[Lingtyp] 1-year scholarship in typology at the Potsdam Typology Lab in 2027

[Ilja A. Seržant]

Potsdam Typology Lab (PTL) hosted at the Chair of Slavic linguistics (U 
Potsdam) will fund one-year scholarship starting in 2027 (the exact 
dates are flexible). *During this time the successful applicant will 
have to submit one research paper and one grant application for a 
project to be carried out at the PTL if successful (any funding body, 
any programme). *I do not request moving to Potsdam during the 
scholarship but active participation in our weekly colloquium 
<https://www.uni-potsdam.de/de/slavische-linguistik/guest-talks-our-reading-group-kolloquium> 
during the teaching time (Vorlesungszeit) is very much expected for the 
interaction with, and integration into, our team.

The preferred topics are those of PTL: typological studies in argument 
marking, in verbal morphology, in stability of grammatical categories 
through time; studies in areal linguistics (new methods; theoretical 
contributions: what is an area? is there such a thing as a sprachbund 
and, if yes, how it should be defined); corpus-based methods in typology 
or areal linguistics; approaches to explain languistic diversity (here 
we focus primarily on dialectology in Potsdam Slavic Variation Lab, but 
since dialectology and typology can inform each other here, both 
subdisciplines are very welcome); intradisciplinary research combining 
efficiency / language processing / psycholinguistics with typology.

*Application process*

I would like the application process to be as easy and friendly as 
possible for both parts. So, at this moment, I am just asking to *send 
me only your expression of interest, that is, an email with just 1-2 
sentences indicating the topic of your potential research at PTL until 
July 20, 2026* (please make sure I confirmed you the receipt thereof). 
*No more than that. *I will discuss the candidates with my colleagues 
internally and then ask just 2-3 candidates to submit a one-page 
application.

The scholarship is 2.200 euro per month; plus there will be some funding 
available for conference trips.

Talk to me in Lyon if you have questions.
