Description:

The Department of German Philology of the University of Göttingen offers a
position at the Division of Linguistics as a Research Associate (PhD
position).

The position is to be filled for a period of 36 months, starting on 1 April

The position is part of the research project “(A)symmetries and Movement in
Spoken and Sign Languages”, which is funded by the German Science Foundation
(DFG) and coordinated by Seid Tvica, Hedde Zeijlstra, and Markus Steinbach.
Mainly, the candidate will be responsible for the empirical and theoretical
investigation of syntactic asymmetries in sign languages, and how they differ
from corresponding asymmetries attested for spoken languages. 

Applicants are expected to have a MA degree in linguistics or a related field
with a strong background in theoretical syntax and sign language linguistics.
They are also expected to conduct empirical research on sign language syntax
and to be open to modern generative theories. Other requirements include the
capability to work in a team and a commitment to international collaborations.

The University of Göttingen is an equal opportunities employer and places
particular emphasis on fostering career opportunities for women. Qualified
women are therefore strongly encouraged to apply in fields in which they are
under-represented. The university is committed to being a family-friendly
institution and supports their employees in balancing work and family life.
The mission of the University is to employ a greater number of severely
disabled persons. Applications from severely disabled persons with equivalent
qualifications will be given preference.
