================================================================

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.

University or Organization: Meertens Instituut, Amsterdam
Department: Variation Linguistics
Job Rank: Post Doc
Specialty Areas: Syntax; Dialects in Europe


Description:

Two 3-year postdoc positions in the ESF-funded project European Dialect
Syntax. The positions are available from the 1st of  September 2005.

Project information: The goal of this project is twofold: (I) Setting up
and extending cooperation between dialect syntax projects in Europe,
yielding a European network of dialect syntacticians that use the same
standards with respect to methodology of data collection, data storage,
annotation, data retrieval and cartography; (II) Theoretical analysis of
syntactic doubling phenomena in European dialects (e.g. subject doubling,
Wh-word doubling, agreement doubling, auxiliary doubling, etc.). The
project builds on the standards, database and network developed in the
Dutch-Flemish project Syntactic Atlas of the Dutch Dialects (2000-2004; for
more information: http://www.meertens.nl/projecten/sand/sandeng.html).
Postdoc 1 will be primarily concerned with the European Dialect Syntax
network. Postdoc 2 will be primarily concerned with the theoretical
analysis of doubling phenomena. In addition to the postdocs, the research
team consists of the project leader (Sjef Barbiers), a research assistant
and a software developer.

The application should include a letter of application with a description
of the applicants' background, research experience and the relevance of
previous work to the European Dialect Syntax Project, a curriculum vitae,
a Ph.D.-dissertation or equivalent work and other relevant material, a
research proposal (4-5 pages), which must be relevant to the European
Dialect Syntax Project, names and e-mail addresses of two referees and a
complete list of publications.

The application should be sent in 2 collated sets to the address above. The
letter of application, CV and research proposal should also be send
electronically to sjef.barbiers at meertens.knaw.nl
