Job Location: Düsseldorf, Germany

Description:

The Cooperative Research Center (CRC) 991 'The Structures of Representation in
Language, Science and Cognition', which is funded by the German Science
Foundation at the Heinrich-Heine-University, Düsseldorf seeks a postdoctoral
researcher. The CRC brings together faculty and students from the departments
of General Linguistics, Computational Linguistics, Philosophy, Romance and
German Departments. The successful candidate will be expected to contribute to
this interdisciplinary community.

The successful candidate will contribute to a research project whose goal is
to better understand how compositional semantics interacts with discourse
structure and discourse coherence. The focus of the project is context
dependence of temporal expressions (e.g. tense, aspect, temporal adverbials)
with the aim of proposing semantic constraints imposed by temporal expressions
on anaphora resolution. Prior research on temporality and discourse dynamics
is not required.

The appointment will be for two years, starting October 1, 2013, with the
possibility of renewal for four more years thereafter (until 2019). Applicants
must have completed their PhD degrees by the time of the appointment. The
department welcomes international applications.

Applications should be sent in pdf format via email (subject line “Job
application – Post Doc”) to: Daniel Altshuler at the application email address
below. Dossiers should include a CV, one representative publication, and a
short letter summarizing: (a) your research activity and (b) your interest in
context dependence of temporal expressions. Candidates should also arrange for
three letters of reference to be sent directly to the email above.
Applications should be received by April 1 for full consideration.

The Heinrich-Heine-University is an equal opportunity employer and encourages
applications from women, minorities and handicapped  applicants, who will be
given preference in case of equal qualifications.

The availability of this position is subject to budgetary approval.
