Job Title: 2 Doctoral Researchers in (Cognitive) Linguistics, Semiotics, and Gesture Studie
Job Rank: Researcher

Specialty Areas: General Linguistics; Cognitive Linguistics, Semiotics, Gesture Studies, Formal Linguistics


Description:

Chemnitz University of Technology invites applications for two doctoral
positions in the Collaborative Research Centre (CRC 1410) Hybrid Societies –
Humans Interacting with Embodied Technologies. Employment is offered until
December 31, 2023 starting March 1, 2020.

Research Environment and Tasks: Research in the CRC 1410 Hybrid Societies
pertains to the interaction with Embodied Digital Technologies (EDTs) as
artificial bodies moving in real or virtual environments
(www.hybrid-societies.org). 

Project “Intentionality and Joint Attention in Multimodal Interaction”
investigates how intentionality and joint attention are indicated by verbal,
gestural, and other bodily markers. The project aims at basic insights into
the nature of intentionality in multimodal interaction and establishes grounds
for transferring these findings to human-machine interaction. To achieve these
goals, the project combines empirical and experimental studies with methods
and concepts from empirical gesture studies, linguistics, semiotics, and
formal logic.

The successful applicants will be responsible for research assignments in all
theoretical and methodological questions relevant to the project, coordination
of studies as well as preparation and support of publications and talks.
Researchers in the CRC Hybrid Societies contribute to the CRC’s joint research
activities and actively participate, for instance, in research colloquia,
lecture series, and workshops. The doctoral positions include the enrollment
in the CRC's doctoral program.

Requirements:

University degree (Master/Diploma or equivalent) in linguistics, semiotics,
psychology, or a similar background
Expertise in (cognitive) linguistics and gesture studies (expertise in
semiotics, formal linguistics or information science is a plus)
Skills should include the analysis and annotation of verbo-gestural data and
at least one of the following: multimodal corpus-linguistics, formalization,
qualitative and/or ethnographic methods
Fluent in English (both written and spoken)

Application procedure:

Applicants should send their complete application documents including a
motivation letter (1 page) with a brief description of personal qualifications
and research interests, a tabular curriculum vitae, copies of degree
certificates and academic transcripts, a publication list if applicable, and
abstracts of Bachelor- and Master-/diploma theses (1-2 pages) preferably as a
single pdf-file via email (stating: “CRC1410_D01”) to the email address for
applications listed at the bottom of the page. The closing date for
applications is February 12 2020. Please, do not include links in electronic
applications. Please, send copies only. Original documents will not be
returned.
