The cluster of excellence Hearing4all: Models, Technology and Solutions for Diagnostics, Restoration and Support of Hearing at the Universität Oldenburg (in collaboration with Medizinische Hochschule Hannover and Leibniz Universität Hannover) is seeking to fill as soon as possible the position of a

Research Associate (fulltime) in the Field of Psycholinguistics and hearing research (m/f/d)

in the Department of Dutch, Faculty of Linguistics and Cultural Studies.

The position is available from 1st of October 2023 (or as soon as possible after that) until 31st of December 2025. Salary is depending on previous experience and education (German TV-L E13 https://lohntastik.de/od-rechner/tv-salary-calculator/TV-L/E-13/1). The position is suitable for part-time work.

A paramount goal of the cluster of excellence Hearing4all ( www.hearing4all.de) is to transform audiology into an "exact" science based on the interplay between experiment and theory as well as between basic science and clinical research. In the framework provided by the cluster the successful candidate is expected to contribute to the research goals of the cluster to research thread 1 "Auditory processing deficits throughout the lifespan", in which one of the goals is to identify the impact of hearing loss in young and old age on cognitive and language development and its decline. Specifically, the candidate is expected to do research on the interaction of hearing abilities and language processing/development.

Candidates are expected to have PhD in the field of (psycho)- linguistics, psychology, or a related discipline (with a specialization in speech/language processing and/or language acquisition) and have shown their ability to perform excellent scientific work, usually demonstrated by the outstanding quality of their Doctorate/PhD research and a good publication record. Experience in hearing research is an advantage.

We are seeking candidates with experience in statistical analysis as well as knowledge in at least one of the following methods/areas: language acquisition, online sentence processing, reaction time studies, eye tracking, ERP. Matlab skills, and/ or experience with E-prime will be helpful, as well as working knowledge of German. Since the positions entail close interdisciplinary cooperation with several other disciplines (audiology, psychology, physics), the willingness and ability to integrate methods, concepts and issues of the 'other' discipline into theories, concepts and methods current in one's own are required for successful work in this project.

The University of Oldenburg is an equal opportunities employer. According to § 21 para. 3 of the legislation governing Higher Education in Lower Saxony (NHG), preference shall be given to female candidates in cases of equal qualification. The same applies to persons with disabilities.
