From: Eva Zimmermann [Eva.Zimmermann at uni-leipzig.de]
Subject: Phonology: PhD, Universität Leipzig, Germany

 Institution/Organization: Universität Leipzig 
Department: Linguistics 
Web Address: https://www.uni-leipzig.de/en/university/working-at-leipzig-university/job-opportunities/ 

Level: PhD 

Duties: Research
 
Specialty Areas: Phonology 
 

Description:

The University of Leipzig, Germany, offers full funding for 3 PhD candidates
within the Emmy Noether Junior Research Group “Grammatical Strength in
Prosodic Morphology: Typology and Theory”, funded by the Deutsche
Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG). 

Each research assistant (PhD) position is funded for 3 years, with social
benefits (payscale: 0.65 TVL-E13).

The Emmy Noether Junior Research Group “Grammatical Strength in Prosodic
Morphology: Typology and Theory” investigates the hypothesis that grammar is
sensitive to gradient distinctions and not based on categorical linguistic
elements. Different strength-based phenomena in phonology will be
investigated: 1) competition in lexical accent systems; 2) under- and
overapplication in tonal morphology (empirical focus: Otomanguean); and 3)
morphologically distinct foot templates (empirical focus: Germanic).

The PhD students will have the option to be associated with the graduate
program “Interaction of Grammatical Building Blocks” at Leipzig University and
profit from its course-work (with courses taught by Leipzig faculty and by
internationally renowned guest scholars from elsewhere).

Starting date: August 01, 2019

Tasks:
- Empirical investigation of typological data on grammatical strength in
prosodic morphology (focus on lexical accent systems, tonal morphology and
template morphology)
- Theoretical analyses of grammatical strength phenomena in theoretical
phonology and morphology

Qualification:
- Master’s degree in linguistics or related fields
- Interest in theoretical phonology and typology

Please send your application (in German or English), with the usual documents
(including a statement of motivation and two work samples), quoting reference
