Job Location: Würzburg, Bavaria, Germany

Specialty Areas: Applied Linguistics; Computational Linguistics; Sociolinguistics; Text/Corpus Linguistics; World Englishes

Required Language(s): English (eng)

Description:

For the research project ‘Megacities – living environments of the future’,
funded by the VolkswagenStiftung, the Chair of English Linguistics at the
Julius-Maximilians-Universität Würzburg, invites applications for a Research
Position (Postdoc/Linguistics) starting from 1 November 2021. The position is
full time (but may be split into two part-time positions). The contract will
be for a fixed term of five years. Remuneration will be based on the
Tarifvertrag für den öffentlichen Dienst der Länder (Collective Agreement for
the Public Service of German Federal States, TV-L).

For the development of the field of ‘geolingual studies’ (GLS) as a new focus
at the Chair of English Linguistics in cooperation with the German Aerospace
Centre (DLR - Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt), we are looking for a
postdoctoral researcher specialising in either English linguistics (World
Englishes/corpus linguistics), computational linguistics or digital
humanities.

Geolingual studies: 
This innovative area of research combines methods from geography (remote
sensing), linguistics and digital humanities to analyse the complex interplay
between physical space and sociocultural space. For this, the description of
the physical environment is complemented by the linguistic assessment of
social networks, identity constructions, discourses and the perception of
space by the inhabitants in a global as well as culture specific context.

Megacities as living environments of the future: 
In the age of globalisation and urbanisation, present-day socio-cultural
trends become particularly apparent in fast-changing urban spaces.
Characterised by high growth rates, megacities bear witness to physical
expansion and morphological restructuring, to the inflow of high and low
educated populations as well as to global determinants and local influences.
GLS advances the investigation of urban spaces by assessing their dynamics and
contributes, in the long run, to the solution of pressing societal questions.
