Department: General Linguistics
Job Location: Zurich, Switzerland 
Web Address: http://www.spw.uzh.ch
Job Rank: Post Doc  

Specialty Areas: Text/Corpus Linguistics; Typology; Statistics

Description:

The General Linguistics Department at the University of Zurich invites 
applications for a postdoctoral researcher position. The field of specialization is 
in statistical approaches to areal/historical and/or corpus-based typology (in the 
broadest sense, including also for example cross-linguistic research in language 
acquisition or anthropological linguistics). The regional focus is open, but work 
on the Americas, on Eurasia or on a global scale is particularly welcome. The 
successful candidate is expected to develop his or her own research agenda in 
close collaboration with other members of the department and the wider 
linguistics community in Zurich, and possibly extending to colleagues in other 
fields. 

Applicants must have completed a Ph.D. thesis in linguistics, should be familiar 
with typological research and quantitative methods and should have an excellent 
command of (academic) English. (Fluency in German is desirable but not 
necessary).

Terms of employment: the position is initially offered for one year, but can be 
extended beyond this. The position also includes teaching obligations between 2 
and 4 hours per week. (The exact extent and terms can be negotiated.)

Starting date: as soon as possible.

Application: 
Deadline: September 24, 2012
Address: Prof. Dr. Balthasar Bickel (see application email address below)
Applications must be in PDF format and include a curriculum vitae as well as a 
cover letter summarizing research goals and interests. Applicants should also 
arrange for two letters of reference to be sent directly to the application email 
address below.

Application Deadline: 24-Sep-2012 (Open until filled)
