Requirements:
A PhD in neurolinguistics or related areas in linguistics.
The candidate`s work must be closely connected to the central topic of EYE-to-IT, broadly construed.
The candidate is expected to have a good command of Norwegian or one of the other Scandinavian languages, as well as of English.
The University of Oslo has as a goal to recruit more women in research positions. Women are encouraged to apply.
The final candidates will be called to an interview at the University of Oslo on May 16th 2006.

EYE-to-IT is an EU-FP6-FET (Future and Emerging Technologies) supported project directed by Professor Maxim Stamenov, at the New Bulgarian University. In connection with EYE-to-IT, a fellowship is awarded for a period of one year with the possibility of a second year renewal contingent upon complementary project funding.
EYE-to-IT: Outline of Project
The purpose of the project is to investigate, under controlled experimental conditions, the task of translating by professional translators. The visual input in the source language (L1) of professional translators will be monitored with eye-tracking technology. The translators` keystrokes during typing in the target language (L2) will be logged with the output monitoring tool Translog. Furthermore, the brain performance during perceptual input and motor output will be monitored with a brain activity recording technique (EEG). The task requirement - translation of identical semantic content from L1 into L2 - will guarantee the compatibility of input and output patterns at a certain level of structure and make it possible to compare and interpret output and input in terms of the complementary pair: comprehension and production. In addition, the interface between the working memory (WM) and long-term memory (LTM) of the translator will be prompted when feedback provided by a modified version of the computerized tool iDict is given. Simultaneously, the brain performance during the prompting with EEG will be monitored. The intention is to achieve an integrated experimental and application design that fulfils the requirements of a human-computer monitoring and feedback system. The building of such a system will allow the in depth study of a mind-brain-behaviour-computer interaction system with a complete-cycle mini-max set of variables. Complete-cycle monitoring offers the possibility of providing its operator with feedback in different combinations for different purposes, e.g. with automatic prompting of the translator`s LTM for fast finding of means of _expression in L2.
We are looking for candidates who work on these kinds of issues, broadly construed.
The candidates will be expected to work in close cooperation with the other researchers in the project, and to participate in the various workshops and conferences organized by the project-leader as part of EYE-to-IT.
The application should be addressed to the University of Oslo and should include: CV (including list of publications), certified copies of references, diplomas, a writing sample (total word limit: 10 000), all in four copies.
Applications must be written in English. Please mark applications with the REF.NO: 06/4088 and send within deadline to the address below.
