Description:

The Department of Translation and Philology at Universitat Pompeu Fabra
anticipates the possibility of sponsoring three four-year research
assistantships for doctoral study, one for each of the following funded projects:

1. Long distance dependencies: Theoretical and descriptive approaches (PI: Alex
Alsina)

2. Natural Language Ontology and the Semantic Representation of Abstract Objects
(PI: Louise McNally)

3. Context, contact and level of competence the acquisition of English as a
foreign language: The development of oral and written abilities by advanced
level learners (PI: Carmen Pérez Vidal)

The basic eligibility requirement is a Bachelor's degree or equivalent dated no
later than January 1, 2004 (or January 1, 2000 for those who can accredit having
spent the period between 1/1/2000-1/1/2004 taking care of dependents younger
than 6 years old).

The scholarship includes a monthly stipend, coverage by the Social Security
system, and university fees related to doctoral study. The assistantship also
includes the possibility of applying for grants for short-term stays abroad.
Annual renewal of the assistantship will depend on successful progress in the
doctoral studies and collaboration on the research projects.

As the application for these assistantships is handled through the Spanish
Ministry of Education and Science (specifically, via web at
http://www.mec.es/ciencia/becasfpi), we strongly recommend individuals who are
interested in applying to contact the principal investigator of the project of
interest for technical assistance with the application process, as there are a
few simple but necessary bureaucratic matters that must be dealt with in order
to be able to apply.

For more information about the projects and the doctoral degrees offered by the
Department of Translation and Philology at Universitat Pompeu Fabra, see the
website listed above or contact the principal investigator of the project that
interests you:

Louise McNally: louise.mcnally at upf.edu
Alex Alsina: alex.alsina at upf.edu
Carmen Pérez:  carmen.perez at upf.edu

We anticipate that the web interface for the application process will be open
for 15 days during the month of January 2008. We therefore strongly recommend
that candidates contact us no later than December 21, 2007 (and preferably
sooner) for information on how to proceed. 

Application Deadline: 21-Dec-2007
