Description:

The Collaborative Research Center SFB 1287 “Limits of Variability in Language:
Cognitive, Grammatical, and Social Aspects” in Potsdam, Germany, invites
applications for 17 positions for PhD candidates and Postdocs available from
July 2017 for a duration of four years (subject to funding commitment).

Language users exhibit a high degree of variability at all levels of the
linguistic system, language use, and language development and change. This
variability in language can be characterised as the range of different
possible linguistic behaviours that are available to a language user, a
language community, or in specific languages at any linguistic level. By
exploring the systematicity and the limits of variability in linguistic
behaviours, the main focus of the CRC will be on identifying the constraints
of the underlying linguistic system. Several projects will jointly evaluate
the limits, relations, dependencies, and commonalities of different types of
variability across a range of linguistic phenomena from the perspectives of
(A) language interaction and change, of (B) language processing, and of (C)
grammatical systems. The CRC provides a fantastic research infrastructure
including a large interdisciplinary network of researchers, its own graduate
school, and funding opportunities for conference visits, summer schools,
hosting international experts etc.

The University of Potsdam hosts leading groups in the field of linguistics and
cognitive sciences
(http://www.uni-potsdam.de/en/cognitive-sciences/index.html). Potsdam is an
attractive historical city and its palaces are a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Potsdam is close to Berlin, a culturally vibrant city and home to a lively
start-up scene. Both cities have a high quality of life at modest living
costs.
