Description:

The School of Languages and Cultures is seeking to appoint a Research
Associate to take part in a three-year project. It is funded by the UK’s Arts
and Humanities Research Council and will start on 1 June 2020. 

The project, entitled "Feast and Famine: Confronting Overabundance and
Defectivity in Language", looks at non-canonical inflectional morphology in
morphologically complex languages of central and eastern Europe. It includes
eight institutions across four countries: the UK, the Czech Republic, Croatia
and Estonia, and will be led by Professor Neil Bermel (University of
Sheffield) in collaboration with Professor Dunstan Brown (University of York).

It represents an excellent opportunity for a suitably trained linguist or
psychologist to investigate a project of her/his own design, based on data
from a language of this region, while also working as part of a collegial
larger team seeking to shed light on these phenomena. We’re looking to appoint
someone who has:

- A PhD in linguistics, psycholinguistics, psychology of language, cognitive
science or a related relevant field (or have equivalent experience);
- A research interest in one or more languages from the central and east
European area (Slavonic, Baltic or Finno-Ugric);
- A proven track record in experimental research on languages.

You will have the opportunity to define and carry out your own investigation
into one of the project’s experimental research questions. These concern how
speakers produce material that falls into overabundant and defective
paradigmatic slots and how they react to such material. 

For more information about the project, please see the announcement at
