[Lingtyp] 3 year postdoc at University of Queensland

[Felicity Meakins]

The University of Queensland node of the Centre of Excellence for the Dynamics of Language is seeking a new three-year postdoctoral research fellow. The appointee will work in close collaboration with Felicity Meakins in the School of Languages and Cultures on one of the following topics:


  *   Language contact or change in an Australian language 

  *   Multiregional variation in an Australian language

  *   Description of a new Australian contact language


http://jobs.uq.edu.au/caw/en/job/502926/postdoctoral-research-fellow

The appointee will also undertake limited teaching – approximately 10% of time (one course/year), with details subject to negotiation. 


The application will involve clear and innovative plan (c. 2 pages) addressing what the applicant sees as an exciting and unexplored contact language or language contact/change question involving Australian languages. Any proposal that expands our knowledge of contact/change in Australian languages through a combination of fieldwork and other appropriate methods will be considered, and it may involve fieldwork in any region where Australian language contact/change is found, so applicants should feel free to make their own identification of site and question. Proposals will be ranked by the case they make for the relative importance of this as a vital next step in our understanding of Australian language contact, as well as the feasibility of the project within the time frame and resources.

Applications close: 14 Mar 2018 (11:55 PM) E. Australia Standard Time
