Application deadline: 2011/11/10
Application email: adonabedian at inalco.fr
Application reference: EFL-GD1

This is a full-time position, starting on February 1st, 2012
Applications are invited for a one-year position within the project 'The 
typology and corpus annotation of information structure and grammatical 
relations', coordinated by Amina Mettouchi and Martine Vanhove, within the 
Labex project Empirical Foundations of Linguistics.

This position involves interaction with field linguists working on various 
language families, in view of testing various annotations of information 
structure and grammatical relations in spoken corpora. The candidate will be 
expected to (a) work with each member of the project in order to identify the 
relevant structures encoded in the language, (b) implement the various coding 
solutions devised for each language on a corpus belonging to the members of 
the project, (c) synthesize the problems encountered and the solutions found 
for all the languages in the project. There is no software development 
involved. Details on the project can be found on: 
http://web.me.com/aminamettouchi/ISGR_Labex_EFL/

The prerequisite for the position is a PhD in linguistics, on a topic involving 
lesser-described languages (including endangered languages, creoles, pidgins 
and mixed languages). The PhD thesis and the publications of the candidate 
should be proof of her/his competence in working on spoken data gathered 
during fieldwork, and their treatment in the form of electronic corpora 
(Toolbox, Elan, Praat or other). Competence in prosodic annotation is an 
asset, but is not required at the beginning of the project.

When applying, please include: A letter of motivation; a curriculum vitae 
(including a list of publications); a website where publications can be found; 
the names and email addresses of two referees.
