The Collaborative Research Centre CRC 1252 “Prominence in Language” at
the University of Cologne in Germany invites applications for
short-term fellowships available between April and December 2025. We
invite applications for two types of fellowships:

(1) Senior Fellowships for experienced international researchers (at
least 5 years after PhD) who will reside in Cologne for a duration of
1 to 3 months. The CRC can cover 2,500 Euro per month for travel,
accommodation and personal allowance.

(2) Junior Fellowships for young international researchers (doctoral
students and researchers up to 5 years after their PhD) who will
reside in Cologne for a duration of 3-6 months. The CRC can cover
1,800 Euro per month for travel, accommodation and personal allowance.

In the Collaborative Research Centre “Prominence in Language” (CRC
1252, Sonderforschungsbereich (SFB 1252)) funded by the Deutsche
Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG, German Research Foundation) researchers
from different fields of linguistics and language studies are
collaborating in 20 individual scientific projects. More than 60
researchers investigate how prominence structures language with
respect to prosody (Area A), morphosyntax and semantics (Area B) as
well as text and discourse structure (Area C). The projects work on a
large variety of languages from more than a dozen major language
families and pursue various methodological approaches. Our research on
prominence contributes to a better understanding of language as a
system between communication and cognition. For more information see
https://sfb1252.uni-koeln.de/en/.

The CRC provides an international and highly innovative research
environment and is well connected to other linguistic research centres
in Germany and abroad. Fellows will be offered office space, access to
libraries, administrative support, as well as support in arranging
accommodation and travelling.

Application procedure:
Applicants must choose a suitable host for the time of the fellowship
in advance. Any Project leader (PL) of a current CRC project is
eligible to act as host. We expect the fellow to be well integrated in
the research team of one or more projects. The host should be
identified and contacted in advance, i.e. before submitting your
application (including a letter from the PL willing to host you).
Please submit a 2-page (maximum) personal statement including an
outline of your research plan for the stay in Cologne. In addition,
please provide your CV and a letter from the PL who is going to host
you.
All application documents must be submitted as a single pdf per email
to the coordinator of the CRC, Dr. Christine Röhr
(application-sfb1252 at uni-koeln.de). The application deadline is
January 20th, 2025.
Applications are evaluated and ranked by the management committee of
the CRC with respect to the following criteria: scientific quality,
thematic matching of the proposal to the host project as well as
diversity. Applicants will be notified about the decision in February
2025.
