Description:

Doctoral fellowship in linguistics

The Department of Linguistics of the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary 
Anthropology (Leipzig) seeks candidates for a three-year doctoral fellowship in 
linguistics. The candidates should be able to make contributions to the 
department's areas of research.

The Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology studies human diversity 
and human origins in a multidisciplinary perspective. The contribution of linguistics 
to this goal lies in the study of the history and prehistory of languages (and 
peoples) around the world (especially non-European languages), as well as the 
current diversity of human languages (linguistic fieldwork on little-described and 
endangered languages and language typology). The Department of Linguistics 
collaborates with the Department of Evolutionary Genetics and the Max Planck 
Research Group on Comparative Population Linguistics to compare the evidence 
from linguistics and genetics for the prehistory of human populations. The largest 
recent collaborative projects of the Department of Linguistics are the World Atlas 
of Language Structures (http://wals.info/) and Loanword Typology 
(http://wold.livingsources.org/). More information on these and other projects is 
available on the institute's website (see below).

Doctoral fellows should already have an MA in Linguistics or an equivalent 
qualification by the start of their fellowship, and be either registered or qualified to 
register in a recognized doctoral program at a university or equivalent degree-
awarding institution. Doctoral fellows have the possibility of obtaining their doctoral 
degree through the University of Leipzig (http:/www.uni-leipzig.de).

Regular participation in the department's talks, seminars and workshops is 
expected. Except for approved absences (e.g. fieldwork, conferences, vacation), 
the place of work is Leipzig. The fellowship is available from 01 October 2011, but 
a later starting date may be negotiated, no later, however, than 01 January 2012.

There are no teaching obligations, but the opportunity for teaching in the linguistics 
program of the University of Leipzig exists.

Good knowledge of English is required.

Applicants are requested to send a C.V., statement of research interests, and a 
sample of written work on a relevant topic to the address given below 
or by e-mail to: comrie at eva.mpg.de (in which case supplementary materials 
available only in hard copy should be sent to the mailing address below). 

Application Deadline: 04-Apr-2011
