Description:
The Collaborative Research Centre CRC 1287 “Limits of Variability in Language:
Cognitive, Computational, and Grammatical Aspects” in Potsdam, Germany,
invites applications for short-term fellowships available in 2023.

The linguistic system exhibits a high degree of variability at all levels of
linguistic description. This variability in language can be characterised as a
range of different possible linguistic behaviours that are available to an
individual language user, a group of language users, or in specific languages.
The variability is limited by the constraints of the underlying linguistic
system and shaped by cognitive and social or communicative factors. This
variability is not just reducible to random noise but provides an important
source of information to explain and predict linguistic behaviour. By
modelling the factors influencing linguistic behaviours, the CRC (21 PIs in 13
scientific projects, one transfer project, and three service projects)
contributes to a better understanding of the underlying mental representations
and processing architectures in individual language users, as well as of the
grammatical options available in individual languages and specific linguistic
varieties, and options shared by particular subgroups of languages users.

The CRC provides a fantastic research infrastructure including a large
interdisciplinary network of researchers and its own graduate school (the MGK
- Integrated Research Training Group). We are offering several three- to
four-month fellowships to PhD candidates from non-German universities who
would like to carry out a collaborative research project within one of the
projects of the CRC. Please see the available projects here:
https://www.sfb1287.uni-potsdam.de/en/overview/.

The monthly fellowship is tax exempt and covers a basic amount (1365 EUR) plus
direct costs (103 EUR) plus 400 EUR per child, if applicable. Holders of the
grant need to cover health insurance on their own.

The University of Potsdam values the diversity of its members and pursues the
goals of equal opportunities regardless of gender, nationality, ethnic and
social origin, religion/belief, disability, age, sexual orientation or
identity. In the case of equal suitability, women in accordance with Section 7
(4) BbgHG and people with a severe disability will be given preferential
consideration.

The fellowships require completed academic studies at an institute of higher
learning (Master’s degree or equivalent) and enrolment in a PhD programme.
Additionally, applicants are required to establish contact with the principal
investigators of the project of interest before submitting the application in
order to discuss the possibility of collaboration and the details of the
proposed research project. 

Please send your application as a single PDF file to
mgk-sfb1287 at uni-potsdam.de, including: 
 - a statement of research interests and motivation 
 - a full CV
 - a short research proposal for the duration of the fellowship 
 - the names and e-mail addresses of at least two referees 
 - academic transcripts
 - list of publications/talks/presentations 
 - a web-link to a copy of the Master's thesis 

Additionally, the research proposal should have a title and state which
project within the CRC the short-term researcher wants to be affiliated with
(e.g., “B01”).

The deadline for the application for a fellowship in 2022 is September 30,
2022. Late applications may be considered if positions are unfilled.
