Description:

The Laboratoire d’excellence “Empirical Foundations of Linguistics: data,
methods, models” (Labex EFL)  is a nine-year project, funded by the French
Government (ANR-10-LABX-0083). It gathers 11 research teams (CRLAO, HTL,
Lacito, Lattice, LIPN, Llacan, LLF, LPP-P3, LPP-P5, MII, Sedyl) from 5 members
of Sorbonne Paris Cité University (Université Sorbonne Nouvelle, Université
Paris Diderot, Université Paris Descartes, Université Paris 13 et Institut
National des Langues et Civilisations Orientales), in a partnership with the
French National Center for Scientific Research (CNRS) and the French Research
and Development Institute (IRD).

The aim of the Labex EFL is to promote innovative and interdisciplinary
research within Linguistics and related fields. Specific interest is given to
empirical foundations (corpus analysis and experimental methods) of linguistic
research. 

The EFL project is now launching its 7th call for applications for visiting
professors.

Up to 9 applicants will be selected for the 2019 International Chair 
“Empirical Foundations of Linguistics”.  The selected applicants will join one
of the EFL teams. The visiting professor will be located in Paris in one of
the most active academic communities for linguistics. He/she is expected to
give a series of four lectures presenting innovative research in one of the
fields of the Labex EFL. The selected candidates will be advised with respect
to the organisation of their stay in Paris by a member of the Labex EFL.

The labex EFL seeks applicants in one of the following domains:
- phonetic and phonological complexity
- experimental grammar from a cross-linguistic perspective
- typology and dynamics of linguistic systems
- language representation and processing in a lifespan perspective
- computational semantic analysis
- language resources: lexica, corpora and tools
- empirical methods in linguistics and
- epistemology

Eligible candidates are professors or researchers (tenured or not) affiliated
to a foreign research unit, willing to deliver a two-hour weekly seminar on a
research topic contributing to the EFL project (http://www.labex-efl.com)
within a period of 4 weeks during the year 2019. The seminars can be given in
french or in english. They will be recorded and broadcast on the Labex EFL
website.

The Labex will cover travel expenses (economic class) and provide a fixed
allowance for the participation of the professors in the International Chair.

Applications, written either in french or english, should include:
- A curriculum vitae with a list of publications
- A one-page summary with detail of the four intended seminars and a general
title for the entire course.
- The dates of availability and intended length of stay in Paris (not less
than 4 weeks).
- The name of the research unit in the Labex EFL that will host the professor
and the name of the professor/researcher who will be his/her correspondent in
the host research unit.

Deadline for applications: June 10th, 2018 (midnight, Paris time)

EFL  christel.preterre at univ-paris3.fr

Applications will be examined by the Labex EFL management team and the head of
the training programme. Final decisions will be made by the scientific council
in July 2018, according to the following criteria:
- academic excellence of the candidate
