Description:

Doctoral fellow in Germanic Linguistics at Ghent University, project “Language
productivity at work”
In the framework of an interdisciplinary project on productivity in syntax, we
are currently hiring several full-time doctoral fellows (four years), among
which one Master in linguistics (or an equivalent degree), for a PhD on dative
subject constructions in Icelandic, German and Dutch.

The candidates are expected to have a great interest in linguistic research,
as evidenced in, preferably, a Master paper in the area of linguistics with a
focus on at least one of the languages involved (i.e. Icelandic, German and
Dutch). Experience in corpus linguistics and some familiarity with
quantitative methods are certainly a plus. Since the successful candidate will
be working in a team on a common topic, team-playership and collaborative
skills are particularly welcome. In addition, all candidates should have an
excellent knowledge of English.

More information about this Phd can be found at
http://www.languageproductivity.ugent.be/vacancies/

Ghent University offers a four-year contract starting on 1 October 2019. In
this time a PhD dissertation has to be completed. Successful candidates will
be employed as research staff member (with regular health insurance, etc.).
Information about salary and employee benefits for incoming international
staff can be found at 
http://www.languageproductivity.ugent.be/vacancies/

How to apply ?
The deadline for applications is 8 May 2019. Applications should be submitted
to languageproductivity at ugent.be and should consist of: a detailed CV,
including degree grades and title of Master Thesis, and a letter of motivation
in English. Please mention PhD4 in the subject field.
More information about the project and each of the profiles we are looking for
can be found at www.languageproductivity.ugent.be. 

Contact one of the project supervisors for more information (see

Shortlisted candidates will be interviewed on the 22nd or the 27th of May.
They will be notified by the 15th of May at the latest.
