Présentation

### **!Anouncement postdocotral position on brain and language research with me and Prof Liina Pylkkänen (NYU)!** We are looking for a motivated post-doctoral researcher for a period of 24 months to work on the ANR funded project ‘The Spatiotemporal Dynamics of Syntax across the Language Modalities (DynSyn),’ with Dr. Kristof Strijkers of AMU-France as PI and with Prof. Liina Pylkkänen of NYU-USA as an external collaborator. In this project, we investigate whether our brains compute syntax similarly in language production and language perception. As a post-doctoral researcher, you would have two principal roles: (1) be the lead in a research project investigating syntactic processing in production and perception with fMRI and/or EEG/MEG (we offer flexibility in paradigm, technique, etc.) (2) collaborate on M/EEG studies on the same topic with a PhD candidate in the team (Bissera Ivanova). Applicants should hold a PhD in a relevant discipline (e.g., cognitive science, linguistics, psychology, neuroscience, biology), and have prior experience with neuroimaging techniques like EEG, MEG and/or fMRI. A strong background in psycho-/neuro-linguistic theory will be considered a significant plus. Start: January-February 2024 Duration: 24 months Monthly salary: ~2200€ net/month (dependent on experience) A complete application (via email; see below) should contain: 1. up to date CV 2. Letter of motivation (max. 2 pages) 3. Two reference letters All documents should be sent via email to kristof.strijkers@univ-amu.fr Deadline: 15 October, 2023 ------------------------------------------------ **Short CV Kristof Strijkers:** Born on the 15th of March 1983 in Rumst (Antwerp - Belgium). I earned my **MA in psychology (Theoretical and Experimental Psychology) at the University of Ghent (Belgium) in 2006.** Afterwards, I moved to Barcelona (Spain) where I received another **MA in Cognitive Neurosciences and Language in 2007 at the Universitat de Barcelona (UB; Spain)**. In 2007 I started my PhD ("The Electrophysiology of Language Production: Lexical Access in Picture Naming") at the **University of Barcelona and I received my PhD title in Cognitive Neuroscience and Language in February 2012**. After my PhD I became a **Marie Curie post-doctoral fellow of the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS) at the Laboratoire de Psychology Cognitive (LPC) in France**, where I explored the role of intention and goal-directed behavior in language processing with neurophysiological techniques such as ERPs and MEG. **Since 2014 I am a full-time CNRS researcher at the Laboratoire Parole et Langage (LPL) in Aix-en-Provence**. In my research I attempt to bridge traditional linguistics and psycho-linguistics with neuroscience. In this manner I aim to understand how complex cognitive behavior as language production and comprehension can be explained in terms of basic neurobiological properties of the brain and its neural code. My main topics of research: **1)** The spatiotemporal dynamics of language production and comprehension; **2)** The role of top-down attention and goal-directed behavior in language processing; **3)** The neural representations of words in the monolingual and bilingual brain. **Received Grants (as PI):** * **ANR-PRC grant (ANR-22-CE28-DynSyn):'’DynSyn’**: *The Spatiotemporal Dynamics of syntax in Language Production vs Perception'.(together with Liina Pylkkänen of NYU-USA).
