Description:

Prof. Dr. Judith Tonhauser from the Department of English Linguistics at the
University of Stuttgart invites applications for a three-year postdoctoral
researcher position starting on October 1, 2021 (or soon thereafter). The
position is remunerated according to the TV-L pay scale, specifically at 100%
of E13: https://lbv.landbw.de/-/tabellenentgelt-ab-01-01-2017-neu.

Research in Judith Tonhauser's group focuses on natural language meaning,
especially projective content, questions, discourse and information structure,
and social meaning. There is a strong emphasis on empirical research, with
data being collected in fieldwork, through experiments, and from corpora. The
group has strong ties to other groups in the Institute of Linguistics
(https://www.ling.uni-stuttgart.de/en/) and to groups in the Institute for
Natural Language Processing (https://www.ims.uni-stuttgart.de/en/).

In addition to conducting research in their area of expertise, the
postdoctoral researcher is expected to collaborate in research on projective
content with Judith Tonhauser (for information, see, e.g.,
https://muse.jhu.edu/article/503025 or
https://academic.oup.com/jos/article/35/3/495/5042798).

Different collaborations are imaginable, depending on the researcher's
expertise and interests, including, but not limited to:
- Fieldwork-based investigations of projective content in a language of
interest
- Large-scale investigations of projective content in naturally occurring data
- The development of probabilistic models of projective content
- Investigations into the processing of projective content
- Investigations of the influence of social information on projective content

The teaching load is two courses per semester. Courses in the department are
taught in English.

Students from international backgrounds are encouraged to apply. Knowledge of
German is not required. Support for conference travel and research expenses is
available.

Application requirements: 
- Ph.D. in linguistics or a related field (degree in hand by October 1, 2021
or soon thereafter)

Applications should include the following:
- Cover letter, with the names of 2-3 individuals willing to write a letter of
recommendation
- CV (with teaching experience)
- Research statement (2-3 pages)
- Electronic copies of up to 3 representative publications or thesis chapters
- Copies of degree certificates

Please send your application by June 19, 2021 as a single PDF to the
application email provided below with the subject "Application to postdoctoral
position". 

The University of Stuttgart aims at increasing the number of women in
academia. Therefore, women are particularly encouraged to apply. Applications
of severely disabled candidates with equivalent qualifications will be given
priority.
