assistants. The principal activity of the postdoctoral researcher will be to
undertake research in one of the work packages described mentioned at the
project homepage (https://uni-tuebingen.de/en/163612).

A solid background, including a PhD in a relevant discipline, in at least one
of the following areas is required:
- Statistical modeling, especially Bayesian approaches
- Historical-comparative linguistics and typology

Experience in both areas would be ideal; otherwise the successful applicant is
expected to actively engage in the collaborative efforts of the project and to
acquire the necessary skills.

The Linguistics Department (http://www.sfs.uni-tuebingen.de/) and the Center
for Advanced Studies "Words, Bones, Genes, Tools"
(http://www.wordsandbones.uni-tuebingen.de/) offer a stimulating
interdisciplinary research environment.

The salary is figured according to the union contract named TV-L, E13,
depending on professional experience.

The period of employment will be for 4 years.

Applications should include:

- An outline of research experience,
- As well as names and addresses of up to three references.

Applications should be sent by email to the application email address below.
The position will be filled as soon as possible. Deadline for applications is
September 30, 2020.

Disabled applicants will be preferred if they have the same qualifications as
non-disabled applicants. The University of Tübingen strives to increase the
proportion of women in research and teaching, and therefore encourages
qualified female scientists to apply.

The contract will be made by the central administration of the university.
