Description:

The newly funded Spezialforschungsbereich (SFB) ‘Language Between
Redundancy and Deficiency’ is seeking to hire a PhD candidate for one
of its subprojects for up to four year positions, starting in March
2024, or as soon as possible thereafter.

Subproject: : Fading reference – the pragmaticalization of pronoun +
verb
PI: Eva-Maria Remberger
Location: Vienna, Institute of Romance Studies
1 PhD positions (predoc, 75%)

The successful candidate will do research in a project on the
development of highly frequent pronoun-verb-combinations in Italian in
order to investigate their grammar at the interfaces to pragmatics. An
excellent or near native language competence in Italian is expected.
Applicants should have a solid background in theoretical linguistics,
preferably with a specialization in Italian morphosyntax, including
the interfaces to pragmatics. Experience in corpus and field research
as well as a solid knowledge of formal semantics and pragmatics would
be a plus. The successful candidate will be expected to contribute to
the project work, including publications and conference participation,
assist in organizational matters, and complete a PhD dissertation at
the university of Vienna during the four years of the program. For
more information please contact the PI
(eva-maria.remberger at univie.ac.at).

The SFB consists of 8 subprojects and an administrative subproject in
the areas of syntax, morphology and semantics, investigating the
interface of the symbolic system of grammar and the stochastic
cognitive system. The focus of the first four years will be on
pronouns, their structure, feature specification and interpretation.
The SFB involves PIs from Departments of Linguistics, German Studies,
Romance Studies and Slavic Studies at the Universities of Vienna, Graz
and Salzburg. Applicants should have MA/PhD degrees in linguistics
with specializations as detailed below. The SFB will provide an active
and lively research environment with inter-university collaborations
as well as ties to the local research communities, and an
intellectually open, inclusive and flexible work environment at three
leading Austrian universities. International applicants are
encouraged, knowledge of German is not a prerequisite, unless noted
otherwise below. Payment and benefits are as specified in the Austrian
Kollektivvertrag for public employees; in addition, the SFB provides
funds for travel, conferences, workshops and networking activities.

The University of Vienna has an anti-discriminatory employment policy
and attaches great importance to equal opportunities, the advancement
of women and diversity. We lay special emphasis on increasing the
number of women in senior and in academic positions among the academic
and general university staff and therefore expressly encourage
qualified women to apply. Given equal qualifications, preference will
be given to female candidates.

We are looking forward to receiving your application (in English).
Applications should include the following documents:
 - Cover letter/statement of interest
 - CV
 - Written academic paper (thesis, other qualifying paper,
publication)
 - Copies of degree certificates
 - Addresses of potential recommenders or, optional: letters of
recommendation

Unless indicated otherwise please submit the documents as a PDF-file,
or several PDFs merged in one zip-file.
