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

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.

Description:

The dissertation research should be in the area of language typology, with
particular emphasis on the typology of verbal valency classes. It will be
carried out in the context of a project on valency classes in the world's
languages (see http://email.eva.mpg.de/~haspelmt/Ditransitive.html). 

The doctoral fellow should already have an MA in Linguistics or an
equivalent qualification, and be either registered or qualified to register
in a recognized doctoral program at a university or equivalent
degree-awarding institution. (The MPI for Evolutionary Anthropology does
not award degrees.) Applicants should have previous experience in language
typology (experience in statistical methods and handling of databases is
desirable). Good knowledge of English is required. 

Except for approved absences (e. g. fieldwork, conferences, vacation), the
place of work is Leipzig. The fellowship is available from 1 September
2009. We will start reviewing applications on 18 May 2009.
 
Women are especially encouraged to apply; handicapped applicants with equal
qualifications will be given preferential treatment.

Applicants should send a CV, a statement of research interests, and a
sample of written work (such as the MA thesis or a research article). 

All documents sent by the applicant (i. e. CV + statement document, and a
sample document) should preferably be submitted as PDF documents. One
letter of recommendation should be also sent to this address, by May 31st,
2009.
