Description:
The Collaborative Research Centre CRC 1287 “Limits of Variability in
Language: Cognitive, Computational, and Grammatical Aspects” in
Potsdam, Germany, invites applications for short-term fellowships
available in 2024.

The linguistic system exhibits a high degree of variability at all
levels of linguistic description. This variability in language can be
characterised as a range of different possible linguistic behaviours
that are available to an individual language user, a group of language
users, or specific languages. The variability is limited by the
constraints of the underlying linguistic system and shaped by
cognitive and social or communicative factors. This variability is not
just reducible to random noise but provides an important source of
information to explain and predict linguistic behaviour. By modelling
the factors influencing linguistic behaviours, the CRC (22 PIs in 15
scientific projects, one transfer project, and three service projects)
contributes to a better understanding of the underlying mental
representations and processing architectures in individual language
users, as well as of the grammatical options available in individual
languages and specific linguistic varieties, and options shared by
particular subgroups of languages users.

The CRC provides a fantastic research infrastructure including a large
interdisciplinary network of researchers and its own graduate school
(the MGK - Integrated Research Training Group).

We are offering several three- to four-month fellowships to PhD
candidates from non-German universities who would like to carry out a
collaborative research project within one of the projects of the CRC.
Please see the available projects here:
https://www.sfb1287.uni-potsdam.de/en/overview/.

The monthly fellowship is tax-exempt and covers a basic amount (1365
EUR) plus direct costs (103 EUR) plus 400 EUR per child, if
applicable. Holders of the grant need to cover health insurance on
their own.

The University of Potsdam has a vibrant and interdisciplinary
scientific community spanning many disciplines, including leading
groups in the field of cognitive sciences
(https://www.uni-potsdam.de/en/cognitive-sciences/index). The
University is located in the city of Potsdam, which is connected to
Berlin city centre via a quick 30-minute train ride. Potsdam is an
attractive historical city and its palaces are a UNESCO World Heritage
Site. Both cities are culturally vibrant and offer an unparalleled
quality of life, as well as an affordable cost of living.

The University of Potsdam values the diversity of its members and
pursues the goals of equal opportunities regardless of gender,
nationality, ethnic and social origin, religion/belief, disability,
age, sexual orientation or identity. In the case of equal suitability,
women in accordance with Section 7 (4) BbgHG and people with a severe
disability will be given preferential consideration.

Application Deadline: 30-Sep-2023

Application Instructions:
The fellowships require completed academic studies at an institute of
higher learning (Master’s degree or equivalent) and enrolment in a PhD
programme. Furthermore, before submitting the application, candidates
must have approached the principal investigators in their project of
interest with a developed proposal detailing (a) what they would do
during their stay, and (b) how this relates to the aims of the CRC
project. Applications that do not meet these criteria will not be
accepted.

Please send your application as a single PDF file to
mgk-sfb1287 at uni-potsdam.de. This must include:
 - a short letter of motivation (max. 1 page)
 - a research proposal and timeline for the duration of the stay (2-4
pages)
 - a full CV including academic transcripts; a list of
publications/talks/presentations; a web-link to a copy of the Master's
thesis; and the names and e-mail addresses of two referees

Additionally, the research proposal should have a title and state
which project within the CRC the short-term researcher wants to be
affiliated with (e.g., “B01”).

The deadline for the application for a fellowship in 2024 is listed
above. Late applications may be considered if positions are unfilled.
