The LINGUIST List strongly encourages employers to engage in non-discriminatory 
hiring practices. We urge employers not to discriminate on the grounds of race, 
ethnicity, nationality, disability, 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

Description:

Contact: Carmen Dobrovie-Sorin, LLF

University: University Paris 7
Job rank: Postdoctoral researcher
Duration: 12 months, from dec. 2011/jan. 2012
Salary: 24,000 EUR net income a year
Keywords: Syntax-Semantics interface, Formal Semantics, pluralities and 
quantification
Application deadline: 2011/11/10
Application email: marandin at linguist.jussieu.fr
Application reference: EFL-PLU

Applicants are invited to work in a 10-year project 'Empirical foundations of 
linguistics'. The candidate will work in Strand 2 : "Experimental Grammar in a 
cross linguistic perspective". This a full time position.

The successful applicant will have to document qualifications in linguistics/ 
psycholinguistics at the PhD level. S/he should have defended his/her PhD 
before December 1st, 2011. 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: PhD thesis, other scholarly works and 
project description.

Application form will include: updated CV; the reference of two referents (with 
email address); web address with publications.

The candidate will work on the analysis of the mass/count distinction, 
pluralities and quantification in several languages (Romance, with special 
emphasis on French, Italian, Romanian and Brazilian Portuguese), as well as 
typologically unrelated languages, such as Mandarin Chinese, Somali or 
Karitiana. His/her task will be: to help establishing and validate empirical 
generalizations in the test languages; to contribute to designing experiments 
that are meant to (i) ascertain the data (by testing grammaticality judgments 
in an online fashion) and (ii) to evaluate competing theories; to integrate the 
results of the (independently driven) psycholinguistic experiments within the 
theory that will be elaborated in the project. The ideal candidate should 
demonstrate previous experience on the subject, and an in-depth knowledge 
of formal semantics and the syntax-semantics interface. Knowledge of one or 
more of the languages involved in the project will be a plus.
