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

Center for Advanced Study in Theoretical Linguistics (CASTL)
Faculty of Humanities, Social sciences and Education 
University of Tromsø

The University of Tromsø currently has two vacant research fellow positions
for applicants who want to pursue a PhD degree in theoretical linguistics.
The successful applicants will propose research projects that are
compatible with ongoing work at CASTL in the area of syntax, including the
acquisition of syntax.

CASTL is a Norwegian Center of Excellence funded by the Research Council of
Norway and the University of Tromsø. The core scientific group of the
center currently consists of 6 senior researchers, 6 post docs/researchers
and 17 PhD students.

CASTL's primary research activity is within generative grammar with a focus
on syntax, phonology, and language acquisition. CASTL also runs a Graduate
School in theoretical linguistics. Individuals hired in the two advertized
research fellowships are expected to follow the program of the Graduate
School and to complete a doctoral dissertation. A more detailed plan for
coursework, research, and teaching will be developed by the employee
together with the Graduate School Coordinator shortly after appointment.
More information about our research and the Graduate School may be found
here: http://castl.uit.no.

The period of appointment is four years. The PhD study is standardized to
three years. The fourth year consists of teaching or other duties for the
university, organized according to a distribution formula of 25 % per year.

The successful applicants will have to document qualifications in
linguistics at the Master's level. Applicants will be assessed by an expert
committee. The main emphasis of the assessment will be on the applicant's
potential for research, as evident from: Master's thesis or equivalent,
other scholarly works and project description. Work experience and teaching
qualifications as well as administrative and organizational experience will
also be plus.
