 Institution/Organization: University of Geneva 
Department:  

Level: PhD 

Duties: Research
 
Specialty Areas: Syntax 
Syntax-Semantics-Lexicon Interfaces 
Required Language(s): English (eng)
                      French (fra) 

Description:

Description: A doctoral position in linguistics is available at the University
of Geneva for a dedicated and talented young researcher who will be
participating in the project ‘Selection at the interfaces’ (PI: Tabea Ihsane)
funded by the Swiss National Science Foundation. The aim of the project is to
examine nominal and clausal complements in order to determine (i) their
structure (syntax), (ii) the meaningful link between these constituents and
their structural environment (semantics) and (iii) what is encoded in the
lexical items involved (lexicon).

The doctoral student will investigate nominals, and collaborate with a
post-doctoral fellow working on clauses. His/her work will be supervised by
Tabea Ihsane and Genoveva Puskás.

Specifications: Applicants must have an MA (or equivalent degree) in
linguistics or in English (with a specialisation in linguistics). Advanced
skills in English are required. Applicants are expected to have their research
interests in comparative syntax, and in the interfaces. Preference will be
given to candidates whose research focuses on the syntax-semantics-lexicon
interfaces in the framework of Generative Grammar, and who work primarily on
French and/or English.

Duties: Doctoral research on nominal complements. Collaborate with the team
involved in the project ‘Selection at the interfaces’.

Terms of employment: Three-year contract. Salary: 42’000 CHF (ca. 33'600 EUR /
28’700 GBP) before taxes in the first year, 45’000 CHF in the second year and
48’000 CHF in the third year.

Application procedure: Candidates should send a letter of motivation
explaining how their research interests fit the project, a letter of
recommendation, a curriculum vitae with contact and personal details, and a
copy of their MA certificate.

Starting date: 1 January 2014
 

Application Deadline: 31-Aug-2013
