Applications are invited for a 4-year half-time Ph.D. position in the field ofvisual word recognition and/or reading acquisition at the German Department atGhent University (salary 28.400 Euro per year).
The successful candidate will work in the project "Interactions of phonology andorthography in German visual word recognition" funded by the Flemish FWO. In this project, we are investigating the interaction of phonology and orthographyin beginning readers of German and how this interaction develops over time asreading proficiency grows. The relevant data will be collected in Germany(Cologne, Bonn, and Bielefeld).The successful candidate will plan and conduct psycholinguistic experiments(reaction-time, eye-tracking) and analyse data. S/he will write a Ph.D. thesison a topic related to this research at Ghent University.
Profile of the candidate:
- Master's or equivalent degree in linguistics (i.e. e.g. General Linguistics,German Linguistics, Psycholinguistics, or Clinical Linguistics),
- Background in experimental psycholinguistics and statistical data analysis,
- Good knowledge in at least one of the following areas: phonology, readingacquisition, visual word recognition,
- Good command of English and German.
The grant starts during spring 2009. Application letters including a shortstatement of interest, a full CV, a copy of the required diploma, and the namesof two academic referees should be sent by 5 February 2009.

PhD position in Ecology at University of Antwerp, Belgium
The university is seeking to fill the full time vacancy (m/f) at the Department of Biology of the Faculty of Sciences.
Preference goes to a candidate with a keen interest for evolution, behaviour and ecology. Research topic is the study of the causes and consequences of coexistence of multiple discrete female damselfly (Insecta: Odonata) morphs (with genetic base). Intriguingly, one female morph much resembles the conspecific males phenotype to such extent that intraspecific mimicry in the context of sexual conflict has been suggested. Several studies indicate frequency-and density-dependent selection. Broad aim of the PhD research is study of causes and consequences of variation in social environments (densities and frequencies of males and female morphs) on the success, behaviour and phenotype of males and females. Fieldwork is planned at several locations in Europe (such as Belgium, Netherlands, Spain). It also is expected for the candidate to take part in a limited amount of teaching assistance.
Requirements
* Degree in Biology (also students that finish later this term are encouraged to apply).
* Preparing a PhD. The job offer is for two years, while typically 4 years are required to complete a PhD in Belgium. Therefore, the candidate will need to apply for additional funding for which several possibilities are available (e.g.; http://www.fwo.be, http://www.iwt.be).
* Owner of a drivers license.
* Preferentially the candidate also is used to advances statistical methods. The field work requires independence, flexibility and a taste for adventure.
Offer and further information:
Full time job from March 1 2009 or later (as agreed) for a period of two years.
For further please contact me at email: Hans.Vangossum@ua.ac.be or phone ++ 32 3 265 32 82
