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
employment page http://linguistlist.org/jobs/jobnet.html. This page has been set 
up so that people can report on the employment standards of various countries.

Description:

The International Max Planck Research School (IMPRS) for Language 
Sciences is a joint initiative of the Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics 
and two research institutes based at the Radboud University Nijmegen, the 
Donders Institute for Brain, Cognition and Behaviour and the Centre for 
Language Studies.

www.mpi.nl/education/imprs-for-language-sciences

The IMPRS for Language Sciences is advertising 3 doctoral fellowships in 
any field contributing to the language sciences, for example, linguistics, 
psycholinguistics, cognitive neuroscience of language, or language and 
genetics. The fellowships are, in the normal case, three years in length. 
Fellowship recipients will receive a monthly salary sufficient to cover living 
costs in Nijmegen, The Netherlands.

Applicants must have a Masters degree (or expect to complete the degree 
before September 2012) in a relevant field. The working language of the 
research school is English.

Applications must be prepared according to the following guidelines or will not 
be considered. Your application must be emailed as one PDF document that 
includes the following information:

Curriculum vitae. Include:
- Relevant work and educational background.
- Details about your completed or expected Masters degree, including 
supervisors, date of completion, title of thesis and a brief description of your 
topic, and any grades you received for relevant coursework (no official 
transcript required).
- Details about your technical skillset and proficiency. For example, this may 
include programming, statistics, mathematical knowledge, experimental 
design/methods, neuroimaging, practical phonetics, corpus methods, 
fieldwork, etc.

Research proposal. No more than one page. Include:
- Your proposed research question (one sentence) and title (no longer than 10 
words.
- A sketch of your proposed PhD research project that gives a basic overview 
of your proposed research and the methods you would hope to employ. Note, 
the details of the final research project would be decided upon in consultation 
with supervisors if a fellowship were awarded—here we would like to see how 
well you can frame a research question and test a hypothesis.
- Names of potential supervisors from any of the three IMPRS partner 
institutes. You can find out about researchers' work from the partner institute 
websites. You do not need to contact potential supervisors at this time.

Personal statement. No more than half a page. 
-  The IMPRS community is an active one, where our PhDs take part in 
enrichment and training, and help to organise activities for the research 
school. If you were awarded a fellowship (a) whom would you like to invite as 
a guest speaker? (b) what professional development training would be most 
useful for you? and (c) what activities would you propose?
 
References. Provide:
-  Names, titles and email contact details of 2 academic referees. We will 
only contact them if you are shortlisted for an interview.

Proof of English-language proficiency if not a native English speaker. 
Provide:
-  Electronic copy/scan of TOEFL/Cambridge/IELTS certificate or equivalent. 
This may be submitted after the main application deadline if necessary.

The final day for applications is Thursday, 5 January 2012. Applications 
received after this date will not be considered.

Send your application by email (marked 'IMPRS application') to the 
application email address below. In your email, specify how you heard about 
the IMPRS for Language Sciences.

Interviews will be held in mid-February 2012. Start dates will be 3 September 
2012.
