Description:
The International Max Planck Research School (IMPRS) for Language Sciences is now advertising three fully funded PhD positions.
The IMPRS for Language Sciences is the leading research school in the world devoted to studying the foundations of human language. It is a joint initiative of the Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics, the Donders Institute for Brain, Cognition and Behaviour, and the Centre for Language Studies of the Radboud University. The research school offers unrivalled training, top facilities (from genetics labs, advanced brain imaging techniques, psychology labs to supported fieldwork opportunities), and an outstanding interdisciplinary environment (see website: http://www.mpi.nl/education/imprs-for-language-sciences).
We aim to attract outstanding students who wish to earn a PhD degree in any area of Languages Sciences. Broad questions addressed by students of the IMPRS include: What is the architecture of the language system? How is language represented in the brain? How does your genome help you speak? Why is the human brain capable of learning and processing diverse languages? If you have a background in Psychology, Linguistics, Genetics, or Neuroscience, you could contribute to fundamental science in this area and earn a PhD degree in the International Max Planck Research School for Language Sciences.
PhD projects are fully funded for three years. PhD students receive a monthly salary sufficient to cover living costs in Nijmegen. The Max Planck Society is an equal opportunity employer.
Requirements:
Applicants must have a Master's degree (or expect to complete the degree before September 2015) in a relevant field. The working language of the research school is English.

I. Curriculum Vitae (CV). Include:
- relevant work and educational background;
- details about your Master's degree, including names of supervisors, date of completion, title of thesis, a brief description of your topic;
- grades for relevant coursework;
- details about relevant technical or research skills (e.g., programming, statistics, experimental design / methods, molecular biology, neuroimaging, practical phonetics, corpus methods, fieldwork);
II. Research proposal. On a single page, please provide:
- potential title of your project (maximally 10 words);
- the name of the research institute(s) and/or department(s) within the IMPRS that you would regard as your primary affiliation;
- research question (one sentence, maximally 20 words);
- theoretical motivation of the proposed research (why is your question interesting?);
- an outline of the empirical approach (which method(s) will you employ?);
The details of the research project will be agreed with the supervisors. We ask for a proposal to get a first impression of your interests.
III. References.
Please provide contact details of two academic referees. Non-native speakers of English must also provide a TOEFL/Cambridge/IELTS certificate or equivalent before taking up the post.
