Subject: Morphology; Semantics; Syntax; Typology, PhD, Humboldt University Berlin, Germany

 Institution/Organization: Humboldt University Berlin 
Department: German Language and Linguistics 
Web Address: https://www.linguistik.hu-berlin.de/de 

Level: PhD 

Duties: Research,Project Work
 
Specialty Areas: Morphology; Semantics; Syntax; Typology 
 

Description:

At the Department of German Language and Linguistics a PhD Position (EGr. 13
TV-L HU, 65%) is available for 2 years beginning immediately in the project
''Typology of the Psych-Alternation in Morphology, Syntax, and Discourse'',
funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG). 

Based on precise empirical methods, the project will investigate the role of
the morphological root of psych verbs and the syntactic and semantic
properties of the morphological processes that occur in cases of
psych-alternations (causativization, decausativization, conversion, double
derivation). In a sample of six languages, which represent different
morphological types of the causative alternation (Icelandic, Finnish, Korean,
Spanish, Chinese, Hungarian), the project will carry out parallel experiments.

We invite applications for a temporary position for 2 years (EGr. 13 TV-L HU,
65%, according to the German public service pay scale), to be filled by a
doctoral student. The researcher is expected to collaborate in the development
of empirical methods (observational and experimental) for the cross-linguistic
study of the psych-alternation, to conduct empirical research in the
abovementioned languages, and to cooperate in the theoretical modelling of the
experimental data. He/she is expected to present the project results in
scientific conferences and to collaborate in publishing them in linguistic
journals.

The ideal candidate should have prior experience in theoretical linguistics
and experimental methods in linguistics ideally related to morphological,
syntactic and/or semantic research questions. Applicants need to have a
master's degree or equivalent in linguistics or a closely related field. The
preparation of a PhD-dissertation on a topic related to the project is
desired. Good command of English is required, knowledge of German as well as
knowledge in one or more of the object languages will be an advantage. 

Candidates are requested to send their applications (cover letter describing
research interests and CV) preferably by E-mail using pdf-documents.

Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that 
they will match any gift you make to a non-profit organization. 
Normally this entails your contacting your human resources department 
and sending us a form that the eLinguistics Foundation fills in and 
returns to your employer. This is generally a simple administrative 
procedure that doubles the value of your gift to LINGUIST, without 
costing you an extra penny. Please take a moment to check if 
your company operates such a program.
