Description:

The Centre de Lingüística Teòrica (CLT) announces one PhD position in syntax and/or language acquisition.

The successful applicants will carry out research, resulting in a PhD dissertation, within the recently awarded project FFI2014-56968-C4-1-P, La variación en la interfaz léxico-sintaxis, (PIs: Jaume Mateu and Anna Gavarró).

What we offer:

The selected candidate will join our research group, the Centre de Lingüística Teòrica. The Center for Theoretical Linguistics (Centre de Lingüística Teòrica CLT) is a research group which was founded at the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona in the early 1980s. The focus of research at the CLT is grammatical theory in a broad sense of the term, and the linguists who make up our group come from experimental and theoretical research backgrounds in diverse fields including phonology, morphology, lexicology, syntax, and semantics. The goal of the CLT is to contribute to a fuller understanding of how natural languages are structured and how they are processed by human beings. Our research activity basically revolves around the study of the universal properties of language and the identification of patterns of microvariation among natural languages.

See http://filcat.uab.cat/clt/activitats/index.html, for more information about our activities.

The position has a duration of 4 years starting on the academic year 2015-2016. The position requires residence near Barcelona, 37.5 hours/week of research, and must result in a PhD dissertation.

If the candidate obtains the PhD at the beginning of the last year of the scholarship, he/she can be hired as a postdoctorate researcher for the rest of that year, with an stipend of € 19.000 (gross salary) per year.

Requirements:

An MA degree in Linguistics is required. Excellent record in the undergraduate and Master's degrees and affinity with the research lines outlined above is also expected.
