The positions are associated with the Center for Advanced Study in
Theoretical Linguistics (CASTL) at the Faculty of Humanities; read more

updates about these positions.

One of the positions -Position 1- will be linked to a specific research
program in syntax named Moving right along, directed by Professor Peter
Svenonius. For more information on this project, see 
http://uit.no/castl/4514/14 . 

For the other two positions -Position 2 and Position 3- we solicit
applications connected to any one (or more) of CASTL's projects, as
presented at http://castl.uit.no . 

Please indicate which position(s) you are applying for. Applicants applying
for more than one position may send a single set of application materials. 

The successful applicant will document scientific competence in theoretical
linguistics at the Master's level. Applicants must have proficiency in
English at a level appropriate for advanced scientific work. 

The salary for the positions follows the relevant Norwegian regulations. At
the time the regular salary for a research fellow is NOK 292.200, - per
year. A 2 % contribution to the Norwegian pension fund is obligatory. 

The application should include:
 
-a letter of application (up to 3 pages) with a description of the
applicant's background, research experience and the relevance of previous
work to CASTL's research project 

-a research proposal (5-7 pages), which must be relevant to CASTL's
research profile as described on http://castl.uit.no 

-2 letters of recommendation 

-certified copies of references, diplomas and transcripts

works have been published 

The application should be sent in 5 collated sets to the following address

NB! We also want the application letter and project proposal sent to us
electronically at castl at hum.uit.no 

In addition to the application materials mentioned above, applicants must
also send 3 collated sets of academic works - published or unpublished - to
the following address by March 29.  This will minimally include the

The evaluation will only consider information and material which are 
submitted by March 29, 2005. 

The evaluation will consider the need to maintain breadth within CASTL's
research profile, taking into consideration our core strengths in syntax
and phonology.
