We would especially welcome thesis projects with a potential for
cross-fertilizing areas within the department and/or with partners in
the Human Language Technology Center in the Stockholm–Uppsala
University Network (<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.uu.se/suun/eng/hltcenter.php">http://www.uu.se/suun/eng/hltcenter.php</a>). For
example, the thesis project might involve one of the profile areas of
the department, language typology (see
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.ling.su.se/ASV/engelska/eng-text.html">http://www.ling.su.se/ASV/engelska/eng-text.html</a>) or early language
acquisition in children. It might also relate to activities within the
Userware Laboratory at the Swedish Institute of Computer Science
(SICS), such as data-oriented models of semantics. Examples of other
such cross-border areas are symbolic and statistical methods for
parsing and computational linguistics for under-resourced languages.<br>

<u>General information</u><br>
<br>
Applicants must have an undergraduate degree including at least an
equivalent of the Swedish “magister” programme in General Linguistics.
This programme focuses on linguistic theory and comprises four years of
study including the writing of two research papers. Applicants from all
countries are welcome. Knowledge of Swedish is not a formal requirement
but students are strongly advised to acquire a working knowledge of
Swedish as soon as possible (language courses are offered by the
university). Additional details on the general admission requirements
for postgraduate studies at Stockholm University can be found at
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.su.se/english/study/postgraduate-studies">http://www.su.se/english/study/postgraduate-studies</a>. <br>
<br>
During the period of the studentship, the student is a regular employee
of the University. The beginning salary is SEK 21,600 a month
(approximately € 2,100 or USD 3,100). <br>
<br>
The first period of employment is for one year. The employment contract
can then be renewed for at most two years at a time, up to a total of
four years, or, if the student accepts teaching or administrative
duties at the department (not exceeding 20% of full time), maximally
five years.<br>

The Department of Linguistics at Stockholm University
(<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.ling.su.se">http://www.ling.su.se</a>) has about 60 employees, which makes it one of
the larger departments at the Faculty of Humanities. The department is
organized into six sections, namely, General Linguistics, Computational
Linguistics, Phonetics, Sign Language for the Deaf, Swedish for the
Deaf, and Modern Greek. The research at the Department of Linguistics
belongs to one of fifteen areas at Stockholm University which have been
graded as “leading research” in the sense of being nationally leading
and having a high international status (see
