What else I would like to say
I studied linguistics and psychology at the University of Vienna. I moved to the Medical University of Vienna, where I graduated from N790 (CLINS). My main research interest is the development of language and cognition across the lifespan (my current focus is on childhood, but I am also interested in later life stages). Currently, I hold a post-doc position and recently submitted my habilitation. Within the past years at the Medical University of Vienna, I gained insight into the internal processes of the University as well as frequent challenges during the PhD phase. A career in academia is challenging but also inspiring. I would like to share my personal experience.
