scientific cooperation both within the University of Zurich and with national
and international partners. The University of Zurich offers a rich
interdisciplinary environment for the language sciences. Successful candidates
will also have a proven track record in application for third party funding.

non-German speaking candidates are expected to acquire a working knowledge of
German within the first two years of appointment. The University of Zurich is
an equal opportunities employer and in particular strives to increase the
percentage of women in leading positions. Therefore, qualified female
researchers are encouraged to apply.
