Description:

The Institute of Linguistics at the University of Bern invites applications
for one doctoral researcher in our project investigating the diachrony of
evidentiality and egophoricity cross-linguistically. The doctoral researcher
is expected to thoroughly document the verbal system of one or more
lesser-studied languages that contribute to our understanding of the processes
shaping such distinctions. The languages that have played the most significant
role in the discussion so far are spoken in Papua New Guinea, the Himalayas
and the Americas, so some familiarity with them and/or the areas would be a
plus. 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.
 
Terms of employment: Full-time four-year contract (starting date: as soon as
possible, ideally 01 May 2020), with a salary according to SNSF guidelines:

Applications must include a curriculum vitae, a cover letter with a clear
statement of research interests and a detailed description of research skills,
a sample of written work, and the names of three referees.
