University of Frankfurt/Main offers two post-doc positions and 8
doctoral research grants. The GK has as its focus of research
"Sentence types: variation and interpretation" and will start on April

doctoral research. Postdocs will be expected to coordinate and
support dissertation projects in more than one sub-discipline. One
postdoctoral position is reserved for "Syntax/Typology" research.
Applicants for this position should have significant expertise in both
the formal theory of grammar and in language typology. The other
position is for "Semantics/pragmatics". Again applicants for this

and pragmatics.
