To apply:
The ideal candidate has a strong background in empirical methods for
linguistic analysis and an interest in exploring language change processes,
both experimentally and theoretically. The postdoctoral researcher should have
expertise in empirical sociolinguistic research, ideally in the context of
Northern British Englishes. They hold a PhD in Variationist Sociolinguistics,
Sociophonetics or Computational Linguistics with a good publication record.
Expertise in quantitative methods and managing research grants are required,
together with experience in conducting field research. Familiarity with
computer programming is desirable. No knowledge of German is required.
