Description:

The Collaborative Research Centre CRC 1252 “Prominence in Language” in
Cologne, Germany, announces short-term Junior fellowships available between
April and December 2023 for a duration of 3 to 6 months.  Eligible are
doctoral students and researchers up to 5 years after their PhD. The CRC will
cover 1.800 Euro per month for travel, accommodation and personal allowance.

In the Collaborative Research Centre “Prominence in Language” (CRC 1252,
Sonderforschungsbereich (SFB 1252)) funded by the The Deutsche
Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG, German Research Foundation) researchers from
different fields of linguistics and language studies are collaborating in 20
individual scientific projects. More than 60 researchers investigate how
prominence structures language with respect to prosody (Area A), morphosyntax
and semantics (Area B) as well as text and discourse structure (Area C). The
individual projects work on a large variety of languages from more than a
dozen major language families and pursue various methodological approaches.
Our research on prominence contributes to a better understanding of language
as a system between  communication and cognition. For more information see
https://sfb1252.uni-koeln.de/en/.

The CRC provides an international and highly innovative research environment
and is well connected to other linguistic research entres in Germany and
abroad. Fellows will be offered office space, access to libraries,
administrative support, as well as support in arranging accommodation and
travelling. 

Application procedure:
Applicants must choose a suitable host for the time of the fellowship in
advance. Any PI of a current CRC project is eligible to act as host. We expect
the fellow to be well integrated in the research team of one or more projects.

Please submit a 2-page (maximum) personal statement including an outline of
your research plan for the time of the fellowship. In addition, please provide
your CV and a letter from the PI who is going to host you. All application
documents must be submitted as a single pdf per email to the coordinator of
the CRC, Michael Frotscher (Michael.frotscher at uni-koeln.de) The application
deadline is January 15, 2023 and applicants will be notified by February 2023.
Applications are evaluated and ranked by the steering committee of the CRC
with respect to the following criteria: scientific quality, thematic matching
of the proposal to the host project as well as diversity.
 

Application Deadline: 15-Jan-2023
