Linguistics/Computational Linguistics (federal German pay scale TV-L E13 65%).
The position is to be filled as soon as possible.

Possible topics for a PhD thesis include the corpus-based analysis of inherent

inherent polysemy and quantification, and the frame-semantic modeling and
implementation of coercion and copredication phenomena.

Job requirements and qualifications:
