Job Radboud University Nijmegen - Researcher for Language & Cognitive Neuroimaging

The Donders Institute for Brain, Cognition and Behaviour and the Centre for Language Studies (Faculty of Arts) are seeking to fill a research staff position. The researcher should specialize in cognitive neuroimaging research that is explicitly related to language.

As a researcher you will work at the Donders Centre for Cognitive Neuroimaging, where you will carry out an independent research project. In addition, you are expected to promote and facilitate collaborative research projects proposed by language researchers from the Centre for Language Studies, by liaising between them and fellow researchers at the DCCN.

As a candidate for this position you should have a PhD in one of the relevant fields, showing demonstrable affinity with language and linguistics research. You should have a competitive publication record in the field(s) of expertise, demonstrable experience with research techniques in the area of cognitive neuroscience, and demonstrable experience in language research.

Furthermore you should have an interest in making connections between cognitive neuroscience and linguistics. Candidates with a language-related specialism in multilingualism are especially encouraged to apply.

The position has an initial term for 3 years, with the possibility of extension on the basis of successful grant applications. The position is immediately available.
Depending on experience scale 11 or 12.

Strategically located in Europe, Radboud University Nijmegen is one of the leading academic communities in the Netherlands. A place with a personal touch, where top-flight education and research take place on a beautiful green campus in modern buildings with state-of-art facilities.

The Donders Centre for Cognitive Neuroimaging (DCCN).
At the DCCN, the researcher has free access to state-of-the-art neuroimaging facilities (1.5T, 3T, 7T MRI, whole-head MEG, EEG, TMS, behavioural labs). The centre’s research covers major areas of cognitive neuroscience, as well as cognitive neuroscience methods.

Centre for Language Studies (CLS)
Research at the Centre for Language Studies combines linguistically informed inspiration with a strong empirical and experimental orientation, and is explicitly interdisciplinary in nature, with the Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics and the Donders Institute for Brain, Cognition and Behaviour as collaborative partners.
