University or Organization: ZAS 
Job Location: Berlin, Germany 
Job Title: Formal Semantics
Job Rank: Post Doc

Specialty Areas: Semantics 


Description:

The Leibniz-Centre General Linguistics (ZAS, www.leibniz-zas.de) invites
applications for an early-career post-doctoral research position in formal
semantics with a starting date of September 1, 2020. The appointment is until
the December 31, 2023.   The position is only at 75% of full-time, but an
simultaneous application for a 25% of full-time position within the ERC funded
project "LeibnizDream" is possible (The ERC funding is approved, but still
subject to final availability).

The ZAS is a university-independent research institute in Berlin, Germany and
a member of the Leibniz Association.  The opening is in area IV "Semantics and
Pragmatics".  The ZAS is a leading international center for research in
semantics and pragmatics, with an active program of workshops and colloquia,
facilities for experimental research, and ample opportunities for
collaboration.  Additional facilities for experimental research are being
set-up for the ERC project.

The duties of the position are primarily research oriented but include some
administration. Some time can also be set aside for the acquisition of
external funding. In addition, the appointee is encouraged, but not obligated
to teach one class (90 min./week) per year that can be held at any university
in the Berlin area. The position is remunerated according to E13 of the German
TVOeD pay-scale at either 75% or 100%. Limited support for equipment,
conference travel, experimental work and/or linguistic fieldwork is available.

For the 75% position, applicants must have defended their Ph.D by the time of
the appointment. The applicants research accomplishments are expected to be
proportional with the time after Ph.D. completion, so applicants should
indicate forced interruptions of research work, e.g. for family or medical
reasons. Applicants are expected to have a strong background in theoretical
linguistics (specifically semantics and pragmatics) and a proven research
experience and an active research agenda in theoretical semantics. Applicants
are asked to formulate a research plan as part of the application. Special
consideration will be given to applicants whose research integrates well with
the existing strengths of the ZAS and its core research program, or
complements it in an interesting way.  For the additional 25% position,
applicants should in addition have a background in experimental linguistic
research, ideally language acquisition research and/or in crosslinguistic
research.  ZAS aims to strengthen the diversity of its staff and so members of
groups traditionally underrepresented in German academic leadership positions
are especially encouraged to apply.

Applications must be submitted via electronic mail and include the following
four items (1, 2 and 3 in PDF format, ideally in one PDF file): 1) a letter of
intent specifying research experience and plans for the 75% in detail, as well
as the starting date and the contribution to staff diversity (if any); 2) the
curriculum vitae including a complete list of publications; 3) electronic
copies of up to three representative publications; and 4) the names and email
addresses of at least two scholars to be contacted for letters of
recommendation.  Applicants wishing for secure communication with PGP can
contact us for the necessary encryption key.
