Description:

We are seeking to recruit a postdoctoral researcher with expertise in
semantics as well as computational modelling and/or experimental methods to
contribute to the project “Logic in semantic universals”, funded by the UKRI
Future Leaders Fellowship (PI: Wataru Uegaki). The goal of the project is to
uncover what core properties of human language semantic universals in logical
vocabularies (including connectives, quantifiers, modals and clause-embedding
predicates) are rooted in. To this end, the project will pursue an integrated
approach that combines insights from formal semantics and evolutionary
linguistics, building on a wide-scale cross-linguistic data collection. As a
member of the project, the post-holder will contribute to the theory
construction and assessment of theories using modelling and/or experimental
methods, in collaboration with the project team.

Please apply via the link below. In addition to a full CV, please submit a
1-page cover letter that explains your motivation for applying for this
position, contact details for three referees, and two sample publications,
such as a journal article, thesis chapter, or proceedings paper along with
your application. The deadline is 27 April, 2023, 23:59 UK time.
