University or Organization: University of Konstanz 
Department: Cluster of Excellence "The Politics of Inequality"
Job Location: Konstanz, Germany 
Web Address: https://www.exc.uni-konstanz.de/en/inequality/
Job Title: Senior Fellowships
Job Rank: Researcher

Specialty Areas: Computational Linguistics; General Linguistics 


Description:

The Cluster of Excellence “The Politics of Inequality” involves researchers
from political science, sociology, economy, linguistics, psychology and
education studies. Within linguistics we are looking at the role of language
(primarily argumentation and framing) in political discourse and are studying
language acquisition and unequal access to information in migrant or generally
underprivileged communities.

Job Posting:
The University of Konstanz is a University of Excellence in Germany: It was
successful in all three funding lines of the German Excellence Initiative and
is currently successful in both funding lines of its follow-up competition,
the Excellence Strategy.

“The Politics of Inequality” is a Cluster of Excellence at the University of
Konstanz within the framework of the Excellence Strategy of the German federal
and state governments. The Cluster’s researchers investigate inequality in
areas such as education, employment and political rights. They study how
people perceive these inequalities, how they lead to collective mobilization,
and how political actors respond to them.

The Cluster invites applications for Senior Fellowships for a duration of 2 to
6 months each. Remuneration will take the form of a monthly flat rate of
6,000.00 Euros to account for accommodation and living expenses, as well as a
further monthly sum of 1,500.00 Euros as a research allowance to finance
conference travels and research assistants as well as other aspects of Senior
Fellows’ research projects. Relocation expenses to and from Konstanz will be
covered by the Cluster (some limitations apply).

Applications are open to researchers from outside the University of Konstanz
with an established track record and international visibility, as well as a
keen interest in the Cluster’s concepts and lines of research.

We are looking for scholars with an established track record in inequality
research broadly defined and in fields directly related to the Cluster’s
research agenda, though not necessarily in disciplines already represented at
the Cluster. Senior Fellows will become members of the Cluster and will
actively participate in Cluster activities.

To apply, please submit the following documents:
- A research proposal that contributes to the research agenda of the Cluster,
investigating core aspects of the political dimension of inequality. It should
not exceed four pages in length, and should also include the duration and the
schedule of the project.
- Curriculum vitae and a list of publications

Online Application Form:
Please arrange your application documents into a single PDF file. To submit

Application deadline: 13 November 2019, 12:00 CET
