Description:

The Max Planck Institute for the Science of Human History in Jena (Germany) is
offering a full-time position for a doctoral researcher in the field of
phylolinguistics. The position, which is tied to the eurasia3angle research
group is for up to 4 years, beginning September 1st, 2016.

In addition to an interest in applying computational phylogenetic methods to
languages, candidates should have knowledge of one or more Transeurasian
languages and ideally, also a sufficient command of Russian to access grammars
and language descriptions. Given the specialization already present in our
team, a researcher with Tungusic or Mongolic knowledge would be most
compatible.

robbeets at shh.mpg.de by May 1st, 2016.

(i) A letter of motivation detailing why you are interested and how you meet
the qualifications (max. 500 words)

project (max. 1000 words, excluding references) 
(iii) A copy of your MA dissertation if already available
(iv) A curriculum vitae indicating educational background, previous research
experience and publication history.
(v) Contact information for three references
