Description:
Call: 12 PhD positions within the Research Training Group (RTG) “Form-Meaning
Mismatches”, starting on 1st September 2021 for a period of 3 years.
This RTG, funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG), offers a structured
3-year doctoral program for students of linguistics and/or related fields
working on the overarching question as to how morphosyntactic structures are
mapped onto meaning. Salary is according to the German public salary scale
TV-L 13 (65 % of the regular weekly working hours - currently 25.87
hours/week).
For more information on RTG, please visit
https://www.uni-goettingen.de/form-meaning-mismatches. The RTG covers all core
areas of linguistics: grammatical theory (morphology, syntax, semantics,
pragmatics), linguistic variation including sign languages, language change,
language processing and language acquisition. Facilities are available for a
wide-range of research methods including corpus studies, experimentation,
linguistic fieldwork and computational modeling. candidates working in
generative frameworks, categorial grammar, constraint-based grammar
(HPSG/LFG), functional grammar, among others, are encouraged to apply.
Each graduate student will work on a research project that fits in within the
overall theme of the RTG. Applicants can choose a research topic of their own,
as long as the proposal fits the RTG’s guiding idea, or select one of the
suggested projects. Suggested PhD projects can be found at
https://www.uni-goettingen.de/de/suggested+projects/636208.html.
Applicants are expected to have a completed academic degree in one or more of
the following fields or in a related subject: linguistics, general
linguistics, (modern/historical) languages/philology, computational
linguistics/computer science, cognitive science, psychology/psycholinguistics,
or philosophy. They are expected to hold a Master’s degree (or equivalent). In
addition, advanced command of English is required. German language skills are
not required but encouraged. Candidates who have not finished their MA program
by the date of the submission should deliver a declaration by their
supervisor(s) that the degree will be obtained prior to the start of the RTG
positions.
The University of Göttingen is an equal opportunities employer and places
particular emphasis on fostering career opportunities for women. Qualified
women are therefore strongly encouraged to apply in fields in which they are
underrepresented. The University has committed itself to being a
family-friendly institution and supports their employees in balancing work and
family life. The mission of the University is to employ a greater number of
severely disabled persons. Applications from severely disabled persons with
equivalent qualifications will be given preference.
Applicants should send, in a single pdf file named “PhD position + family name
of applicant”, an application containing:
- A letter of motivation, in which they elaborate their ambitions, scientific
interests and how they consider fitting in the RTG’s overall research goals
and the scientific community in Göttingen in general. In this letter, the
applicants should also indicate whether they intend to explore one of the
suggested projects or whether they intend to carry out a project based on a
proposal of their own (within the scientific range of the RTG)
- An academic CV
- Scans of the documents indicating academic degrees (or the supervisor
declaration)
- A copy of the Master’s thesis (or a representative chapter of the thesis or
a paper)
- The contact details of two academic referees
