Research interests of the successful candidate may include neural encoding of hierarchy in language, neural basis of compositional processing in language or compositional reasoning, neurocomputational principles of learning/memory systems supporting language. Applications from candidates whose research creates other meaningful connections between computational neuroscience and language are also welcome. Diverse methodological approaches will be valued, including evolutionarily- and biologically-plausible neural modelling.
The successful candidate will engage with the interdisciplinary research within the NCCR Evolving Language and strongly contribute to its scientific development and broader agenda. Administrative responsibilities within the Department of Basic Neurosciences and the Faculty of Medicine are expected, in addition to the NCCR-related administration.
Teaching at both the undergraduate and postgraduate levels within the Faculty of Medicine, along with supervising Master’s and doctoral theses, will be part of the role.
