Description:

SOAS, University of London is the world’s leading institution for the study of
Asia, Africa and the Middle East, offering programmes in arts, humanities,
languages, law and social sciences. Inaugurated in June 1916, SOAS has had an
international reach since the arrival of its first students in February 1917
and is celebrating its Centenary in 2016.   

SOAS Department of Linguistics is seeking to appoint a Postdoctoral Research
Assistant whose duties will be in conducting research on AHRC-funded project
“Prominent Possessors” under the direction of Professor Irina Nikolaeva as
Principal Investigator. The project involves a close cooperation with the
University of Surrey. Its aim is to investigate a number of unusual possessive
constructions from a theoretical and cross-linguistic perspective, collect new
data from little studied related and unrelated languages, and compile a
typological database of relevant phenomena.  Further details can be found at
https://www.soas.ac.uk/linguistics/prominent-possessors/

Applicants should hold a PhD in Linguistics. Expertise in syntactic theory and
typology, and a strong research background as evidenced by an excellent
publication record are essential. The successful candidate will have fieldwork
experience, and previous experience of designing/using databases will be an
advantage. 

Also required are an ability to work independently in an organised and
methodical manner, excellent written and oral communication skills, and strong
teamwork and interpersonal skills. 
 
This post is fixed-term for 23 months, and starts on 1st November 2016 or as
soon as possible thereafter.
