Post-doc position (65%) in theoretical linguistics, Stuttgart

[Fabienne Martin fmartin@ulb.ac.be [parislinguists]]

We invite applications for a post-doc position (65%) in theoretical
linguistics (lexical semantics and its interfaces with
morphology/syntax/pragmatics) at the University of Stuttgart,
Germany. The position should be filled as soon as possible and is
available until the 30th of June 2018. Salary is according to the
German TV-L E13 scale.

The candidate will contribute to the project B5 of the
Sonderforschungsbereich (collaborative research center) 732,
(http://www.uni-stuttgart.de/linguistik/sfb732/), 'Incremental
Specification in Context'. The central aims of the project are (i) to
construct semantic analyses of French verbs that account for the way
their event inferences vary in context, to account for the
lexical, supralexical and sub-lexical factors that influence these
inferences/ the disambiguation process, and (ii) to develop lexical
resources that enable these analyses.

Desired qualifications:
- Ph.D. in theoretical or computational linguistics
- Specialization in lexical semantics
- Preferably some experience in relevant domains of computational
  linguistics (XML and processing of XML data, corpus-linguistic
  tools, parsing, programming or scripting languages)
- Very good command of French  for candidates without computational
background.

An interest in diachronic syntax/semantics of Romance languages is welcome,
but not required.

We offer the opportunity to work on cutting-edge research projects in
a dynamic and international research team with up-to-date
infrastructure and resources. English is the working language.

Please send applications to Prof. Achim Stein until September 1st 2014
by email at achim.stein at ling.uni-stuttgart.de. Applications should be
sent in PDF format and include a CV, a list of publications, the names
of two referees, two relevant publications and explicit statements
about foreign language competences and computational skills.

The University of Stuttgart is an equal opportunity employer.
Applications of women are strongly encouraged. Severely challenged
persons will be given preference in case of equal qualifications
