University or Organization: University of Bern
Job Location: Bern, Switzerland
Job Title: Associate/Full Professor in General Linguistics at the
University of Bern
Job Rank: Associate Professor, Full Professor

Specialty Areas: General Linguistics

Description:

The University of Bern invites applications for an extraordinary
(associate) or ordinary (full) professorship (100%) in

General Linguistics
at the Institute of Linguistics, to start August 1, 2025.

Applicants are expected to teach representative topics covering the
field of general linguistics, and to carry out research primarily on
languages outside Europe and the Indo-European family. The successful
candidate pursues innovative approaches in linguistic theorization
that directly connect to sociolinguistic research questions. Their
research should be based on detailed analysis of primary field work
data. While taking an approach in usage-based and typological
linguistics, the successful candidate should cover different subfields
to complement the existing expertise in morphosyntax.

Active participation in efforts to connect the linguistic disciplines
at the University of Bern and to help develop common resources is
expected. This includes the Center for the Study of Language and
Society at the Walter Benjamin Kolleg, as well as the philologies. The
successful candidate builds a bridge between general linguistic and
sociolinguistic research at the University of Bern.

As co-director of the institute, the successful candidate is expected
to be involved in academic administration; therefore, a good working
knowledge of German is indispensable. Previous experience in
negotiating external funding of research projects is essential.

The University of Bern is committed to equal opportunities and the
promotion of diversity in employment. In particular, it strives to
increase the number of women in senior academic positions and supports
job sharing and dual-career hiring. The Faculty of Humanities welcomes
applications from people with disabilities, People of Color, and
people who, in the Swiss context, are from ethnic minority
backgrounds.

Date of Appointment: August 1, 2025

Working Time: 100% (full time; job-sharing is possible)

Job Location: Bern, Switzerland.

Application Deadline: 01-Dec-2024
