The Department of Modern Languages and Linguistics at Florida State University invites applications for a two-year postdoctoral researcher position as part of an NSF funded project, led by Dr. Antje Muntendam. This project investigates the linguistic outcomes of language contact between Quechua and Spanish in Peru and Argentina, with a particular focus on intonation, and in the case of Quechua, its interaction with morphology. The project specifically examines the production and perception of questions in both languages. This interdisciplinary project uses a combination of (socio-)linguistic and psycholinguistic methods, including eye-tracking. The goal of the project is to shed light on the effect of linguistic and social factors on the outcomes of language contact.

Primary responsibilities:

• Conduct field research on Spanish and Quechua in Peru and Argentina, using a combination of linguistic and psycholinguistic methods under the supervision of the PI
• Analyze data from production and perception tasks, including eye-tracking experiments
• Collaborate with the Principal Investigator (PI), undergraduate research assistants, and local research assistants in Peru and Argentina
• Work with the team to disseminate research findings through peer-reviewed publications and presentations at national and international conferences
