Job Title: Postdoctoral Researcher in Linguistics

Description:

The postdoctoral position is funded through a project in Linguistics entitled "Quantity superlatives across languages", awarded by the Swedish Research Council to docent Elizabeth Coppock (project number 2015-01404). The project will investigate cross-linguistic diversity in how quantity superlatives (e.g. "most", "the most") are used and interpreted, with particular emphasis on how definiteness affects interpretation, through study of a broad sample of languages. The full project description is available at http://eecoppock.info/vr-project-description.pdf.

Duties will include, in collaboration with the rest of the research team: project planning, development of a methodology for collecting data including stimulus materials, data collection, and publication of results along with analysis of theoretical consequences for typology and formal semantics.

See the job announcement at the application website below for further information regarding the application process.

The deadline for applications is February 17th, 2016, 23:59 Central European Time (CET).
