They should have experience in formal semantics and pragmatics, as well as
psycholinguistic methods. A good command of English is mandatory. Knowledge of
German or Mandarin is not required, but is a plus.

strives to work towards a gender balance in schools or departments where new
appointments are made. 

If equally qualified candidates apply, preference will be given to those with
special needs.
