Offer Description
Language is what makes us human. That is why we need more research that helps us better understand language and how we use it. Would you like to contribute to a greater understanding of the cognitive and social processes underlying language systems, processing and use? If so, then you have a part to play as a PhD candidate at the Centre for Language Studies.
As a PhD candidate, you will participate in the Graduate School for the Humanities. As part of this position, you will write a PhD thesis and provide your services to the Faculty of Arts at Radboud University for a period of six months. As this position is embedded in the Centre for Language Studies, your thesis should be in accordance with one of the three big questions of this centre. Descriptions of these questions, and of the research groups that contribute to these focus areas, can be found on the CLS website.
As a PhD candidate at CLS, you will be part of the Graduate School for the Humanities. You will devote 75% of your time to the research for and writing of your PhD thesis. The other 25% are for training and academic service to the Faculty of Arts, including teaching.
