Job Title: Postdoc in Theoretical or Experimental Linguistics

Description:
The Center for Cognitve Science of Language at the University of Nova
Gorica invites applications for a position of postdoctoral researcher
in theoretical or experimental linguistics. The successful candidate
is expected to contribute to one or both of the following topics:
1. Multifunctionality in morphology, specifically, the nature of
(derivational) affixes that can appear in different, seemingly
unrelated contexts, and seem to have little meaning of their own. The
overall goal of this research is to build a unified model that will
explain what type of elements these affixes are, for which we take
Slovenian as an ideal source of data to achieve this. For more see
here:

(PI: prof. dr. Petra Mišmaš)
2. Syntactic, morphological, and phonological properties of clitics in
Czech and Slovenian, in the context of a project that will design and
conduct a series of experiments testing the behavior of clitics in the
two languages with the aim of providing robust novel evidence about
the nature of clitics from both a general linguistic perspective and
the perspective of Slavic linguistics. For more see here:
https://www.ung.si/en/research/center-for-cognitive-science-of-language/projects/n6-0314/.
(PI: prof. dr. Franc Marušič)
The candidate will work as part of a team, joining other members of
the Center working on the above topics under the guidance of the lead
investigator of the specific topic. They are expected to contribute
both in the designing and conducting of the research tasks as well as
in the scientific reporting of the research results. Depending on the
needs of the university, the candidate may also be asked to take on
moderate teaching obligations and administrative duties in the
university's linguistics programs.
The appointment is planned to start as soon as the selection procedure
has been completed. The successful candidates will be employed on a
full-time basis for a fixed term starting with the date of the
appointment and ending on December 31st, 2025.
