The Department of Comparative Linguistics at the University of Zurich invites

origins of linguistic diversity that developed after the settlement of the
Americas out of Asia. 

The ideal candidate has an MA in linguistics, with a solid background in
historical linguistics and typology as well as training, or at least a strong
interest in, quantitative analysis. He or she is committed to work in a highly
interdisciplinary and dynamic team of twelve researchers and further
international collaborators.

- A sample of their writing (thesis chapter, article), 
- Names of 2-3 persons willing to provide a letter of reference, and 
- A cover letter explaining their expertise and interest in the project. 

We strongly aim at gender balance and particularly encourage women to apply.
