Description:

At the CENTER FOR RESEARCH ON MULTILINGUALISM of the UNIVERSITY OF HAMBURG

project 'Variation in multilingualism on the Faroe Islands'. 
 
The project, funded by the German Science Foundation (DFG) and the University of
Hamburg, examines both the development of the Faroese and Danish language in the
20th century as spoken by the oldest (75 years and older) and youngest
generation (15 to 20 years). The aim of this project is to describe and evaluate
the evolution of Faroese-Danish diglossia/bilingualism as well as accounting for
the occurring phenomena of transfer.

The position is part-time and gives the researchers the opportunity of
doing a Ph.D. Beginning: August/September 1, 2005 (until June 30, 2008). 

Applicants should have a University Degree in Germanic linguistics
(Scandinavian or any other Germanic language/s) or in General linguistics,
preferably with emphasis on sociolinguistics and/or language
contact/multilingualism. For this position native speaker competence in
Faroese is absolutely indispensable. Furthermore, applicants should have
good knowledge of English and/or German.

It is the policy of the University of Hamburg to encourage women to apply
for academic positions.  Physically disabled persons will be preferred when
candidates have the same qualification.

Applicants should send full their CVs (with passport photos), copies of
their academic exams and two recommendation letters by July 1st, 2005  to
