Description:

The Institute of Linguistics at the University of Bern invites applications
for two doctoral researchers whose main task is to thoroughly document the
verbal systems of lesser-studied indigenous languages of the New Guinea
Highlands and who are keen to give diachronic-functional explanations for
synchronic irregularities and inter-language divergences. Applicants must have
completed an M.A. degree in linguistics or equivalent by the time of
application. All candidates must have advanced skills in oral and written
English. Fluency in Tok Pisin or another lingua franca of the region is a
plus, but not necessary.

2020), with a salary according to SNSF guidelines:
