Three (3) PhD Positions, Tilburg center for Cognition and Communication (TiCC), Tilburg University, Netherlands (2015-2016)

TiCC offers a home to more than 80 researchers, including 30 PhD students. We are seeking to extend our research team with three new and enthusiastic PhD colleagues:
- 3 PhD students, fulltime or 80%

PhD positions are specifically sought on TiCC’s research themes, which include, but are not limited to:
- Language acquisition, learning.
- Social media, interpersonal communication.
- Spoken language, non-verbal behaviour, emotion.
- Medical communication, eHealth, empathy.
- Social aspects of interaction (e.g., exclusion, reconciliation, intergroup relations).

For a full list of TiCC research themes, see here. Prospective candidates are expected to write and possibly defend an original 2-page research proposal, related to one of the research themes of TiCC. In addition, names of a potential daily supervisor and promotor should be included. We explicitly expect assistant and associate professors within TiCC to play a central role in the selection and supervision of these 3 PhD candidates. Research proposals that combine the two research programs are especially encouraged.
