The two main tasks of the successful candidate are teaching and research.

The research is carried out in the domain of Scandinavian linguistics, 
preferably in the study of Swedish syntax, leading to a PhD within the five-
year term of the contract. The research will be carried out in one of the 
research groups of the Amsterdam Center for Language and 
Communication (ACLC).

Requirements
We are looking for a candidate with a clear aptitude for the domain of 
Swedish linguistics, especially syntax. The candidate must have a (near-) 
native command of the Swedish language, and a clear interest in language

that field. Furthermore, the candidate should have demonstrable teaching 
and research skills. 

Candidates must submit a detailed PhD proposal according to the 
guidelines published on the ACLC website (under 'vacancies')on a relevant 
subject in the field of Scandinavian linguistics. They may contact the ACLC 
director, Prof dr P.C. Hengeveld (p.c.hengeveld at uva.nl) to find a potential 
supervisor that may assist them in the elaboration of this proposal. The 
proposal will be evaluated with respect to viability, general scholarly 
interest, relevance for the current ACLC and Departmental research target 
areas, e.g.: The Language Blueprint and Learnability. Information about the 
research targets and about the research groups working under the 
auspices of the ACLC can be obtained from the ACLC website: 
www.hum.uva.nl/aclc (under Research).
