The Basque Center on Cognition Brain and Language – BCBL- (San Sebastián, Basque Country, Spain) is offering one 2-year funded Postdoctoral opportunity.
Job description: The postdoctoral fellow will join the BCBL Infancy Language and Cognition research group. We are seeking applicants interested in early language acquisition and bilingualism, with experience in designing and conducting experimental studies using neurophysiological methods such as electroencephalography (EEG) and functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS), and with a keen interest in analyzing and interpreting neurophysiological data. The postdoctoral fellow will contribute directly to the group’s ongoing research supervised by Dr. Marina Kalashnikova. This research focuses on the earliest neurobiological indices of language ability in infants and their interaction with environmental factors such as quantity and quality of early language input and exposure to multiple languages from birth. The postdoctoral fellow will be involved in the group’s ongoing longitudinal and cross-sectional studies and will be encouraged to develop their own research line that will complement the group’s research priorities, as well as to contribute to supervision of graduate projects in the group. The postdoctoral fellow will have full access to the state-of-the-art facilities of the BCBL BabyLab and its extensive database of monolingual and bilingual infant participants.
PI and research group: Dr. Marina Kalashnikova is the leader of the Infant Language and Cognition group at the Basque Center on Cognition Brain and Language. The group investigates the process of early language acquisition, specifically the emergence and consolidation of speech perception and word-learning abilities over monolingual and bilingual infants’ first two years of life, as well as interactions between these early language abilities and the development of general perceptual and cognitive capacities. The primary aim of this research is to define the earliest determinants of later individual language ability, including but not limited to endogenous factors, such as family risk for developmental language disorders or hearing loss, and environmental factors, such as the quantity and quality of infants’ early language input. We address these questions through cross-sectional and longitudinal designs that combine neurophysiological (EEG, fNIRS), behavioral (visual preference, eye-tracking), and observational (parent-infant interactions) techniques in the BCBL BabyLab.
