Guidelines for applications: http://www.rug.nl/let/onderzoek/onderzoekinstituten/
clcg/positions/ 

These guidelines should be used for writing your application for a research 
position leading to a PhD in our Graduate School. All positions are for a period of 
four years, on the condition of a positive evaluation after 18 months. 
The goal of the application format is twofold: 
1. It will enable us to judge the merit of the topic which you wish to study in 
relation to the goals of the specific research programme within the field of 
linguistics. 
2. It will enable us to compare the relative merits of the applicants efficiently and 
with a minimum of bias. 
Please respect these guidelines. Applications that do not follow this format will be 
rejected. 

Your application should consist of the following elements in the following order: 
1. A letter of application 
2. A curriculum vitae, including date and place of birth, the name of your 
secondary school, and (if applicable) list of academic publications
3. A certified copy of your diploma ('doctorandus' or MA degree, or an equivalent) 
and your academic record and grades 
4. Two academic references 
5. A research project proposal of no more than three pages (plus figures and 
references). 

Our most important question in evaluating project sketches is always: will this 
project contribute to our scientific understanding of language? To determine this 
we want to know whether an important question is addressed, and whether there 
is a reasonable strategy for finding an answer. See for more requirements 
regarding the sketch: http://www.rug.nl/let/onderzoek/onderzoekinstituten/clcg/

On the website of the CLCG, you can find more information on what we expect 
from our PhD students:  http://www.rug.nl/let/onderzoek/onderzoekinstituten/clcg/
