A PhD candidate is sought for the Documenting Languages and

The position includes a full-time PhD position (approximately EUR
2,200 gross per month) for 36 months, fieldwork expenses (field trips

commencement date is 01/09/2025.

 - MA in General Linguistics or a closely related field
 - Interest in interdisciplinary research and/or in fields such as
child language acquisition, anthropological linguistics,

 - Very good proficiency in spoken and written English
 - Willingness to learn Indonesian, during the PhD, to facilitate
field research
 - Ability to work with small children
 - Ability to carry out independent field research
 - Demonstrated skills in cross-cultural communication
