Description:

The Amsterdam Center for Language and Communication (ACLC) has up to 
two four-year PhD positions available for excellent candidates with an 
excellent research proposal, starting September 2012. 

Research at the ACLC:
The Amsterdam Center for Language and Communication focuses on the 
description and explanation of variation in language and language use. A key 
feature of the ACLC approach is that linguistic phenomena are studied from 
the widest possible variety of perspectives, both descriptive and theoretical, 
in order to ensure that the findings are not accidental, but are truly 
representative of the basic parameters that govern the organization of natural 
languages. The ACLC includes both functional and formal approaches to 
language description and encourages dialogue between these approaches. 
Studies cover all aspects of speech and languages: phonetics, phonology, 
morphology, syntax, semantics and pragmatics. Language typology, 
including that of creole and signed languages, plays an important part in the 
ACLC programme. Language variation in terms of time, space and context is 
another specialisation. The study of variation in the different types of 
language user - from the child learning her first language to the adult second 
language learner including also different types of language pathology - is also 
a clear focus.

PhD proposal:
The PhD proposal should fit within the ACLC research programme, The 
Language Blueprint, preferably also within the research focus area 
Learnability (see ACLC website for more information). Proposals furthermore 
focusing on foreign languages taught at the University of Amsterdam are 
specifically invited. Your research proposal should follow the guidelines that 
you will find on the ACLC website under Vacancies.

Tasks:
The PhD student needs to carry out the research and write a dissertation 
within the contract period.

Requirements:
MA in linguistics (or equivalent), obtained no longer than five years ago.

Information:
Further information can be obtained from the managing director of the 
research institute dr. Els Verheugd-Daatzelaar, contact information below.

Position:
The PhD student will be appointed for a period of up to 4 years (80%) at the 
Faculty of Humanities of the University of Amsterdam under the terms of 
employment currently valid for the Faculty. A contract will be given in the first 
instance for one year, with an extension for the following years on the basis 
of an evaluation of, amongst other things, a written piece of work. The salary 
(on a full time base) will be EUR 2042 during the first year (gross per month)
and will reach EUR 2612 during the fourth year, in accordance with the CAO
for Dutch universities. 

Application/Submissions:
You can apply for one of the PhD positions to be filled September 1st 2012, 
by submitting your own proposal before Tuesday, January 17th 2012 (January 
16th 23:59 at the latest). The Guidelines on the ACLC website provide further 
information on how to submit your proposal. Submissions of a proposal 
should be sent to the director of the ACLC, prof. dr P.C. Hengeveld. They 
should preferably be submitted electronically to the address aclc-fgw at uva.nl. 
Applications received after this date or those that are incomplete will not be 
taken into consideration.
