Description:

The project Self-Addressed Questions offers a 3-year PhD position in
linguistics/semantics at the University of Konstanz, starting by April 2019 or
earlier. The project is part of the research unit Nonstandard Questions at the
Interfaces hosted by the linguistics department at Konstanz University. 

The project investigates the syntax, meaning and pragmatics of questions that
do not explicitly ask for an answer. Special focus will be on Japanese and the
project work program anticipates a field trip to Japan (Aoyama Gakuin
University) to collect data. The project proposal will be sent to you on
request. 
The linguistic department at the University of Konstanz offers a lively and
internationally well-connected research environment. Students are integrated
in academic life and research at all levels. The research unit offers PhD
students a panel to discuss their topics with fellow students; we offer
funding for PhD students to attend international workshops and conferences in
order to present their results. The region with lake Constance, the Alps and
medieval town offers an attractive habitat for life and research.

As an ideal candidate you 
- hold an MA in linguistics or related fields (philosophy, logic, mathematics)
- are acquainted with some core area of formal linguistics
- are willing to learn the basics of formal semantic theory
- are open to explore Japanese or other new languages
Basic knowledge of Japanese or formal semantics is not mandatory but will be
considered a plus. 

The envisaged starting date is April 2019 (pending on final approval). You are
welcome to contact me if you have further questions.

Please send your application and CV and one written piece of work (MA-thesis,
paper or PhD expose) by January 20, 2019 to Dr. Regine Eckardt:
regine.eckardt at uni-konstanz.de.
