Description:

The Department of Modern Languages of Goethe University Frankfurt am Main has
an opening for 1 position as Doctoral Researcher (E13 TV-GU, 65%-part-time)
funded for 12 months, with a possible an extension by another 6 months. The
salary grade is based on the job characteristics of the collective agreement

This position is part of the Research Training School (RTG) "Nominal
Modification", funded by the German Science Foundation (Deutsche
Forschungsgemeinschaft, DFG). The starting date is as soon as possible.

The overall aim of the research program is to reach a better understanding of
the processes of nominal modification and of the structure of the nominal
domain. Detailed information about the research program, a list of potential
dissertation topics, and a list of the faculty involved in the program can be
