Description:

Positions available in Theoretical/Experimental Syntax, and Its
Interfaces: MSc/PhD Student in the Cognitive Science of Language,
McMaster University

The Centre for Advanced Research in Experimental and Applied
Linguistics (ARiEAL) and the Department of Linguistics and Languages
at McMaster University invites applications for Masters and PhD
studentships in theoretical and experimental syntax starting in
September 2023.

We are seeking students with strong academic potential in theoretical
linguistics to join the research teams led by Dr Alison Biggs
(Grammatical Theory Group) and Dr Ivona Kučerová (Syntax Lab) at the
ARiEAL Research Centre. Candidates should have research interests that
align with the expertise of these groups, specifically in syntax and
its interfaces, preferably approached from a comparative perspective.
We seek both students interested in theory and fieldwork, and students
interested in experimental syntax (EEG, eye-tracking). Students
interested in working on Indigenous languages of North America and
their revitalization, Chinese languages and dialects, Southeast Asian
languages, Arabic (dialects), and understudied languages and dialects
are especially encouraged to apply.

Applicants should have a strong undergraduate (Bachelors) or Masters
degree in Theoretical Linguistics, Language Sciences, or related
discipline, and will be expected to demonstrate excellent analytic
skills, intellectual curiosity, strong writing skills, and the ability
to work both independently and as part of a team.

Expectations:
As part of a research group, and depending on their level, the
successful candidates should expect to conduct original research, both
independently and collaboratively with other members of the research
group(s); complete an independent research thesis; present research at
(inter)national conferences; submit research results for publication
in peer-reviewed academic venues; contribute to linguistic teaching
through TAships; and organize and participate in reading and research
groups, seminars, and workshops, associated with their lab, ARiEAL, or
the Department of Linguistics and Languages.

Admissions and funding information:
Successful candidates will be admitted to the graduate program in the
Cognitive Science of Language housed at the Department of Linguistics
and Languages, Faculty of Humanities, McMaster University, and will be
expected to complete the curriculum of the respective MSc and PhD
degree.

Successful candidates will be awarded the standard MSc/PhD funding
package and additional SSHRC-funded research scholarships or research
assistantships.

Interested applicants should apply under the supervision of Dr. Alison
Biggs and/or Dr. Ivona Kučerová (joint supervision is available).

The initial application deadline is January 31, but applications can
be considered at a later stage as well.

Questions can be directed to Alison Biggs (biggsa2 AT mcmaster DOT ca)
and/or Ivona Kučerová (kucerov AT mcmaster  DOT ca)

Application Deadline: 31-Jan-2023
