Contact: Elisabeth Delais-Roussarie, LLF
Contact email: elisabeth.roussarie at wanadoo.fr
University: University Paris 7
Job rank: Postdoctoral researcher
Duration: Part-time job (50%) or a 6-month full-time job 
Salary: Approximately 2,000 EUR a month (full-time) or 1,000 EUR a month 
(part-time)
Keywords: phonology - syntax interface and prosodic phrasing (Phonology 
and phonetics)
Application deadline: 2011/11/10
Application email: madda at limsi.fr
Application reference: EFL-PPC7

This post-doc position is offered by the 10-year project 'Empirical foundations 
of linguistics' that is starting in 2011. This position is linked to 
the work package « Prosodic phrasing and prosodic hierarchy : a data driven 
approach » of the strand « Phonetic and phonological complexity - boosting 
empirical approaches » project.

The successful candidate will investigate how to provide a formal grammar 
that accounts for prosodic phrasing in French in a stochastic grammatical 
paradigm. As many independantly motivated constraints come into play and 
interact in a complex way, corpus analyses will be necessary to formulare 
and outweight the various constraints/parameters. Applications for a full-time 
6 month position or for a 1 year part-time position will be considered.

The applicant should have a PhD in phonology or phonetics. S/he should also 
have the following skills :
(i) excellent knoweldge of phonological and phonetics works dedicated to 
phrasing and the phonology-syntax interface. Comprehensive understanding 
of recent stochastic approaches to phonological modeling will be highly 
valuable (stochastic OT, etc.)
(ii) research experience in phrasing in French and/or in other Romance or 
Germanic languages
(iii) experience in corpus work and experimental phonology (designing an 
experience to elicit data, etc.)

The candidate should send a CV with list of publications, a website where 
publications can be found and the names of two referents.
