University or Organization: Leibniz-Zentrum Allgemeine Sprachwissenschaft (ZAS) 
Department: Area IV: Semantics & Pragmatics
Job Location: Berlin, Germany 
Web Address: http://www.zas.gwz-berlin.de/index.html
Job Title: Postdoctoral Researcher
Job Rank: Post Doc

Specialty Areas: Pragmatics; Semantics 


Description:

The Leibniz-Center General Linguistics (ZAS) invites applications for a
full-time early-career post-doctoral research position in semantics/pragmatics
with a starting date between June and October 2017. The appointment is for a
period of one year.

The ZAS is a research institute in the Leibniz Society. Its four main
divisions currently focus on the general research program 'Embedding, linkage
and constituent boundaries in speech, grammar and discourse'. The opening is
in area IV, "Semantics and Pragmatics", but ZAS also has active research
groups in language acquisition, phonetics, and syntax that are open for
collaboration.  Currently about 15 researchers work in the Semantics and
Pragmatics group. The ZAS offers in-house experimental facilities for acoustic
phonetics, motion capture, eye-tracking (Tobii T60), and uses the software R
for data analysis.

The duties of the position are primarily research oriented which includes some
administration. Some time can be set aside for the acquisition of external
funding. In addition, the appointment carries a teaching load of one class (90
min./week) per year that can be held at any university in the Berlin area. The
position is remunerated according to E13 of the German TVOeD pay-scale. 
Limited support for conference travel, experimental work and/or linguistic
fieldwork is available.

Applicants must have defended their Ph.D by the time of the appointment. The
Ph.D. completion should be in or after 2016 (except for documented cases of
forced interruptions of research work, e.g. for family or medical reasons).
Applicants are expected to have a strong background in theoretical linguistics
(specifically semantics and pragmatics) and a proven research experience and
an active research agenda semantics/pragmatics. Special consideration will be
given to applicants whose research  integrates well with the existing
strengths of the ZAS and its core research program, or complements it in an
interesting way.

Applications must be submitted via electronic mail and include the following
four items (1, 2 and 3 in PDF format): 1) a letter of intent specifying
research experience and plans in detail; 2) the curriculum vitae including a
complete list of publications; 3) electronic copies of up to three
representative publications; and 4) the names and email addresses of at least
two scholars to be contacted for letters of recommendation.
