<p style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; line-height: normal; margin: 0px 0px 15px; padding: 0px;" class="">
The Department of Linguistics, the Department of Swedish Language and Multilingualism, and the Department of Asian, Middle Eastern and Turkish Studies are looking to strengthen our research in <em style="line-height: normal;" class="">Linguistic Diversity</em>,
recently funded as a future research area at the Faculty of Humanities. As a first step, we are now hiring a researcher experienced in computational methods applicable to linguistic research. The researcher will be based at the Department of Linguistics, which
coordinates the <em style="line-height: normal;" class="">Linguistic Diversity</em> future research area.</p>

<strong style="color: rgb(0, 46, 95); font-family: verdana, Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; line-height: normal;" class="">Project description<br class="">
</strong>The goal of the <em style="line-height: normal;" class="">Linguistic Diversity future research area</em> is to create a collaboration focusing on language documentation and systematic cross-linguistic study of structural patterns and diversity in the
world’s languages as distributed in space and time. We investigate how these patterns emerge and spread and how they are embedded in the larger cultural and ecological context of speakers and their communities. We are also concerned with broader questions
related to determinants and effects of linguistic diversity such as universal vs. modality specific constraints on language, implications of linguistic diversity for linguistic theories, the relationship between linguistic diversity and cognitive processes,
etc. We intend to strengthen our capacity for experimental, quantitative and computational methods and thereby enhance a further consolidation of the group.</p>

<strong style="color: rgb(0, 46, 95); font-family: verdana, Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; line-height: normal;" class="">Main responsibilities<br class="">
</strong>The researcher is expected to work in collaboration with the participating departments, and to help launch new projects in the field of linguistic diversity that would benefit from the researcher's specialized skills. For projects involving neuroimaging,
the researcher may also want to cooperate with the recently opened Stockholm Brain Imaging Center (SUBIC), managed by the Department of Linguistics.</p>
