Description:

The Fryske Akademy and the University of Amsterdam offer one PhD position for

looking for an interesting workplace where you can conduct independent
research and where interest in the Frisian language is linked to contemporary

access to a strong, international research environment as well as specialist
knowledge about Fryslân and the Frisian language. You write a dissertation in
four years. Four possible research projects can be found in the project
description 'The Remarkable Resilience of Frisian' (see link), but you can
also come up with your own project proposal.

We are looking for candidates who are well versed in the Frisian language –
for some projects at a native level – and who have a background in or a clear
affinity with linguistics (historical linguistics/ philology, phonology/
phonetics, language variation, language sociology/ sociolinguistics) or
literature. Candidates with a primarily computational/ digital humanities
background and affinity with the Frisian language can also apply.

Job requirements:
 - a master's degree with excellent grades in a relevant field;
 - required language skills: see the project descriptions;
 - excellent academic writing and oral skills;
 - good social and organizational skills;
 - great interest in a scientific career.
Additional requirements for each project can be found in the project
description.
