Description:

Information about the institution/department:
The Department of Philosophy, Linguistics and Theory of Science (FLoV) at the
University of Gothenburg is home to a large number of national and
international research projects and offers courses and degree programs for
philosophers, logicians, linguists, language technologists, theorists of
science, historians of philosophy, philologists and philosophy teachers.

Linguistics is a subject authorised to award qualifications at all levels,
including in third-cycle studies. At the department, there is also the Centre
for Linguistic Theory and Studies in Probability (CLASP), funded by a 10-year
grant from the Swedish Research Council (2015-2025). CLASP is devoted to
research and advanced training in the application of probabilistic modelling
and machine learning methods to core issues in linguistic theory and
cognition.

The department offers an international English-speaking research environment.
The research is interdisciplinary and aims at bringing together insights from
various fields such as logic, mathematics, computer science, artificial
intelligence, linguistics, computational linguistics, cognitive science,
philology, and philosophy.

Job description:
The current position is within the area of Linguistics at the department.
Linguistic interaction is the main overarching theme for research in
linguistics at FLoV. The focus is on conversational dialogue as a research
topic within psycholinguistics, sociolinguistics, semantics and pragmatics,
and language technology/computational linguistics. The ideal candidate should
be motivated to develop an original PhD thesis project in any single or
combination of these fields.

We will fund one well-qualified and highly motivated candidate to carry out
research using experimental and/or formal methods on any of the following
general topics in relation to dialogue modelling and/or grammar design:
- Incremental processing in conversation 
- Multimodal phenomena 
- Theories of joint action and linguistic meaning 
- Context and common ground
- Probabilistic models of inference and linguistic processing 
- Dialogue acts
- Turn-taking 

We are looking for candidates who have solid prior experience in linguistics
(syntax, semantics, pragmatics), psycholinguistics, or computational
linguistics. More particularly, demonstrable ability and experience in the
modelling of, or experimentation with dialogue phenomena is highly desirable.
The candidate should be able to provide evidence of the ability for conducting
original independent research. Candidates with an interdisciplinary background
are particularly encouraged to apply.
