The Wissenschaftskolleg in Berlin and the National Humanities Center in North
Carolina are soliciting applications for the 2015/16 SIAS Summer Institute:
The Investigation of Linguistic Meaning: In the Armchair, in the Field, and in
the Lab. The Summer Institute wants to attract 20 postdoctoral fellows from
one of three fields: (a) Theoretical Linguistics, especially Semantics and its
interfaces with Pragmatics, Syntax, and Phonology, (b) Cognitive Psychology
and Cognitive Neuroscience, and (c) Linguistic and Anthropological Fieldwork.
SIAS Summer Institutes are designed to support the development of scholarly
networks and collaborative projects among young scholars from the United
States and Europe. The institutes are open to scholars who have received a
Ph.D. within the past five years and Ph.D. candidates who are now studying or
teaching at a European or American institution of higher education. SIAS
Summer Institute fellows will be brought together in two two-week summer
institutes in two consecutive years. 

July 20 to 31, 2015, Berlin, Germany, organized by the Wissenschaftskolleg and
ZAS
July 18 to 29, 2016, National Humanities Center, Research Triangle Park, North
Carolina

building, resulting in joint publications at the end of the project. A second
goal will be capacity building, especially the acquisition of methods in the
neighboring fields.

Amherst.
