Job Title: Senior Researcher in Theoretical Linguistics
Job Rank: Post Doc

Specialty Areas: Morphology; Phonology; Semantics; Syntax 


Description:

One Research Fellowship within Theoretical Linguistics is available in the
Department of Language and Linguistics at the University of Tromsø - The
Arctic University of Norway (UiT). The position is affiliated to the research
group CASTL-FISH (Centre for the Advanced Study of Theoretical Linguistics –
Formal Investigations into Structure and Hierarchy).

Application deadline: 28.5.2015
Ref. no: 2015/1830

The appointment is a fixed term position for a period of three years.

CASTL-FISH is the sub-group of CASTL (Centre for the Advanced Study of
Theoretical Linguistics) which works on the core theoretical areas that form
the basis of the study of language in its pure form: syntax, morphology,
phonology, and semantics. The group's focus is on core scientific research
with long-term impact. The group concentrates on hierarchical structure and
formal complexity, properties that from our perspective make language a
distinctive and important area of study. This idea unifies the research done
within the group in syntax, semantics, morphology and phonology. The group is
also interested in the architectural issues involving the interfaces among
these different areas. For more information about the CASTL-FISH research
group please consult the following URL:
http://castl.uit.no/index.php/syntax/castl-fish

The successful candidate should have a research project that explicitly
investigates structural and hierarchical formal properties of language in
accordance with the CASTL-FISH project focus. We particularly invite proposals
which deal with the relationship of structure to linear order (either word
order or morpheme order), or the relationship of structure to meaning. We will
especially welcome projects that connect to more than one research group or
project within the Department of Language and Linguistics. The purpose of the
postdoctoral position is to boost the CASTL-FISH research area by contributing
energy and new, original ideas at the interfaces of syntax, morphology,
phonology or semantics.

The position will be divided between 80 % research time on the candidate's
primary research project and 20 % support work on collaborative research
projects within CASTL and the Department of Language and Linguistics, as
appropriate to the applicant's skill set.
