Offer Description
UiT The Arctic University of Norway has established «The Arctic MSCA-PF program» (uit.no/project/arcticmsca ) to recruit excellent young researchers planning to apply for a Marie Skƚodowska-Curie Postdoctoral Fellowship (MSCA-PF) to pursue a career in research. We invite applications from promising young researchers within the field of Linguistics (Language Acquisition, Multilingualism, Experimental Psycholinguistics). The selected candidate will write a proposal for a 24-month MSCA-PF at UiT together with Associate Prof. Natalia Mitrofanova. This is an opportunity to accelerate your research career while living in the urban research city of Tromsø, uniquely located at the top of the world surrounded by some of Europe’s last pristine wild nature.
This call is one of 74 from pre-selected supervisors at UiT The Arctic University of Norway through the “Arctic MSCA-PF program”. Successful postdoc candidates will be invited for a three-day MSCA-PF symposium June 4-6, 2024 (hybrid physical/digital event, see details at uit.no/project/arcticmsca/program-structure ). At this event, the candidates will present their past research achievements, discuss future plans with their potential supervisor and learn how to write a successful MSCA-PF application. The selected candidates will, jointly with the supervisor, write the MSCA-PF application by the deadline of September 11, 2024.
In this call we search for talented, young researchers within the field of Linguistics as presented by Ass. Prof Mitrofanova:
My research lies within language acquisition (monolingual, bilingual, second, third) and processing. As the PI of the “Language” domain of the recently funded C-LaBL center, I’ll be especially happy to supervise and collaborate on a project that focuses on the effects language distance on multilingual language acquisition and/or processing. In my research I’ve used a variety of experimental paradigms ranging from acceptability judgements and elicited production tasks to Visual World eye-tracking experiments (including online eye-tracking) and EEG. I have done work on various languages (including Slavic, Germanic, and Romance languages, in different combinations), and structures: locatives, grammatical gender, case, verbal aspect, agreement and word order.
Please send your CV (max 3 pages) and describe a research project that will strengthen and complement the presented research (max 2 pages) to [email protected] by Feb 16th 2024. Mark your application "Arctic MSCA". Successful candidates will be contacted in late March 2024.
