Department: Linguistics
Job Location: Leipzig, Germany 
Web Address: http://www.uni-leipzig.de/~asw/
Job Rank: Professor  

Specialty Areas: Typology 

Description:

The Linguistics Department of the Faculty of Philology is seeking to fill the 
position of 

W2-Professor of General Linguistics (Specialization: Language Typology) 

to begin on April 1, 2012.

Within the larger field of general linguistics, the holder of this position will 
conduct both teaching and research in the area of language typology. 
Applicants are expected to have an excellent scientific record in this area 
and to have carried out research that is internationally visible. Candidates 
should have research foci in both morphology and syntax. In addition, they 
should have peer-reviewed publications reporting in-depth studies on 
typologically different non-Indo-European languages; and they should 
have excellent knowledge of current theories of grammar, documented in 
both teaching and research.

Candidates are required to have successfully submitted grant proposals 
before, and to have carried out research projects with researchers 
employed by these grants. Furthermore, candidates should be prepared to 
participate in cooperative research activities (like a projected graduate 
program, a future DFG Research Unit, and ultimately perhaps a 
Collaborative Research Centre (Sonderforschungsbereich, SFB) ).

The professorship will involve teaching duties at both graduate (Master) 
and undergraduate (BA) levels.

Rights and duties associated with the position are due to the university 
law of Saxony (SaechsHSG) and the regulation of service duties of 
Saxony. Candidates must fulfill the preconditions for employment 
according to § 58 SaechsHSG. The Leipzig University attaches 
importance to equal treatment of women and men. Seriously disabled 
persons are encouraged to apply and will be preferred given equivalent 
qualification.

Applications should include the usual supporting documents (CV, list of 
publications, list of presentations, copy of Ph.D./Dr.phil certificate.)
