The ideal candidates will have competence within more than one of these languages, with one postdoctoral year intended for research within each language. The successful candidate shall work on predicates selecting for non-canonical case marking of the subject or the subject-like argument, their semantics and syntax, including further harvesting of relevant data. The candidates shall, together with other team members, build a joint electronic database, and write and contribute records to it. There will be a special focus on syntactic research and syntactic reconstruction. Knowledge of cognitive theories of syntax and Construction Grammar is essential.
