FUNDED POSTDOCTORAL POSITION– Educational Neuroscience and Developmental Language Disorders Group

Updated: over 2 years ago
Job Type: FullTime
Deadline: 24 Nov 2021

The Basque Center on Cognition Brain and Language – BCBL (San Sebastián, Basque Country, Spain) is offering one 2-year funded Postdoctoral opportunity to integrate the Educational Neuroscience and Developmental Language Disorders group led by Dr. Marie Lallier ([email protected] ). The position is not linked to a specific project; the postdoctoral researcher will have the opportunity to work on their own research ideas within the main research interests of the group, whilst collaborating on other projects conducted by the group.

About the Educational Neuroscience and Developmental Language Disorders group: Our group’s main research objectives aim at elucidating the neurocognitive mechanisms subtending typical and atypical language and reading development while transferring this knowledge to clinical and educational practice. Our research projects are driven by the desire to reach a better understanding as to why some individuals struggle to acquire language, in its oral or written forms, and of the neurocognitive and environmental factors that play a significant role in the manifestations of these developmental language disorders (e.g., bilingualism, language characteristics, musical practice, etc). Our group uses various techniques (e.g., behavioral testing, EEG, MEG) and designs (cross-linguistic, cross-sectional, longitudinal, and training studies) in bilingual and monolingual populations including infants, children, and adults, with and without language and reading disorders. We are strongly committed to transferring our fundamental research into practice, and are actively collaborating with clinicians and educators to improve the early detection, diagnosis and remediation of children with developmental language and reading difficulties

About the BCBL: The BCBL offers an exceptional research environment with cutting edge facilities to conduct innovative and impactful research. The center provides the opportunity to collaborate with highly qualified and specialized international researchers with diverse theoretical backgrounds and expertise in advanced methods, but also with highly competent administrative and technical staff.
