The successful candidate will be expected to contribute to a working group investigating various aspects of first language acquisition from a crosslinguistic and psycholinguistic perspective. The group is headed by Michael Tomasello and Elena Lieven. Ongoing research is conducted both through experiments and the analysis of rich databases and focuses on the cognitive and pragmatic bases of language; the development of syntactic constructions; and the roles of frequency and entrenchment in that development.

We are particularly looking for someone capable of working in both German and English language development.
