A BAT IIa (0.5) position is available beginning March 2004. 
The position is founded by the German Science Foundation.

The successful applicant should prepare, run, and analyze the outlined experiments 
supported by student assistants. Results should be presented at national and 
international conferences and summarized in articles. Applicants should have a 
degree in Psychology or Linguistics with a strong background in research methods, 
experimental and cognitive psychology as well as in statistics. Expertise in 
conducting eye-tracking experiments in production is welcome but not a requirement.

The project investigates whether morphologically complex words are used as 
specifications in certain production contexts. The pragmatic situation and the 
time pressure are manipulated hoping to elicit morphologically complex answers. 
Semantically and/or phonologically related distractors will be presented along 
with the target picture. Picture-naming and picture-word interference naming 
latencies are the main dependent variable besides eye-tracking data.

Applications received by January 30, 2004 will receive full consideration. Send 
letter of interest, vita, reprints (if available), statement of research interests 
to: 
Dr. Jens Bölte,
