The postdoctoral position is funded through a project in Linguistics entitled "Quantity superlatives across languages", awarded by the Swedish Research Council to docent Elizabeth Coppock (project number 2015-01404).

Duties will include, in collaboration with the rest of the research team: project planning, development of a methodology for collecting data including stimulus materials, data collection, and publication of results along with analysis of theoretical consequences for typology and formal semantics.
