Vacant Graduate Position
The Utrecht Institute of Linguistics OTS (http://www-uilots.let.uu.nl) is a
research institute of the Faculty of Arts of Utrecht University. About a
hundred researchers are involved of which 14 full professors, about ten
postdoctoral researchers and about 40 graduate students. The goal of UiL
OTS is to develop scientific expertise in the area of language, speech and
their use. The institute
has intensive relations with other scientific institutions in the field. It
is penholder of the National Graduate School in Linguistics (LOT) and
participates in the National research school of Logic (OzsL). Within the
research programme of UiL OTS we strive for cooperation between the
different main disciplines of linguistics and related disciplines outside
of linguistics proper. Specific domains of interdisciplinary cooperation
involve a wide range of topics, varying from research into the structure of
the grammatical system (where generative and logico-semantic approaches
join forces) to text evaluation and text design; from the set-up of a
systematic data-base concerning the variation between languages, to the
division of labor between components that are involved in language and
speech; from language acquisition to language pathology.
