[Östen Dahl]

 Two Ph.D. Studentships in General Linguistics at Stockholm University,
Sweden 
  
 The Department of Linguistics at Stockholm University invites applications
for  
 a four year studentship for its Ph.D. programme in General Linguistics
(start  
 date: January 2004). 
  
 Applicants are expected to choose a topic for their Ph.D. theses within the

 department's focal areas of research. These include typological, areal, and

 diachronic/evolutionary aspects of grammar, discourse and lexicon; contact 
 languages; descriptions of lesser known languages.  For more information
see our 
 web site (http://www.ling.su.se).  
  
 Applicants must have an undergraduate degree including an equivalent of the

 Swedish 'magister' programme in General Linguistics. This programme focuses

 on linguistic theory and comprises two years of study including the writing
of  
 two research papers. Applicants from all countries are welcome. Knowledge
of 
 Swedish is not a formal requirement but students are strongly advised to
acquire  
 a working knowledge of Swedish as soon as possible (language courses are  
 offered by the university).  
  
 During the period of the studentship, the student is a regular employee of
the 
 University. The beginning salary is SEK 17900 a month (approximately EURO
1970 or 
 USD 2370).  
  
 The first period of employment is for one year. The employment contract can

 then be renewed for at most two years at a time, up to a total of four
years, or,  
 if the student accepts teaching or administrative duties at the department
(not 
 exceeding 20 per cent of full time), maximally five years.  
  
 The deadline for applications is November 15, 2004. Applications should be
sent 
 by ordinary mail to Stockholms universitet, Registrator/PÖ, 106 91
