The German Department of the University of Zurich invites applications for an

Scandinavian Studies or Linguistics, including an excellent track record of
research into a Scandinavian language. In particular, we seek to employ a
candidate with expertise in an area at the core of the
language-space-interface, such as the geographic distribution of natural
languages and their varieties, the situational anchoring of speech in
interactional spaces, linguistic expressions of spatial-cognitive
representations etc. The successful candidate will be involved in the teaching
curriculum of the Section of Nordic Philology at BA and MA level, and in the
URPP initiatives which support young professionals at PhD and postdoc level.
The main languages of instruction are German and English.

In order to increase the number of women in leading academic positions, we
specifically encourage female researchers to apply.

The closing date for applications (including a letter of motivation, CV, list
