Web Address: http://www.crosslingference.uni-tuebingen.de/ 

Level: PhD 

Duties: Research
 
Specialty Areas: Computational Linguistics; Historical Linguistics; Typology 
 

Description:

Applications are invited for a PhD position (m/f/d, 65% employment,
Entgeltgruppe 13 TV-L) in the Linguistics Department, working with Prof.
Gerhard Jäger. This vacancy is connected to the award of an ERC Advanced
Grant, entitled "CrossLingference – Cross-linguistic statistical inference
using hierarchical Bayesian models", for the period 2019-24.

The project will be based at the University of Tübingen. In total, the group
will consist of four postdoctoral researchers, four PhD students, and several
student assistants. The principal activity of the researcher will be to pursue
a PhD research project in one or two of the work packages mentioned on the
project homepage (https://uni-tuebingen.de/en/163612).

A solid background, including a Master's degree (or equivalent) in a relevant
discipline, in one of the two research areas is required:
- Statistical modeling, especially Bayesian approaches 
- Historical-comparative linguistics and typology

Expertise in both areas would be ideal; otherwise the successful applicant is
expected to actively engage in the collaborative efforts of the project and to
acquire the necessary skills.

The Linguistics Department (http://www.sfs.uni-tuebingen.de/) and the Center
for Advanced Studies "Words, Bones, Genes, Tools"
(http://www.wordsandbones.uni-tuebingen.de/) offer a stimulating
interdisciplinary research environment with the opportunity of completing a
PhD degree.

The period of employment will be for 4 years.

Applications should include CV, an outline of research experience, as well as
names and addresses of up to three references. Applications should be sent by
email to the address below. The position will be filled as soon as possible.
Deadline for applications is September 30, 2020.

Disabled applicants will be preferred if they have the same qualifications as
non-disabled applicants. The University of Tübingen strives to increase the
proportion of women in research and teaching, and therefore encourages
qualified female scientists to apply.

Please send your application electronically as a single pdf file to
gerhard.jaeger at uni-tuebingen.de.

The contract will be made by the central administration of the university.
