Description:

The Max Planck Institute for the Science of Human History in Jena (Germany) is offering two full-time positions for doctoral research: one in the field of phylogenetic linguistics and one the field of interdisciplinary linguistics. The position is tied to the eurasia3angle research group. Funded by an ERC Consolidator Grant, this interdisciplinary group will work on “Millet and beans, language and genes. The origin and dispersal of the Transeurasian family.” The positions are for up to 4 years, beginning September 1st, 2016. By the time of employment, prospective PhD candidates need to have completed an MA in linguistics with excellent results. Their specialisation is in one of the Transeurasian languages, in phylogenetics or in historical comparative linguistics. Ideally, they have linguistic knowledge of more than one Transeurasian language and they have an intermediate command of Russian.

If interested, please send the application documents specified below to the group's principal investigator, Martine Robbeets (robbeets at shh.mpg.de) by January 1st, 2016. More information can be found in the calls on the project website http://www.shh.mpg.de/102128/eurasia3angle_group

(i) a letter of motivation detailing how you meet the qualifications (max. 500 words)
(ii) a brief research proposal specifying how you could contribute to this project (max. 1000 words, excluding references)
