Ph.D. Positions Nijmegen

[P.Fikkert]

Dear Brian,

I would like to inform the linguistic community of the following PhD
positions. Thanks in advance,

Best regard,

Paula Fikkert






TWO PHD STUDENTSHIPS, NIJMEGEN (THE NETHERLANDS)

Applications are invited for the above positions, which are part of
the research program "Changing Lexical Representations in the Mental
Lexicon", funded by NWO.

The aims of the Research program are
(a)  detailed study of the phonological and morphological changes in
various paradigms throughout the history of Dutch and the way in
which paradigms did or did not undergo paradigm leveling. This will
be compared with cross-linguistic results from other Germanic
languages.
(b)  in-depth study of how children build up lexical representations
and determine the pathways of development in the lexical
representations, the phonological and morphological components of
grammar, and their interaction.
(c)  to determine the nature of lexical representations in the
phonology-morphology interface, the direction of change, and to
identify triggers for change.
(d)  to investigate the consequences of the results for formal
theories of phonology and the organization of both the lexicon and
the grammar.

PROJECT I: a 4-year salaried Ph.D. position, investigating changes in
various morphological paradigms, both derivational and inflectional,
in the history of Dutch and closely related languages, particularly
of West Germanic.

PROJECT II: a 4-year salaried Ph.D. position., investigating both the
early stages of acquisition and later stages in which morphological
characteristics of the language are acquired.

Applicants for either of the two Ph.D. positions must have native or
near-native competence in Dutch, and must have completed
undergraduate study in phonetics, phonology, morphology, historical
linguistics or psycholinguistics. The salary will be according to the
Dutch regulations for "AIO's".

The closing date for applications is September 18, 2002. The starting
date is as soon as possible thereafter.

Applicants should send a full CV and arrange for at least one letter
of reference to be sent to:

Katholieke Universiteit Nijmegen, Faculteit der Letteren, Afdeling
Personeelszaken, Postbus 9103, 6500 HD Nijmegen, with reference to
'vacaturenummer 04.82.02' for project I and 'vacaturenummer 04.83.02'
for project II on both envelop and letter.
Applications can also be submitted by email: pzlet at let.kun.nl.
