Description:

Please note that the following is an abridged version of the advert - the full
text is available at: www.fsk.uni-trier.de

Applications are invited for a post-doc research fellowship in the joint
research project 'Patterns. Linguistic Creativity and Variation in Synchrony
and Diachrony' at Trier University, Germany, funded by the
Rhineland-Palatinate research intiative 2019-2023. The fellowship is for one
year in the first instance with the option of a twelve-month extension.

The joint project brings together a broad range of interdisciplinary research
in the Linguistics departments at Trier University (English Studies, German
Studies, Classical Philology, Yid-dish Studies, Romance Studies, Sinology,
Slavic Studies, Computational Linguistics and Phonetics), at the same time
interfacing with neighbouring disciplines such as  Media Studies, Psychology
and Statistics. The aim of the research programme is, on the basis of a quite
deliberately broad-based pattern concept, to conduct empirical research beyond
established disciplinary boundaries, and to develop an applicable theory of
linguistic patterning. 

The Trier project is distinguished by 1) the variety of languages
investigated, 2) the combination of the diachronic and synchronic
perspectives, 3) the plurality of me-thods (quantitative, qualitative,
experimental), and 4) the thematic design, whereby the focus is not on either
patterning or creativity and variation, but on the interplay between all three
aspects.

The fellowship is available for a research project in one of the areas
described above. In the first year the stipendiary is expected to draw up and
submit an application for external fun-ding for his/her own project (e.g. in
the format  DFG  (German Research Foundation) Research Grant/ own position/
early-career research group or similar). If approved, the project will be
based in Trier. Interdisciplinary projects are particularly welcome. 

Requirements are a PhD in Linguistics in one of the subjects above as well as
relevant publications in the field of pattern research.

The fellowship is €1,900 a month, supplemented by initial funding for the
project set-up (support staff, travel expenses etc.). Child allowance is
payable in accordance with DFG regulations at €400 for the first child,
increasing by €100 per month for each further child. For those eligible see
§2, section 1 of the Federal Law on Family Allowances.

Applicants should submit the following:
- CV with details of academic career
- List of publications
- Copies of school and university diplomas
- Exposé of the applicant´s research project (approx. 5 pages including time
schedule and plan of work, in either English or German) clearly indicating how
it is related to the overall theme of the joint project
- The names and contact information of two potential referees, who would be
willing to write a report on the applicant´s qualifications and academic
potential.
