There is an opening for a PhD position within the newly formed Cluster of

PhD research project in the subcluster “Social differentiation and
inequalities”

13PhD Doctoral Position: Socio-linguistic methods and material culture
Profile: Historical Linguistics, Methods of Quantitative Linguistics,
Sociolinguistics
The successful candidate shall conduct work on linguistic aspects of social
stratification in North India from a historical perspective, with special
reference to the eastern Ganges Basin. She/He will work in close cooperation
with scholars from both general linguistics as well as from archaeology,
taking not only theoretical sociolinguistic aspects of historical language
stratification into account but also aspects of material culture. Research
will address these aspects in different social and economic groups from this
region, e.g. hunter and gatherer societies (or social groups which until
recently fell within this group and have since changed to a more sedentary
lifestyle), farming communities, and others.

Integration into the research agenda of ‘ROOTS of social inequality’ is
expected as well as co-operation with other subclusters. The position offers
for cooperation with the Doctoral Positions 12PhD, 16PhD, 17PhD, 18PhD as well
as with the Research Associate Position 08RA.

Required qualifications: Eligible candidates must hold an outstanding
university degree (MA or equivalent) in General Linguistics, Indo-European
Linguistics or in a related linguistic field with a focus on historical
linguistics. The successful candidate will have a keen interest in historical
linguistics, which can also be demonstrated by his / her publications, and
will be familiar with various quantitative methods in linguistics.
Complementary expertise in historical sociolinguistics and/or in the area of
language contact will be an asset. Knowledge of a modern South Asian language
is desirable and/or the willingness to obtain a basic knowledge of spoken and
written Hindi within the first six months of the grant.
