Level: MA / MSc

Specialty Areas: General Linguistics

Description:

The Leibniz-Centre General Linguistics (ZAS) invites applications for
TWO PhD research positions in general linguistics. The positions
require an M.A. degree (or equivalent) and can be awarded initially
for THREE years for candidates with no prior work towards a doctoral
degree.

Candidates who have done prior work towards a doctoral degree should
state the number of months required for completion in their
application letter. The position is compensated at pay level 65%
TVöD-E13, and the selected applicant should start the position between
September 1st, 2024 and January 1, 2025.  Residency in or close to
Berlin is required during the time of employment.

Candidates are invited to define a research topic for their
dissertation that they feel a strong desire to pursue with the support
of the current ZAS staff and facilities. The research topic of the
dissertation should contribute to one or more of the current research
themes at ZAS (see
https://www.leibniz-zas.de/en/research/research-themes/). One of ZAS’s
objectives is to prepare PhD candidates for careers within academia as
well as other professional spheres.

Additional skill development outside of ZAS (e.g. training schools,
internships, coteaching) can also be supported by ZAS if necessary.
The committee of the dissertation should include qualified members of
the ZAS staff but can also include outside researchers.

Applicants should send an application containing the following in a
single pdf or zip file named [last name of applicant] - ZASPhD:

(a) An APPLICATION LETTER of maximally three pages describing the
candidate's motivation to pursue a PhD in linguistics as well as a
planned dissertation topic, its current state and steps and resources
needed to develop the dissertation. At least one paragraph should
furthermore specify which of the current research themes the
dissertation project relates to. If already known, the application
letter should specify planned supervisors or committee members of the
dissertation.

(b) An ACADEMIC CV including a list of presentations, publications and
other works (e.g., web sites, apps, organizing activities) providing
evidence of incipient research capacity.

(c) Up to THREE PUBLICATIONS or term papers that support the
application.

(d) Scans of all relevant transcripts and degree CERTIFICATES.

(e) SUPPORTING LETTER(s) by at least one established researcher
involved in the applicant's academic education. The letters can also
be sent by the referees in a separate email to
bewerbung at leibniz-zas.de.

The PDF or ZIP file should be sent by e-mail with 'ZAS PhD Position'
in the subject line to bewerbung at leibniz-zas.de by the deadline.
Applications will be acknowledged within three working days and
applicants are requested to contact ZAS otherwise.

ZAS is a member of the Leibniz Association. It is a public research
institute located in Berlin and funded by the German federal and
Berlin state governments with a mission to understand the human
capacity for language. In addition to its institutional funding, ZAS
currently hosts several research grants resulting in a total staff of
over 40 researchers and 25 support staff, many visitors and a lively
internal discussion culture within and across its four research areas.
In 2023, ZAS moved to newly built premises at Pariser Str. 1 in
Berlin, which offer a modern work space. ZAS is certified for ensuring
family-friendly working conditions by the audit "berufundfamilie". ZAS
strives to strengthen gender balance and diversity of staff in all
working areas and at all scientific levels. Members of groups
traditionally underrepresented in German academic positions as well as
in science support positions are particularly encouraged to apply. All
applicants will be considered for employment regardless of ethnicity,
religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin,
age, or disability status. English is used for research communication
within ZAS.
