Description:

The Department of Language and Literature invites applications from qualified
individuals for a 2-year postdoctoral position within the research group AcqVA
(Acquisition, Variation & Attrition), with the possibility of additional time
for teaching if the successful applicant has relevant competence for this.

The AcqVA group (http://site.uit.no/acqva/) is a joint research group between
UiT The Arctic University of Norway in Tromsø and NTNU in Trondheim. The
Trondheim unit of the group consists of 24 researchers, including 4
professors, 6 associate professors, 2 postdocs/researchers, 8 PhD candidates,
and 3 adjunct professors. The group members are involved in a range of
research projects both locally and internationally, many of which have
received external funding.

Changes in states of linguistic knowledge, be it in develop­ment
(acqui­sition) or possible erosion over the life­span (attri­tion), exa­mined
across complementary populations and multiple lan­guage com­binations
(variation), provide crucial know­ledge about the organi­za­tion of mental
gram­mars. AcqVA conducts research based on real-life situ­a­tions,
re­flect­ing today’s globa­lized world where learning mul­tiple lan­guages at
various points in the lifetime has become increasingly common. AcqVA’s vision
is to provide ground­breaking data and novel theories that will
sub­stan­tially increase our understanding of how mental gram­mars may vary,
how they develop in children and adults, and how they change under condi­tions
of reduced input and use.

In Trondheim, research centers around two topics: i) understanding variation
in closely related varieties (including dialects and multilingual grammars),
and ii) L2 and L3 acquisition. The advertised postdoc position will provide an
opportunity for research projects within the first of these areas (variation
in closely related varieties and/or aspects of multilingual grammars) and on
any suitable language combinations.
