Job Title: Database for syntactic variation in West Asian Languages
Job Rank: Post Doc

Specialty Areas: Syntax; Text/Corpus Linguistics 


Description:

Postdoctoral Researcher "Development of a database for syntactic variation in
the languages of West Asia"

The LABEX Empirical Foundations of Linguistics (EFL) invites applications for
a full-time, 1-year postdoctoral position within the strand LC3 “Languages,
Dialects and Isoglosses of the Iran-Caucasus-Anatolia-Near-East Area”. 

Location: MII (Iranian and Indian Worlds)

Job description:

West Asia (Anatolia, Caucasus, Iran, Near East) is an area of longstanding
contact between different languages and language families. Spread in vast
overlapping zones, these languages display important dialectal variations. We
aim to develop a geographically referenced database for the languages
investigated within the project. This kind of database is currently used in
typology, but generally in order to capture dialectal variation within a
single language. The database will include typological, genetic and
sociolinguistic information as well as a set of parameters elaborated within
the project. It will be equipped with an online interface for displaying and
inputting data, and a statistical exploration device allowing to highlight
correlations between parameters.

Scientific Environment:

The successful appointee will work in close collaboration with the members of
the LC3 team, composed of linguists working on various languages of the area
and a mapmaker-cartographer. Her/his research will be supervised by Anaid
Donabedian and Pollet Samvelian. The work will involve regular meetings and
will give rise to publications.

Desired Qualifications:

Applicants should possess high proficiency in database design skills, applied
to linguistic data and a good knowledge in statistics. They should also be
familiar softwares used for the management of geographically referenced
linguistic data, like Gabmap.

Application:

Prospective applicants should send:
- A cover letter highlighting the required skills for the job
- A curriculum vitae including publications
- Names of two referents (with email addresses)
- A website address where the publications can be downloaded.

Contacts for application:

Interview: between 15-30 April 2015
Start of work: May 2015
Salary: 2000 to 2400 euros per month (according to the applicant's
experience), net of taxes
