Prominence Fellowship 2022

The Collaborative Research Centre CRC 1252 “Prominence in Language” in
Cologne, Germany, invites applications for short-term fellowships available in
2022: 
- Senior Fellowships 1-3 months (approx. 2,500 Euro per month)
- Junior Fellowships 3-6 months (approx. 1,800 Euro per month)

In the Collaborative Research Centre “Prominence in Language” (CRC 1252,
Sonderforschungsbereich (SFB 1252)) funded by the The Deutsche
Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG, German Research Foundation) researchers from
different fields of linguistics and language studies are collaborating in 20
individual scientific projects. More than 60 researchers investigate how
prominence structures language with respect to prosody (Area A), morphosyntax
and semantics (Area B) as well as text and discourse structure (Area C). The
projects work on a large variety of languages from more than a dozen major
language families and pursue various methodological approaches. Our research
on prominence contributes to a better understanding of language as a system
between communication and cognition. For more information see
https://sfb1252.uni-koeln.de/en/. 

The CRC provides an international and highly innovative research environment
and is well connected to other linguistic research centres in Germany and
abroad.

We invite applications for two types of fellowships:

- Senior Fellowships for experienced researchers (at least 5 years after PhD)
for a duration between 1 and 3 months. We provide office space, access to
libraries, administrative support, support in arranging accommodation and
travelling. The CRC can cover costs up to 2.500 Euro per month for travel,
accommodation and personal allowance. 

- Junior Fellowships for young researchers (doctoral students and researchers
up to 5 years after their PhD) for a duration of 3-6 months. We provide office
space, access to libraries, administrative support, support in arranging
accommodation and traveling. The CRC can cover costs up to 1.800 Euro per
month for travel, accommodation and personal allowance. 

Applicants must choose a suitable host for the time of the fellowship in
advance. Any PI of a current CRC project is eligible to act as host. We expect
the fellow to be well integrated in the research team of one or more projects.

Application procedure:
Please submit a 2-page (maximum) personal statement including an outline of
your research plan for the time of the fellowship. In addition, please provide
your CV and a letter from the PI who is going to host you. All application
documents must be submitted as a single pdf per email to the speaker of the
CRC, Petra Schumacher (petra.schumacher at uni-koeln.de) The application deadline
is January 25, 2022. Applicants will be notified by March 2022.

Applications are evaluated and ranked by the steering committee of the CRC
with respect to the following criteria: scientific quality, thematic matching
of the proposal to the host project as well as diversity.
