Job Rank: Post Doc; Researcher

Specialty Areas: General Linguistics; Neurolinguistics; Psycholinguistics 


Description:

Postdoctoral Researcher in Olfactory Language and Cognition. 
 
Philosophers, biologists and anthropologists alike have claimed that humans
are limited in their sense of olfaction: olfactory experiences seem to be
“ineffable”, difficult or even impossible to put into words. But there is
recent evidence from non-Western societies and expert populations that
challenges this view. Within this project, a team of researchers will
investigate olfactory language and cognition in different cultural settings,
including small-scale, lesser-known language communities.

You will participate in the project HumanOlfaction at the Intersection of
Language, Culture and Biology funded by a Vici grant from the Netherlands
Organization for Scientific Research (NWO). You will do field work in a
non-Indo-European language in order to investigate both olfactory language and
cognition. You will perform linguistic documentation of olfactory language in
a community with potential for lexical elaboration in this domain. You will
also conduct experiments in the field to explore olfactory cognition. You are
expected to be an active member of the project group. You will write
high-impact peer-reviewed journal articles and will also present your results
at conferences and workshops.

You should:
-  Hold a PhD in Linguistics, or equivalent;
-  Have a strong academic record as evidenced by curriculum vitae and
publication record;
-  Have experience with fieldwork in a non-Indo-European language;
-  Have an established field site with potential for olfactory language;
-  Have an excellent command of spoken and written English;
-  Have a strong commitment to linguistic documentation;
-  Have a strong commitment to interdisciplinary research;
-  Have experience with organizing workshops and/or conferences;
-  Have experience with coordinating research projects;
-  Have experience with supervising students;
-  Have the ability to work in a team;
-  Have knowledge of experimental and elicitation methods (desirable, but not
necessary).

We offer you:
-  Employment: 0,8 - 1,0 fte;
-  A maximum gross monthly salary of € 4,418 based on a 38-hour working week
(salary scale 11);
-  In addition to the salary: an 8% holiday allowance and an 8.3% end-of-year
bonus;
-  The starting salary will depend on qualifications and experience;
-  Duration of the contract: one year with the possibility of extension by 1
year;
-  You will be classified as a Postdoctoral Researcher (Onderzoeker 3) in the
Dutch university job-ranking system (UFO).
