Description:

The Department of English (Section: Linguistics) invites applications
for a PhD fellowship (100%) commencing on February 1st, 2025 (or
later). The position is part of a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Doctoral
Network funded by the European Commission that investigates Spatial
Communication and Ageing across Languages (SCALA). The project at the
Friedrich-Schiller-University Jena is concerned with “Egocentric
spatial language across ages and generations”. For more information on
the position and the network see https://scala-project.eu/

Using methods from corpus and computational linguistics, the project
will examine how different types of spatial expressions are used and
organized in a variety of languages and how they develop from early
childhood to old age. The doctoral candidate must have a solid
background in corpus- and/or computational linguistics and should be
familiar with advanced statistical methods.

-  You will use methods of corpus- and computational linguistics to
investigate the use of spatial expressions in different languages and
their development across the lifespan from early childhood to old age.
-  You will enroll in the PhD program of the
Friedrich-Schiller-University Jena and will describe the results of
your research in a doctoral thesis.
- You will attend the regular meetings of the doctoral network and
will spend some time at one of the partner universities during a
secondment.

Eligibility: At the time of recruitment, the candidate must not have
resided or carried out his/her main activity (work, studies, etc.) in
Germany for more than 12 months in the last 3 years. Short stays such
as vacations and/or national service are not taken into account. If
