The Collaborative Research Center (CRC or in German SFB) 1412 'Register:
Language Users' Knowledge of Situational-Functional Variation'
(http://sfb1412.hu-berlin.de) is a joint research project of the
Humboldt-University Berlin (HU) and the Leibniz-Centre General Linguistics
(ZAS). There are 17 sub-projects investigating intra-speaker variation driven
by situational and functional factors at all levels of language, and focusing
on the language user's register knowledge and its relation to other types of
linguistic knowledge. The CRC has been funded by the German Research Council
DFG since 01.01.2020.

Within the Integrated Graduate School, we offer fellowships for Postgraduate
Researchers who want to pursue or are already pursuing a Ph.D. relating to the
research program of the CRC, or want to explore topics relating to the CRC
within their Ph.D. research. The Integrated Graduate School serves the
fellows, the Ph.D. students, working the CRC and also early career postdocs in
the CRC. The leaders of the CRC Integrated Graduate School are Uli Sauerland
(ZAS) and Richard Waltereit (HU). The coordinator is Anne Temme (HU).

We offer fellowships for up to one year with an open starting date within the
year 2021. Remuneration is EUR 1,365 per month tax-free, and the fellows will
need to purchase health insurance.

**The fellowship can be used to carry out a self-contained research project on
the topic of the CRC, but the prospective fellow must identify a research
project in the CRC that they primarily will connect to and contact a PI of
that project at the time of application.**

The fellows are furthermore expected to participate in the training
opportunities of the Graduate School, in particular methods schools,
mentoring, and peer-to-peer networking events.

Applicants who are not yet registered in a Ph.D. program must have completed
their M.A. by the planned start date. Applicants should name other research
qualifications relevant to the planned research. The Integrated Graduate
School aims to strengthen the diversity of the CRC and so members of groups
traditionally underrepresented in German academic leadership positions are
especially encouraged to apply. Note that previous recipients of CRC-1412
fellowships are **not** eligible for this stipend.

Applications must be submitted via e-mail (anne.temme at hu-berlin.de) and
include the following items, preferably in a single PDF:
- A letter of intent stating the following
a) nature of your interest in the fellowship and your research goals for the
duration of the fellowship
b) your contribution to the diversity goal of the CRC if any
c) the names and e-mail addresses of at least two scholars to be contacted for
letters of recommendation.
d) the preferred period of the stipend: desired starting date (in 2021),
length: 1 year max.
- A CV including a complete list of qualifications and publications;
- Electronic copies of up to two representative writing samples;
- Any relevant transcripts and degree certificates in electronic form

The submission deadline is July 12, 2021
