Adapting to a Bilingual Environment: Investigating how shifts in language and experience shape language processing and cognitive functions

This PhD position at the University of Greenwich investigates how bilingual experience interactively affects cognitive and emotional functioning, particularly as more students pursue academic studies in languages other than their native tongue. The project aims to deepen understanding of the psychological and linguistic mechanisms underlying bilingualism, focusing on how language learning and usage impact cognitive processes and emotional well-being. The research may involve psycholinguistic experiments, surveys, or cross-cultural studies to explore the interplay between language proficiency, academic performance, and emotional adjustment. The position is ideal for candidates interested in the intersection of psychology, linguistics, and cognitive science, and who are passionate about advancing knowledge in multilingual education and student experience. Funding details and specific eligibility requirements are not provided in the current description. Interested applicants should consult the University of Greenwich for further information about application procedures and deadlines.
