Description:

The Research group on Languages and Language Acquisition at Balearic Islands
University invites applications for one (1) three-year scholarship for a PhD
student working in the general field of Language and Linguistics, starting as
early as September 2016.

The grant is funded by Marie Curie ITN Early Stage Researcher project to Dr
Pedro Guijarro Fuentes and is intended to support a PhD student in
successfully developing an innovative and interdisciplinary research project
in “Language Development and cross-linguistic language variation”. Thus, it is
intended for advanced undergraduate students or masters students who will
directly enroll in a PhD program (three-year fellowship). 

The scholarship holder can also benefit from other courses offered by the UIB
Postgraduate Centre, which focus on soft skills (e.g. time management, project
management) and expert technical competences (e.g. presentation skills,
statistics). In addition, the Research Consortium also supports participation
in summer schools, conferences and secondment visits to international partner
institutions. For a total of up to 36 months, the scholarship holder will
receive a gross salary before taxes of 2740 EUR per month, plus a
supplementary family allowance, if applicable, and may apply on an occasional
basis for travel costs and participation at international conferences.

Requirements:

Essential:

The successful candidate is expected to hold a good first BA degree and/or a
Master’s degree (or equivalent) in Linguistics, Psycholinguistics, or
Cognitive Science (or related discipline) and to have a research focus in the
field of linguistics, applied linguistics, and cognition, broadly construed.
Excellent spoken and written English language skills are essential. 

Desirable:

The successful candidate ideally needs to have documented research activities,
such as presentations/publications and experience of advanced statistical
analyses. Note that some knowledge of Spanish is preferable to attend some PhD
courses.

How to Apply:

Interested candidates should send their applications electronically,
including:

- Their BA’s degree or equivalent (scan);
- Their Master’s degree or equivalent (scan);
- A curriculum vitae (CV), including the names and email addresses of at least
two senior scholars who are willing to provide letters of reference;
- A brief sketch of the planned dissertation project (no more than 1 page);
- A detailed prospectus for their dissertation project (no more than 5 pages);
- An accompanying letter outlining their motivation for applying for the
Research Consortium, Project 1.

Application Deadline: 21-Mar-2016
