Description:

11 doctoral positions available

The DFG-funded CRC in Information Density and Linguistic Encoding (SFB 1102)
is pleased to invite applications for a range of post-doctoral and doctoral
positions. The overarching research question the CRC addresses is to what
extent Information Theory can contribute to a unifying model of language use,
variation and change. Against this background, language is viewed from the
perspective of (bounded) rational communication, according to which
interlocutors strive to modulate the encoding of their messages so as to (i)
successfully convey their intended message, and (ii) optimize their cognitive
effort.

The CRC includes 17 research projects drawing upon
psycholinguistics/neurolinguistics, computational linguistics, diachronic
sociolinguistics, phonetics, discourse and contrastive linguistics and
translatology with their respective empirical methods, ranging from
computational language modeling to experimental and corpus-based methods. We
are seeking to recruit 3 post-doctoral and 11 doctoral students.

Dates:
Starting date: from September 1, 2022
Application deadline: June 20, 2022
Interviews:  starting July 1

Note that we are happy to receive applications by people who have not yet
finished their MA/MSc by the time of application but will have submitted their
thesis by the starting date or shortly thereafter. Applicants are requested to
submit their application, together with an academic CV, a list of academic
publications, copies of academic degree certificates and two potential
references.

For detailed project descriptions and requirements see:
https://sfb1102.uni-saarland.de/

All applications must be sent to sfb1102 at uni-saarland.de with the subject “Job
application CRC 1102”. Please indicate which project(s) you wish to apply to
by stating the project number(s). We also reserve the right to forward
applications to other projects if suitable.

Applications received by June 20 will be given full consideration, while those
applications received after June 20 will be considered until positions are
filled.
 

Application Deadline: 20-Jun-2022
