Job Title: Post-doc position : Experimental semantics or syntax
Job Rank: Post Doc

Specialty Areas: Semantics; Syntax; theoritical semantics, empirical methods, statistics


Description:

The Labex EFL (Empirical Foundations of Linguisitics,
http://www.labex-efl.org/) recruits a postdoctoral researcher. It is a full
time position for 12 months. Depending on the results, the position may be
renewed for another 12 months.
Job location: Laboratoire de Linguistique Formelle, Paris.

The position is provided by the strand « Experimental Grammar » of the Labex
EFL project.

The postdoctoral fellow is expected to have knowledge of  theoretical
semantics, as well as empirical methods: annotated corpora, experiments, and
statistics. S/He is expected to design experiments for several languages. The
lab has an experimental room, a lab assistant as well as experimental material
(eyetracker, SMI glasses, portable EEG…)

The applicant will propose a research program inside the following workpackage
PLU : Plurality and quantification (resp. Carmen Dobrovie Sorin, see contact
information below) 

The project should bear on the analysis of the mass/count distinction, plural
and mass quantification from a crosslinguistic perspective :
- distributive operators and pluralization ;
- co-distributivity markers (e.g., binominal each/chacun in English and
French, jeweils in German, numeral doubling in Hungarian, nga in Albanian,
cîte in Romanian, etc.) 
- bare plurals and dependant plurals ;
- free choice items and pluralities ;
- morphological plural marking (on the verb or on the noun) and semantic
plurality ;
- mass and plural quantification ;
- plural events, plural individuals and plural arguments.

Two or three experiences related to the theoretical project should be
described and clearly planned by a detailed schedule.

The applicant will have to demonstrate an exceptional research potential and
contact the coordinator of the work package when writing her project. A good
knowledge of French is an additional asset and the applicant must have
defended his/her Phd by January 31st 2017. 

Prospective applicants should send:
- A curriculum vitae including publications
- A research project (max 4 pages)
- Names of two referents (with email address)
- A website address where the publications can be downloaded.
