PhD Student for ‘ICT Reading Intervention’, Netherlands
PhD Student for ‘ICT Reading Intervention’, Netherlands
Job description:
As a PhD student you will work on the project ‘ICT reading intervention’, a project that is part of the FES Programme Brain & Cognition (see ). The focus of this project will be on the optimal benefits of training in a computer-supported intervention programme for poor readers in primary school in the Netherlands. Guidelines for optimizing an existing adaptive computer-supported intervention programme will be derived from a series of formative training experiments with children with reading problems at various grade levels. In these experiments, the focus will be on the benefits of speed training of sublexical units (phonemes, syllables, morphemes), words, sentences and text. In subsequent summative studies, an adapted version of the programme will be tested in an early intervention of reading problems in grade 1 and in remediation of poor readers in subsequent grades.
Requirements:
You should have: – a Master’s degree in Research Master Cognitive (Neuro)science or Behavioural Science, Education, or another relevant study; – broad experience with quantitative research, outstanding methodological and analytical qualities, and experience with collecting and analysing data; – excellent writing skills in Dutch and English; – an organizational talent, accompanied by independence and perseverance.
