Four-year PhD position in developmental neurosciences at the Centre for Research in Cognition and Neurosciences, Université libre de Bruxelles, Belgium

Adélaïde de Heering is hiring a graduate student on the Acquisition and Learning of Infant Conscious Experience (ALICE). This project will investigate how consciousness emerges and develops in the infant brain using electrophysiological markers. Applicants are currently enrolled in, or hold, a master’s degree or equivalent in a relevant field. They show an excellent academic track record and hands-on experience with developmental research or EEG and have experience with programming languages, and excellent skills in French and English. To apply, please send a CV, copy of your diploma or transcripts, a 1-page personal statement including your research interests and why you want to work on the project, a 1-page summary of your master or bachelor thesis, or a written sample of your choice, and the contact information of at least two referees.

Research Position — A statistical mind: combining prior and contingent language statistics, University of Pavia, Pavia, Italy

This position, within the FWO-funded STATMIND project, investigates how prior linguistic knowledge shapes the statistical learning of new linguistic regularities. The researcher will develop computational measures from language corpora and Distributional Semantic Models and use them to design experiments and model how prior knowledge influences the learning of novel words, in collaboration with Ghent University (Prof. Louisa Bogaerts) and based at the University of Pavia (Prof. Luca Rinaldi).
