Germany) invites applications for two half-time positions of research
assistants (Wissenschaftliche Mitarbeiter, German pay-scale 1/2 BAT IIa) in
the GDE-project (Grammatik des Deutschen im europaeischen Vergleich). Both
positions are non-permanent starting on October 1, 2005 and terminating
after two years.

The project aims at profiling the German grammar against a typological
background and in contrast to other European languages. Core contrasting
languages are English, French, Polish and Hungarian
(http://www.ids-mannheim.de/gra/eurostudien.html). The project group is
currently focusing on the morphology and syntax of nominal expressions and
constructions.

The successful candidate will have a Master/Magister or equivalent degree
in Polish or Hungarian linguistics (Polonistik, Hungarologie) or is a
native speaker of Polish or Hungarian with a Master/Magister or equivalent
degree in theoretical or German linguistics. In either case, a strong
command of German is mandatory as well as an excellent knowledge of
phonology or (morpho-)syntax. Research in one of these two areas is
expected to be done from a contrastive perspective (Polish/German or
Hungarian/German) and should result in a doctoral dissertation.
