PhD Scholarship in Topology & Language
Our research team is looking for a PhD student with skills in both
linguistics and mathematics. We are undertaking an international
study into whether the concepts of mathematics (in particular
topology) are understood differently by researchers from different
language groups. We have room for a graduate student seeking to
obtain a PhD in this area, and are able to offer substantial
financial assistance for at least two years to a suitable applicant
(local fees plus $NZ12 000). Under a bilateral agreement, local fees
apply to citizens of France and Germany.

The applicant will need a good Honours or Masters degree in
mathematics or linguistics PLUS substantial knowledge in the other
discipline. Applicants with a background in either topology or
cognitive linguistics will have an advantage.
Applications will be considered as they are received, and the
position will remain open until an appointment is made. We would like
the successful applicant to start as soon as possible after February
1st, 2002.

Further information may be obtained from Bill Barton

Dr Bill Barton,
Department of Mathematics,

Many thanks in anticipation
