Description:

The National University of Singapore will hire a Research Fellow (post-doc) with specialization in experimental syntax and/or psycholinguistics under the project “Closest Agreement and Memory” (PI Zheng Shen). The position is for two years, ideally beginning early to mid-2022.

With the PI, the Research Fellow will investigate agreement phenomena that show sensitivity to linear order, e.g. closest conjunct agreement, and their interaction with memory mechanisms. The Research Fellow also has freedom to pursue their own projects within this theme.

Ideal candidates will bring familiarity with the literature on memory-related psycholinguistic studies and/or have published on related topics. Previous experience with memory-related psycholinguistics experiments is a plus. There is no teaching obligation.

Salary will be competitive and commensurate with qualifications. Funds exist for travel to international conferences. The Research Fellow must have their PhD in hand by the start of the position.
