Description:

Vacancy doctoral researcher 

The Ghent University Research Centre MULTIPLES seeks to recruit a PhD
candidate to work on a project titled ''Discrimination-based verbal aggression
in interpreter-mediated public service provision in Flanders''. 

The research is situated in the domain of Interpreting Studies. It
investigates how public service interpreters in Flanders handle
discrimination-based verbal aggressions in various phases of the assignment
(i.e. before, during and after the interpreted encounter). The research
particularly focuses on (1) the discursive level of the interpreted encounter
(e.g. do interpreters use mitigating / reinforcing strategies when confronted
with verbal aggressions between participants), (2) the interactional level
(e.g. do meta-comments or reported speech use modify participation frameworks)
and (3) the professional identity (i.e. occupational well-being, reflections
on codes of conduct, stances on the own agency, etc.). Data will be collected
using qualitative research methods.

- Preparing individual and joint publications for national and international

- Ability to work independently on your research as well as to work in a team
