From: Peter Hallman [peter.hallman at univie.ac.at]
Subject: Syntax: Post Doc, University of Vienna, Austria

 
University or Organization: University of Vienna 
Department: Department of Linguistics
Job Location: Vienna, Austria 
Web Address: http://linguistik.univie.ac.at
Job Title: Post Doc in Syntax
Job Rank: Post Doc

Specialty Areas: Syntax 


Description:

Applications are invited for a one-year post-doctoral position in syntax at
the University of Vienna, Austria. The appointment is full time and begins
July 1, 2017.

The position is part of a research project that investigates parallels between
the double object alternation (I gave Mary the keys - I gave the keys to Mary)
and the cross linguistic dichotomy between languages that express possession
with a transitive verb (Mary has the keys) and those that express it with a
preposition (to Mary are the keys). The candidate will work in this area and
will ideally have some background in it, in argument structure, or in a
language with prepositional possessive constructions.

The position requires a PhD in theoretical linguistics, which must be in hand
at the start date, and the candidate must work full time in Vienna. Non-EU
citizens require a Austrian residence permit.

Applications must be submitted by April 30, 2017, and should include:
- a cover letter detailing any relevant qualifications, particularly any prior
work in the area of the research project (either possession and/or double
object constructions specifically or argument structure, case theory, scope
configurations or other potentially related issues in general)
- a curriculum vitae
- one sample research paper
- names and contact information of two potential referees.

Please send application materials by April 30 as an email attachment to Peter
Hallman at peter.hallman at univie.ac.at, to whom any questions should also be
directed.



Application Deadline: 30-Apr-2017
