- Have an MA in English linguistics or equivalent, with distinction
- Have some experience in experimental work
- Have some basic knowledge of statistics
- Have some background in phonology and morphology
- Are willing to develop their PhD project within the context of the Research Unit.

The job offers an excellent, interdisciplinary work environment and support both at the University of Trier and within the Research Unit.
