[Dagmar Jung]

(apologies for cross-postings)

Positions available:

3-4 Postdoctoral/predoctoral researchers in 
typological/comparative/historical linguistics or in neuro/psycholinguistics

The Distributional Linguistics Lab at the Department of Comparative 
Language Science of the University of Zurich 
(https://www.ivs.uzh.ch/en/DLL.html) invites applications for 3-4 
four-year postdoctoral or predoctoral positions in various projects on 
evolutionary patterns in syntax (clause linkage, hierarchy, case 
assignment) and phonology (rule/constraint domains), focusing on both 
universal and areal aspects and collaborating with neuroscientists, 
psychologists, biologists, and geographers.

Predocs are expected to finish a (cumulative) dissertation within 4 
fully-funded years (60% FTE) and enrol in the Graduate School of the UZH 
Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences 
(https://www.phil.uzh.ch/en/studium/doktorat.html). Postdocs (80% FTE) 
are expected to take the lead on publications and move projects ahead in 
close collaboration with the lab director. Postdoc position includes 
teaching obligations of up to 1 course per semester (BA and MA levels).

Applicants combine training in typological/comparative/historical 
linguistics or in neuro/psycholinguistics with a vivid interest to learn 
techniques from the other field. Familiarity with statistical methods 
are an important asset, but we also offer training and support on the job.

The lab places great emphasis on teamwork and on multidisciplinary 
perspectives. Excellent communication and collaboration skills are 
essential. We also strongly aim at gender diversity, and we particularly 
encourage women to apply.

Applications should include a letter of motivation, a CV (with course 
listings), one or two writing samples, and the names of three 
references. Please send your application to jobs at ivs.uzh.ch
<mailto:jobs at ivs.uzh.ch>

Review of applications starts February 15, and applications are accepted 
until the position is filled. Questions can be addressed to Balthasar 
Bickel (balthasar.bickel at uzh. <mailto:balthasar.bickel at uzh.ch>ch
