Description:
Doctoral position in General Linguistics at the Johannes Gutenberg University
Mainz, Germany.
The Emmy Noether Research Group 'Neurolinguistic Foundations of
Information Structure' (funded by the German Research Foundation, DFG)
headed by Petra Schumacher is seeking to fill the position of a
doctoral researcher. Starting date: February 1, 2012 or soon
thereafter.
The doctoral position is part of a neurolinguistic project that
investigates language comprehension at the interface of syntax,
semantics and information structure
(http://www.linguistik.uni-mainz.de/schumacher/research-group/). The
doctoral researcher will work within our group on a project that
investigates referential processing in German. The project will either
extend previous research with unimpaired comprehenders or investigate
referential processing in aphasia patients. The primary experimental
method employed will be event-related brain potentials.
The ideal candidate should have a degree in linguistics or a related
discipline. S/he should have a keen interest in experimental work, as
well as in syntactic and pragmatic theory. Experience with
event-related brain potentials and/or language impairment research
will be a plus. Knowledge of German would be beneficial. The
successful candidate will work towards a PhD in Linguistics from the
University of Mainz on a topic related to the research group.
The position has an initial term for two years, with the possibility
of extension contingent on future funding. The salary and social
benefits are determined by the German pay scale for state employees
(EG 13 TV-L 50%).
Interested candidates are invited to send their application materials
electronically to petra(dot)schumacher(at)uni-mainz(dot)de. Pdf files
are preferred. Applications can be written in German or English and
should include CV, contact information of at least two referees, and a
brief statement of research interests. Applications received by
January 06, 2012 will receive full consideration, but the search
continues until the position is filled.
