Description:

The English Linguistics Group at the University of Kaiserslautern currently

development, before taking up the position (i.e., Masters or equivalent for the 
doctoral position; PhD or equivalent for the postdoctoral position). Also 
required is a very good knowledge of English and ideally at least a working 
knowledge of German. 

Salary is on the German scale TV-L E13, 50%. Some additional funds are 
available to cover travel costs for presentation at conferences and 
attendance at courses off site (e.g., summer schools). The position is for 
three years, with possible extension as appropriate. The earliest starting date 
is March 1, 2011.

The University of Kaiserslautern is seeking to increase the proportion of
