Description:

Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg
Research Training Group Dimensions of Constructional Space
The DFG-funded Research Training Group Dimensions of Constructional
Space at the Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg is
looking for 13 doctoral researchers to work on a variety of projects
within the Construction Grammar framework.
The early-career researchers involved in the RTG will benefit from a
structured research training program comprising a winter school, three
bootcamps, and regular seminars and research group meetings as well as
a variety of optional courses, international placement opportunities,
and individual coaching. The qualification program is designed to
recruit high quality doctoral candidates and to provide them with a
solid foundation in linguistic theory and research methods. Each
doctoral candidate will have two supervisors from different
disciplines or methodological approaches and one or two additional
advisors (one of whom will normally be associated with a research
group outside of Germany). Candidates will also gain experience
working in an interdisciplinary context, acquire a variety of
transferrable skills and have opportunities to develop an extensive
network of international contacts, all of which will prepare them for
careers both within and outside of academia. 
All the groups' activities will be conducted in English, so knowledge
of German is not required (except for projects which specifically
involve the German language).
You have:
 - a master’s degree in linguistics or a related discipline (or, for
project 9, MSc in computer science, neuroimaging, physics or biology)
 - previous academic experience relevant to the project
 - ability to work independently and as part of a team
 - fluency in English
We offer:
 - funding for 3 years (65%, E13, i.e. approx. €3000 per month before
tax) starting 1 October 2025
 - cutting-edge research in the Construction Grammar framework
 - excellent supervision
 - structured degree programme
Applications should be in English and should contain the following:
 - an academic CV
 - a cover letter explaining how you meet the recruitment criteria,
which project you are applying for, why you are interested in this
particular project, and where appropriate, up to two additional
projects that you would like to be considered for
 - an academic writing sample in English (e. g. MA dissertation,
essay, or a review of the literature relevant to the project)
 - details (name, affiliation, email, and relationship to you) of 2-3
academic referees
Informal enquiries and applications for the positions should be
submitted by email to project-cxgram at fau.de.
The subject line should have the following format:
Application PhD project XX (alternatively, project YY and ZZ) – please
insert project number as appropriate.

Application Deadline: 04-May-2025
