<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:Minion">The Descriptive and Comparative Linguistics group at the Leiden University Center for Linguistics invites applicants for a PhD position in South-American historical and comparative linguistics. The main task of
the PhD candidate will be to reconstruct socio-historical relationships between Pano, Arawak, and Andean groups in central Peru, based on a comparison of lexical and structural linguistic data. In cooperation with the other team members, these linguistic data
are supplemented with geographical, ethnological, and genetic data, in cooperation with the other members of the project.
