Deadline for application: June 9th, 2025 - 1:00 pm CEST.
n. 3 positions, of which:
- n. 1 position funded by the ERC project “PROcessing MEtaphors: Neurochronometry, Acquisition and DEcay” (PROMENADE) on the topic “Sentence structure and metaphor interpretation”, CUP: I17G22000450006.
The project will deal with the investigation of sentence structure and interpretation through a combination of both theoretical approaches (formal, syntactic, and semantic principles, with particular attention to the generative grammar model and the interface with pragmatics e to the predicative links in sentence structure and metaphorical expressions) and experimental methods.
- n. 1 position funded by the ERC project “PROcessing MEtaphors: Neurochronometry, Acquisition and DEcay” (PROMENADE) on the topic “metaphor and neuropragmatics”, CUP: I17G22000450006.
The project will deal with topics in experimental pragmatics and neuropragmatics (in particular metaphor and non-literal language), developmental pragmatics, language and pragmatic disorders, also via NLP and computational modelling of behavioral and neural data.
- n. 1 position funded by IUSS on the topic “Computational models”.
The project will deal with computational models of language acquisition and processing, and corpora analysis.
Test schedule
The results about the evaluation process will be published on the IUSS website http://www.iusspavia.it.
The interviews will be carried out on 14/07/2025 at 10:30 am (CEST), at the IUSS building or online, via Zoom.
