​We are looking for curious and intelligent outstanding PhD candidates to join the lab! The lab’s core research areas include language acquisition, psycholinguistics, and the impact of cognitive biases on language structure and change. We want to understand what it means to know language; how it is acquired; and how our cognitive biases impact the language emergence, structure and change. Our research lies at the intersection of Cognitive Science, Linguistics, and Psychology, and employs a range of experimental and computational methods. Our lab is committed to maintaining and promoting a diverse and inclusive environment. We seek to recruit, support, and retain members from diverse backgrounds and groups that have historically been underrepresented in the sciences.​

 

The selected candidate should be suitable for one of the flagship programs (Psychology, Cognitive Science, ELSC), have a background in a relevant field (Psychology, Computer Science, Linguistics, and Cognitive Science), and have proven research experience during their bachelor's degree or earlier (as a research assistant or student intern). Knowledge of programming is an advantage.

 

​​​The positions require a passion and a commitment to science, intellectual curiosity, a collaborative spirit, and fast learning skills. Candidates should contact Prof. Arnon - Inbal.arnon@mail.huji.ac.il.
