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.

Applications for this postdoc position are welcome from excellent candidates in the areas of psycholinguistics, cognitive linguistics, or cognate fields (e.g. cognitive/experimental psychology). You will readily fit in an existing programme of research looking at the effects of language-specific categories on cognitive representation and processing. The main project will focus on comprehension of spatiotemporal metaphors and time perception, developing further the research published in these papers:
The Whorfian time warp: Representing duration through the language hourglass
Cognitive restructuring: Psychophysical measurement of time perception in bilinguals

establish and maintain training and contact with Lund University Humanities Lab.
contribute to and develop the research environment in the area of language and cognition at the Centre for Language and Literature at Lund University.
assist in the write-up of a joint application for further funding.
Teaching, supervision and other teaching-related duties may be involved within the framework of the position, but for not more than 20% of working hours.
