Description of the workplace
The successful applicant will be working in the English unit at the Centre for Languages and Literature, the largest department in the Joint Faculties of Humanities and Theology. At this unit, research and teaching is conducted within language and linguistics, literature, education, academic writing, and English for specific purposes (ESP). Here you will be conducting cognitive and experimental linguistic research in the Humanities Lab in close collaboration with, and under the leadership of, professor Panos Athanasopoulos. There are currently around 15 linguistic PhDs and 6 PhD students employed by or associated with the English unit. These linguists represent a number of different research areas, for instance syntax, cognitive linguistics, psycholinguistics, language acquisition, linguistic variation, language history and academic writing. We care about having a nice work environment where everyone is respected and seen.

The Whorfian time warp: Representing duration through the language hourglass
Cognitive restructuring: Psychophysical measurement of time perception in bilinguals
