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

Syntax (NORMS, see website URL provided above).

Date of announcement:  27.10.08

NORMS and the University of Tromsø invite applications for several research
positions in Scandinavian microcomparative syntax. 

NORMS is a Nordic Center of Excellence, which is directed from CASTL in
Tromsø by Peter Svenonius and Øystein Alexander Vangsnes, involving the
following seven institutions (listing from West to East):
- The University of Iceland, Reykjavík (contact person Höskuldur
Thráinsson, hoski at hi.is)
- The University of Aarhus (contact person Sten Vikner, sten.vikner at hum.au.dk)
- The Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU), Trondheim
(contact person Tor A. Åfarli, tor.aafarli at hf.ntnu.no)
- The University of Oslo (contact person Janne Bondi Johannessen,
jannebj at iln.uio.no)
- Lund University (contact person Christer Platzack,
christer.platzack at nordlund.lu.se)
- The University of Tromsø (contact person Øystein Alexander Vangsnes,
oystein.vangsnes at hum.uit.no)
- The University of Helsinki (contact person Jan-Ola Östman,
Jan-Ola.Ostman at helsinki.fi)

NORMS is jointly funded by NOS-HS, NordForsk, and by the seven partner
institutions. It is a five-year investigation into microcomparative
variation in the syntax of dialects across the Scandinavian language
continuum, and it operates closely with the Scandinavian Dialect Syntax
Project ('ScanDiaSyn') and with other European partners. For further
information about NORMS please consult the homepages.

Contingent on funding and administrative approval, approximately four to
six positions are expected to be awarded for one to one and a half years
each, with an anticipated starting date in spring or early fall 2009. The
positions will be distributed around the NORMS network, with special
consideration being given to NTNU in Trondheim. Applicants should indicate
clearly in their applications which of the above seven institutions they
wish to be based at. The positions will have salaries and benefits similar
to that of a post-doctoral researcher at the relevant institution.
