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

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

Job Location: Potsdam, Germany 
Web Address: http://ling.uni-potsdam.de

Job Rank: Researcher/Lecturer  

Specialty Areas: Syntax 


Description:

There are two vacant positions at the Linguistics Department of the
University of Potsdam, for researchers/lecturers (Wissenschaftlicher
Assistent) in the field of syntax.  

Applicants should have a specialization in theoretical (generative) syntax
and/or comparative syntax. They should have an interest in a close
cooperation with the Collaborative Research Center SFB 632
(www.sfb632.uni-potsdam.de/). The jobs come with a 4 hour teaching load per
semester related to our BSc and MSc programs. Applicants should have
finished their dissertation in the field of syntax.

One position will have to be filled by Oct 1st 2008. The person on this
position should teach a course in the winter term, and should be able to
teach in German in summer 2009. The other position can be filled around Jan
1st 2009. The person on this position should be able to teach in German in
fall/winter 2009. 

Payment depends on various factors such as age and marital status. An
average employee starts with around €2800 (before taxes) in the first year
and reaches €3800 per month in their fifth year of employment. 

The Potsdam department of linguistics is one of the biggest institutions of
its kind in Germany, and one of the most successful ones in terms of
external funding. The Linguistics Department in Potsdam has a close
relation to the thriving neighboring linguistics departments in Berlin
(Free University, Humboldt University).

Shortlisted applicants are likely to be invited to job interviews in late
July. 

Please attach your CV and relevant papers to your application.
