Description:

The Surrey Morphology Group in the School of Literature and Languages,
University of Surrey, is seeking to appoint a post-doctoral Research Fellow
for a three-year Leverhulme Trust funded project “Declining Case: Inflectional
Loss in Progress”. The project investigators are Matthew Baerman and Greville
Corbett (Surrey), and Alexander Krasovitsky (Oxford).

The project will investigate the loss of case marking, a historical process
that has profoundly transformed many of the languages of Europe. The focus
will be on the area between East Serbia and West Bulgaria, where the process
is still ongoing. This will enable us to explore aspects of language change
that cannot be uncovered in the written record. The position advertised
involves conducting fieldwork in Serbia, processing and annotating the
resulting data, and presenting the results of this work at conferences and in
publications, together with the project team.

The successful candidate should have experience in language description, and
the elicitation and analysis of spoken language data, and be able to conduct
fieldwork in Serbia, which will require a command of the spoken language.
Candidates must have the ability to work independently while functioning as
part of a research team. The start date for the position is 01 March 2021.

Information about the Surrey Morphology Group and their current research
projects is available at www.smg.surrey.ac.uk.

Applications should be submitted using the online form at the application
website. Informal enquiries may be made to Dr Matthew Baerman
(m.baerman at surrey.ac.uk) or Dr Alexander Krasovitsky
(alexander.krasovitsky at mod-langs.ox.ac.uk).

Please note, it is University Policy to offer a starting salary equivalent to
Level 3.6 (£31,866) to successful applicants who have been awarded, but are
yet to receive, their PhD certificate.  Once the original PhD certificate has
been submitted to the local HR Department, the salary will be increased to
Level 4.1 (£32,817).
