Nicole Gotzner
I am a professor in the Cognitive Science Institute at Osnabrück University. My research areas are Semantics, Pragmatics and Psycholinguistics/Neurolinguistics. I lead the SPA Lab, which is partly funded by the DFG Emmy Noether program. Visit my lab's website for more information.
Before coming to Osnabrück University, I was a group leader at the University of Potsdam, I held a replacement professorship at Humboldt University (Berlin) and a postdoc position at ZAS (Berlin), funded by the Priority Program Xprag.de. I was a visiting researcher at Macquarie University (Sydney) and Stanford (Palo Alto). Currently, I am an honorary fellow at UCL (London) and Ulster University (Belfast).
I am the editor-in-chief of Palgrave Studies in Pragmatics, Language and Cognition and a member of the Editorial Board of Glossa: Psycholinguistics.
