as conduct short field trips for answering targeted research questions. S/he
will collaborate with the principal investigator and Prof. Jane Simpson
(Australian National University) in studying complex nominal expressions in
Warlpiri. S/he will conduct collaborative research together with other PhD
candidates and the principal investigator on complex expressions combining
elements of the same syntactic class, cross-linguistically and
cross-categorially.

This PhD project is planned as a Cotutelle programme with dual enrollment at
the University of Mainz and at the Australian National University (Canberra).
The candidate will be employed at Mainz with regular visits to ANU.

entering a doctoral programme) in linguistics or related fields by the end of
February 2019
- Research interests in one or more of the following sub-disciplines:
typology, language documentation, syntax, information structure, Australian
languages
- A keen interest in working on an indigenous Australian language
- A keen interest in conducting corpus-based linguistics as well as field
trips 
- Social skills required for collaborative research with native speakers as
well as within the research unit

Applications from severely disabled persons with equivalent qualifications
will be given preference.
