Description:

The Tübingen Collaborative Research Center 833 “Constitution of Meaning” is
looking to fill two PhD positions as part of Project B8 “Position and
Interpretation: Syntactic, Semantic and Information Structural Constraints in
Processing Adjuncts” (PI: Prof. Dr. Britta Stolterfoht). Earliest start date
is August 1, 2017. Funding ends June 30, 2021, payment is according to E
13TV-L, 65%. 

The project investigates adjuncts at the syntax-semantics interface from a
processing perspective. The goal is to establish an elaborate model of adjunct
processing. We will focus on (i) crosslinguistic variation, (ii) semantic
modelling of position-dependent interpretation differences, and (iii) the role
of context in the time course of processing adjuncts. Further information can
be found here:
http://www.sfb833.uni-tuebingen.de/b-bereich-kognition/b8-stolterfoht.html

The ideal candidate has a relevant university degree (e.g., linguistics or
psychology) and a solid background in syntax and semantics. Background in
psycholinguistics as well as a genuine interest in crosslinguistic variation
and in modelling semantic processing will be of advantage. Applicants should
have good organizational skills and be able to work highly independently as
well as in a team. The research center supports PhD students with a structured
program and bi-weekly PhD student colloquia. This job does not have a teaching
requirement but also offers the opportunity to gain teaching experience if
desired. 

Equally qualified applicants with disabilities will be given preference. The
University seeks to raise the number of women in research and teaching and
therefore urges qualified women academics to apply for these positions. 

Applications should send a cover letter, a CV and a research statement as well
as relevant documentation by mail or email in a single PDF file to Prof. Dr.
Britta Stolterfoht, Wilhelmstraße 50, 72074 Tübingen,
britta.stolterfoht at uni-tuebingen.de. The employment will be carried out by the
central administration of the University of Tübingen.
 

Application Deadline: 15-Jun-2017
