As part of a new research network that has been established at the Georg-August-University of Göttingen - Research Training Group (RTG) 2906 Curiosity - we advertise two PhD positions (all genders welcome) Entgeltgruppe 13 TV-l/75%. Both positions are for an initial period of three years, with a very strong possibility of extension for a further year. The project is expected to commence on August 1st, 2024.

Scientists in RTG 2906 will investigate the neuropsychological, biological and computational underpinnings of curiosity. The network comprises a highly interdisciplinary consortium of psycholinguists, psychologists, biologists as well as systems and computational neuroscientists who will work together to answer three broad research questions:

(A) When are we curious?

(B) Why are we curious?

and (C) How are we curious?

We advertise two PhD positions within RTG 2906 with a linguistic focus. One position will investigate the role curiosity plays in children’s reading choices, lexical development and knowledge acquisition. The PhD researcher will combine corpus analyses of children’s books with lab experiments and longitudinal studies, to achieve a comprehensive picture of how children’s curiosity affects their reading behavior and subsequent development. The second PhD position will examine the factors that induce curiosity across early development and how these factors shape early word learning. In particular, the PhD researcher will devise a set of studies to examine how infants, young children and adults attend to objects in their environment, and examine how differences in attention shape the learning of novel labels for these objects. A particular focus is on the use of head-mounted eye-trackers to examine language learning in naturalistic interactions between children and their caregivers.

Detailed information on the application process, the research project and the training programme are available on the RTG webpage (https://www.uni-goettingen.de/de/681631.html). As part of the online application process, you will be asked to upload a motivation letter and certified copies of your degree and language certificates.
