-Bergner,
MPI for Human Development, Lentzeallee 94, 14195 Berlin
(werkle@mpib-berlin.mpg.de) by March 31th, 2014.

AUSTRALIA AWARDS SCHOLARSHIPS APPLICATION ROUND 2014/15 NOW OPENS!

BACKGROUND

The Australia Awards are prestigious international scholarships and fellowships funded by the Australian Government. They offer the next generation of global leaders an opportunity to undertake study, research and professional development in Australia and for high-achieving Australians to do the same overseas.

The Australia Awards are a whole-of-government initiative bringing together scholarships and fellowships administered by the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade the Department of Education and the Australian Centre for International Agricultural Research (ACIAR).

In 2012, the Australian Government invested $334.2 million in Australia Awards, enabling 4,900 recipients from more than 145 countries to undertake study, research and professional development. Indonesia, Vietnam and Papua New Guinea were the three largest recipient countries of Australia Awards, with 55 per cent of incoming recipients from the Asia region.

The Australian Government provides Australia Awards because it recognises that education develops skills and knowledge, builds enduring people, country and professional links, and has the power to influence positive change.

The Awards strive to develop leadership potential and stimulate lasting change by empowering a global network of talented individuals through high-quality education experiences in Australia and overseas.

Recipients return home with new ideas and knowledge, and the ability to make a significant contribution to their home countries as leaders in their field. The Awards also demonstrate Australia's commitment to providing education opportunities to improve living standards and stimulate economic growth in developing countries. For Australia, the Awards build an engaged and influential global network of leaders, advocates and change-makers and establish a network of ambassadors across the world.

PhD Student, University of Zurich, Switzerland

Open PhD position, Conversation Analysis / Interactional Linguistics with Focus on Language and Space

The University Research Priority Program (URPP) Language and Space studies the complex interrelations between language and space. It focuses both on the way people anchor their interaction in a specific physical environment and construct a common space for their interaction (‘interactional spaces’) and on the distribution of language(s) in geographical space through research on dialect/language contact (‘language spaces’). The URPP approaches relations between language and space with cutting-edge technology, combining insights from interactional linguistics with dialectology and language typology. Particular emphasis is placed on crossing traditional subdisciplinary boundaries, combining research in computational linguistics, geographic information science, general linguistics, Romance studies, German studies, Slavic studies, English studies, and Sinology (see www.spur.uzh.ch for further information).

The URPP is now seeking applicants for a PhD position which will study the relationship between interaction and space using a methodology informed by conversation analysis and interactional linguistics.

The PhD candidate will be expected to conduct research under the supervision of an interdisciplinary team. He / She will work in the VideoLab, one of three research laboratories set up as part of the URPP (alongside the CorpusLab and the GISLab). Additionally to her / his own research, the successful candidate will also advise and support members of the URPP with respect to the collection of video data. The PhD candidate will also be a member of a larger research group that focuses on the interplay between space and interaction. For more information, see: www.spur.uzh.ch

We are looking for a highly motivated original thinker with a desire to develop a career in research. In return, we offer excellent working conditions, a stimulating environment and Zurich’s high quality of life. Applicants are required to have completed a Master’s level degree in linguistics or a MA in German Studies, English Studies, etc. with a specialization in linguistics. A willingness to specialize in conversation analysis / interactional linguistics and especially an interest in studying the role of space in and for interaction are prerequisites. Familiarity with the collection and analysis of video data is highly desirable. Experience with software for transcription, annotation and management of video corpora is a plus. Applicants must have a good command of German and English or be ready to acquire this during the first six months after taking up the position.

Send curriculum vitae, a personal statement, an outline of the planned dissertation in one page, transcripts, and contact details for two referees (including e-mail addresses) in a single PDF document, and with reference “VideoLab PhD”, to info@spur.uzh.ch by 03/30/2014.

For further questions, please contact Wolfgang Kesselheim at wolfgang.kesselheim@ds.uzh.ch.

Application Deadline: 30-Mar-2014
