Description:

Professor Maida Kosatica is looking to select a graduate student interested in

in sociolinguistic fieldwork and qualitative methods is essential. Evidence of
an existing research interest in urban space, sustainability, and social
inequalities is highly desirable.

Research Profile: 
 - Proficiency in English and German
 - Skills in semiotic analysis and willingness to develop them
 - Interest in climate change, sustainability, climate refugees, environmental
discourse
 - An explicit commitment to interdisciplinary work that brings together and
builds upon a range of critical theories

To apply for this position, please submit the following materials as a single
PDF to the email address below:
 - a cover letter describing your qualifications and interest in the stated
research themes
 - a Curriculum Vitae (no more than 2 pages)
 - a copy of BA and MA diplomas/degrees and transcripts of records
 - the names and email addresses of two academic referees (no letters needed
now)
