project and advance the methodology of highly multilingual quantitative text
analysis.

We are looking for a motivated researcher with excellent technical background

completed a Master’s level degree in computational linguistics or a related
discipline (formal linguistics, mathematics, data science, computer science).
Applicants with the main background in linguistics will demonstrate their
interest and experience in quantitative text analysis. Applicants with the
main background in other related disciplines will demonstrate their interest
and experience in the study of language.

We offer excellent working conditions, interdisciplinary supervision, a
stimulating environment and Zurich’s high quality of life.

To apply, send your curriculum vitae, a one-page research statement,
transcripts, and contact details for two referees (including e-mail addresses)
in a single PDF document, and with reference “TextPhD”, to
bewerbungen at spur.uzh.ch by 15 May 2018. Your research statement should address
the topic of morphological diversity and demonstrate your ability to formulate
feasible research questions. For further questions, contact Tanja Samardžić at
