[Kate Beeching]

Dear IGALA members


Please can you advertise our summer Research Associate post on any mailing lists you subscribe to and to any individuals who might be suitably qualified and interested.


The Job Description is as follows (and attached):


Bristol Centre for Linguistics is seeking to appoint a Research Associate to support its Sounds Bristolian or its Pragmatic markers project for an 8-week full-time temporary appointment in June and July 2018.



The successful applicant will have (or be about to have) a PhD in sociophonetics, syntax, pragmatics/lexical semantics, corpus linguistics, first or second language acquisition.



  1.  Sounds Bristolian

The current phase of the Sounds Bristolian project aims to help primary school children in the local area bridge the gap from talk to writing. The RA will collect data in local schools and analyse the specific difficulties experienced by children for whom English is an Additional Language as well as by those with a Bristolian accent.


  2.  Pragmatic markers
This project aims to identify specific pragmatic markers in adult/child corpora. The RA would independently extract markers from corpora, analyse their location and frequencies and the context in which they occur.

Interviews for the post will take place on 5 June 2018 and the post will run for 8 weeks from early June to early August.

 For further information about either project, contact Kate.Beeching at uwe.ac.uk

Unfortunately we are unable to appoint anyone from outside of the EU to this role as it does not meet the current UKVI criteria.
