Description:

Description:
The Faculty of Modern Languages (FB 10), Goethe University Frankfurt,
Linguistics/Semantics invites applications for 1 PhD position (E13 TV-G-U, 65%
part-time) starting from June 1st 2019 (a later start is possible). The
position is initially limited until November 30th 2019 and can be extended
until September 30th 2020 (and, subject to funding, beyond that) as a 50% (E13
TV-G-U) part-time position. It is part of the project The Pragmatic Status of
Iconic Meaning in Spoken Communication: Gestures, Ideophones, Prosodic
Modulations (PSIMS) (https://www.xprag.de/?page_id=4751) of the Priority
Program XPrag.de.

Responsibilities: 
The position involves participation in the research activities of the project,
which investigates the pragmatic status of iconic meanings in the three
dimensions gesture, ideophones, and prosodic modulations. The main aim of the
project lies in the development of formal semantic theories and empirical
evaluations of those by experiments and corpus work. 
Responsibilities include particularly research on formal gesture semantics and
the conception, execution, and evaluation of psycholinguistic experiments.
Close cooperation with the other part of the research team at the
Leibniz-Zentrum Allgemeine Sprachwissenschaft in Berlin, including a PhD
student working on phonetic/phonological aspects of iconicity, is required.

Application Requirements: 
Applicants are expected to have an excellent academic degree (Master/Diploma)
in linguistics or a related field. A good command of written and spoken
English is mandatory, and German would be an advantage. They should have
experience in formal semantics and pragmatics and experience with
psycholinguistic methods is desirable. The candidate should enjoy working in
an independent and pro-active manner.

Required documents (in English or German): 
- Letter of motivation; 
- Curriculum Vitae (CV); 
- Certificates; 
- Name of two references. 

All required documents for the application should be emailed as one single pdf
file to Cornelia Ebert (ebert at lingua.uni-frankfurt.de). Applications will be
considered as they arrive. The final deadline for applications is May 15th
2019. 
 

Application Deadline: 15-May-2019
