 ==========================================================================
The LINGUIST List strongly encourages employers to use
non-discriminatory standards in hiring policy. In particular we urge
that employers do not discriminate on the grounds of race, ethnicity,
nationality, age, religion, gender, or sexual orientation. However, we
have no means of enforcing these standards.

Job seekers should pay special attention to language in ads regarding
employment requirements and are encouraged to consult our international
employment page http://linguistlist.org/jobnet.html.

This page has been set up so that people can report on the employment
standards of various countries.

Research Position at ZAS, Berlin

Applicants are invited for a full time research position in semantics at
the ZAS (Research Centre for General Linguistics, Typology, and
Universals; http://www.zas.gwz-berlin.de/) in Berlin from October 1,
2001 until December 31, 2002. There is a possibility for an extension
beginning on January 1, 2003.

Applicants should hold a Ph.D. or doctorate, or be very close to
finishing it. They should have a strong background in formal and lexical
semantics (especially temporal adverbials, tense and information
structure) as well as in generative syntax.

The candidate is expected to conduct research in a project on the
compositional semantics of the C-domain (Rizzi 1997). The focus of the
project is on the analysis of temporal and locative frame setting
modifiers and their interaction with the topic/comment structure of the
sentence.

The salary will be according to the normal range for researchers
("Wissenschaftliche Mitarbeiter"; BAT-O IIa) in Germany, with details
depending on the age and marital status of the applicant. Knowledge of
German is helpful but not required.

Applications should include a CV, the names of two references, sample
publications and a short statement outlining future research
plans. Applications and inquiries should be directed to:
