From: Sabine Arndt-Lappe [arndtlappe at uni-trier.de]
Subject: General Linguistics: Postdoctoral Researcher & Scientific Coordinator Position in Linguistics, Universität Trier, Trier, Germany

University or Organization: Universität Trier 
Department: Fachbereich II - Patterns research group
Job Location: Trier, Germany 
Web Address: https://patterns.uni-trier.de/?lang=en
Job Title: Postdoctoral Researcher & Scientific Coordinator Position in Linguistics
Job Rank: Post Doc

Specialty Areas: General Linguistics 

Description:

The research program Patterns. Linguistic Creativity and Variation in
Synchrony and Diachrony is a collaborative, interdisciplinary research project
funded by the Forschungsinitiative Rheinland-Pfalz 2019-2023, and carried out
by researchers in Linguistics, Communication and Media studies, and related
fields across different departments at Trier University (English, German,
Romance, Slavic language departments; Computational Linguistics; Phonetics;
Media Studies; Cognitive Psychology; Survey Statistics). The project has an
excellent infrastructure and network for the support of early-career
researchers. More information about the program can be found here:
https://patterns.uni-trier.de/about-us/?lang=en

The position is to be filled as soon as possible, and will be limited to
12/2023. 

Your tasks: 
You will be working on tasks that are suitable for promoting your
qualifications to pursue a career in academia. Apart from being an active
researcher in a domain relevant to our project and an active member of our
research team, you will take on responsibilities in the scientific
coordination of the research group, as part of a coordination team. These
tasks will involve, e.g., supporting and coordinating internal and external
communication, supporting third-party funding proposals and scientific
collaborations, co-organising regular ECR meetings, or coordinating a team of
student assistants. You will also be expected to teach one class (2 hrs a
week) per semester, on a topic that is related to your research. 
Ideally, you will submit your own research proposal to a third-party funding
organisation during the time of the contract (e.g., in the DFG’s ‘Eigene
Stelle’ format). We offer you support and mentoring in all research-related
activities within the realm of the Patterns project, as well as a vibrant
interdisciplinary and friendly working environment.

Qualifications: 
 - a Master’s degree in linguistics (or a closely related field)
 - a doctoral degree / PhD and a sound publication record in linguistics
(German, English, Romance linguistics; computational linguistics; phonetics),
in a domain that is within the realm of our Patterns project (cf. our
website).
 - an excellent research plan for the time of the contract
 - professional experience in areas that are relevant to the coordination
tasks listed above
 - a good command of English and German (near native in one of these
languages)

Disabled candidates with appropriate qualifications will be given priority.
Trier University aims to increase the quota of women in research and teaching,
and explicitly encourages female academics to apply.
Please send your application (in German or English) in one single pdf file to
Sabine Arndt-Lappe or to Katharina Zahner-Ritter. Your application should
include a cover letter, a CV with details of your academic career and two
potential referees, your list of publications, a short exposé (max. 2 pages)
of your planned research project and its relation to our research project
(including potential collaborators in the Patterns research group), and copies
of school and university diplomas.

Application Deadline: 25-Mar-2022
