Description:

Doctoral position in General Linguistics at the Johannes Gutenberg University 
Mainz, Germany.

The Emmy Noether Research Group 'Neurolinguistic Foundations of Information 
Structure' (funded by the German Research Foundation, DFG) headed by Petra 
Schumacher is seeking to fill the position of a doctoral researcher. Starting date: 
February 1, 2012 or soon thereafter. 

The doctoral position is part of a neurolinguistic project that investigates language 
comprehension at the interface of syntax, semantics and information structure 
(http://www.linguistik.uni-mainz.de/schumacher/research-group/). The doctoral 
researcher will work within our group on a project that investigates referential 
processing in German. The project will either extend previous research with 
unimpaired comprehenders or investigate referential processing in aphasia 
patients. The primary experimental method employed will be event-related brain 
potentials. 

The ideal candidate should have a degree in linguistics or a related discipline. S/he 
should have a keen interest in experimental work, as well as in syntactic and 
pragmatic theory. Experience with event-related brain potentials and/or language 
impairment research will be a plus. Knowledge of German would be beneficial. The 
successful candidate will work towards a PhD in Linguistics from the University of 
Mainz on a topic related to the research group.

The position has an initial term for two years, with the possibility of extension 
contingent on future funding. The salary and social benefits are determined by the 
German pay scale for state employees (EG 13 TV-L 50%).

Interested candidates are invited to send their application materials electronically 
to petra(dot)schumacher(at)uni-mainz(dot)de. Pdf files are preferred. Applications 
can be written in German or English and should include CV, contact information of 
at least two referees, and a brief statement of research interests. Applications 
received by January 06, 2012 will receive full consideration, but the search 
continues until the position is filled.

For more information contact Petra B. Schumacher by email at 
petra(dot)schumacher(at)uni-mainz(dot)de 

Application Deadline: 06-Jan-2012
