predictability in Morphological paradigms’, led by Sacha Beniamine. The successful candidate will perform a key role in creating new software tools and employing them to measure predictability in morphology. The position is based at the Surrey Morphology Group
at the University of Surrey, in Guildford, and provides the opportunity to work in the vibrant and highly collegial research environment for which the SMG is renowned.</span></h1>

existing software (Qumin) which analyzes morphological lexical data and evaluates inflectional predictability. They will rely on their qualifications in linguistics to study predictability in systems which challenge existing tools and analyses, pushing the
edge of what can be reliably measured and contribute to the large comparative study of macro-variation in predictability, gaining experience in linguistic typology. They will collaborate closely with the team in the writing and dissemination of papers and
presentations, and be expected to take initiative in the formulation of the research agenda.</span></p>

inflectional morphology of at least one language or language family, which can serve as a test-bed for the tools they will develop. They will have experience of software development, and are fluent in Python programming. Candidates with experience programming
as part of a team will be preferred. Mastery over software development tools (command line; git management; continuous pipelines and workflows; IDE) is essential. An interest in reproducibility in science will be an advantage. Experience in using these skills
to answer linguistic questions is essential.</span></p>
