The goal is to understand both the universality and the variability of the human language faculty from genes to behaviour.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><br><br>The Netherlands has an outstanding track record in the language sciences. This research consortium sponsored by a large grant from the Netherlands Organization for Scientific research (NWO) brings together many of the excellent research groups in the Netherlands with a research programme on the foundations of language. The research team consists of 43 Principal Investigators. In addition to the excellence in the domain of language and related relevant fields of cognition, our consortium provides state-of-the-art research facilities and a research team with ample experience in the complex research methods that will be invoked to address the scientific questions at the highest level of methodological sophistication. These include methods from genetics, neuroimaging, computational modelling, and patient-related research. This consortium realizes both quality and critical mass for studying human language at a scale not easily found anywhere else.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><br><br>Currently, the consortium advertises seven PhD positions for a period of 4 years. Depending on the PhD position applied for, candidates will be appointed at one of the home institutions of the consortium. These positions provide the opportunity for conducting world-class research as a member of an interdisciplinary team.</span></div><div style="margin: 0px 0px 0.0001pt; line-height: normal; background-color: white;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; color: rgb(102, 102, 102);"> </span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 9pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; color: rgb(102, 102, 102);"><br></span><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Click for more information on the PhD positions and how to apply:</span></div><div style="margin: 0px 0px 0.0001pt; line-height: normal; background-color: white;"><b><span style="font-size: 9pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; color: rgb(102, 102, 102);"><a href="http://www.languageininteraction.nl/jobs/id-2nd-phd-call-general.html">http://www.languageininteraction.nl/jobs/id-2nd-phd-call-general.html</a></span></b></div><br><br><div><span name="x"></span><font size="1">Carolin Lorenz<br>Secretary - Language in Interaction Consortium<br>Radboud University | Donders Centre for Cognitive Neuroimaging (DCCN) | room 0.78<br>Kapittelweg 29, 6525 EN Nijmegen, The Netherlands | P.O.
