================================================================  

The LINGUIST List strongly encourages employers to use
non-discriminatory standards in hiring policy. In particular we urge
that employers do not discriminate on the grounds of race, ethnicity,
nationality, age, religion, gender, or sexual orientation. However, we
have no means of enforcing these standards.

Job seekers should pay special attention to language in ads regarding
employment requirements and are encouraged to consult our international
employment page http://linguistlist.org/jobs/jobnet.html. This page has been set 
up so that people can report on the employment standards of various countries.

Description:

The newly founded Courant Research Centre "The Multi-layered Text Protocol:
Micro and Macro Level Structures in Written Discourse" at the University of
Göttingen invites applications for three Tenure-Track Professorships to
build up
Independent Research Groups

The positions are available immediately, will be at the W1 salary scale
(Junior Professorship), have a reduced teaching responsibility (2 hrs/wk),
six years of funding to build up an Independent Research Group and a
tenure-track option (W2/W3) depending on successful review after 3 and 6 years.

We are looking for young scientists with outstanding scientific
qualifications as documented by research activities and publications who
have earned a qualified doctoral degree within the last six years or longer
if due to familial circumstances.

The main goal of the three cooperating research groups in the envisaged
Courant Research Centre is to develop and to validate a multi-layered
representation platform for joint interdisciplinary text analysis. Insights
of theoretical linguistics and literary studies will be surveyed and tested
for cross-level interpretive effects. The centre further aims at a
systematic empirical exploration of the hypothesized interacting
text-structural layers documented in the Text Protocol by exploiting
well-established experimental methods of cognitive psychology. The centre
is seeking candidates with an internationally acknowledged track record,
who will complement and strengthen the existing research program. 

For the first theory-oriented research group the centre is preferably
seeking candidates with expertise in one or several of the following areas
of linguistics: formal grammar (particularly syntax and semantics); formal
pragmatics; discourse theory. A strong interest in the analysis of literary
text is required.

For the second theory-oriented research group the centre is preferably
seeking candidates with expertise in one or several of the following areas
of literary studies: narratology; methods of textual analysis; literary
semantics; cognitive poetics; cognitive stylistics; empirical studies of
literature. A strong interest in linguistics is required. 

For the third empirically focused research group the centre is preferably
seeking candidates with expertise in one or several of  the following areas
of cognitive psychology: psychology of human language (particularly text
comprehension; reading comprehension; spoken language and conversation;
models of reading and comprehension); psycholinguistics; semantic memory. A
good standing in experimental methods is required (particularly computer
based experiments; eye tracking). Experience with physiological methods
(EEG, fMRI) in event related designs would be advantageous.

The University of Göttingen places particular emphasis on fostering career
opportunities for female scientists and scholars and therefore strongly
encourages qualified women to apply. We explicitly welcome applications
from abroad. Disabled persons with equivalent aptitude for the position
will be favoured.
Applications must be submitted by 3rd of  May 2009, via our online
application platform (URL provided below).

Please follow this link for a complete version of the advertisement and
further information on the required documents you must upload. The
selection procedure will include a symposium to be held in June 2009. For
further information on the Courant Research Centre, please visit

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Eastern Michigan University and as such 
can receive donations through the EMU Foundation, which is a registered 501(c) Non 
Profit organization. Our Federal Tax number is 38-6005986. These donations can be 
offset against your federal and sometimes your state tax return (U.S. tax payers 
only). For more information visit the IRS Web-Site, or contact your financial advisor.

Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that they will match any 
gift you make to a non-profit organization. Normally this entails your contacting 
your human resources department and sending us a form that the EMU Foundation fills 
in and returns to your employer. This is generally a simple administrative procedure 
that doubles the value of your gift to LINGUIST, without costing you an extra penny. 
Please take a moment to check if your company operates such a program.
