Description:

The University of Marburg, founded in 1527, offers a variety of
excellent programs of study for around 22,000 students and confronts
the important topics of our time through excellent research across a
broad spectrum of sciences.
The department of German Studies and Arts, Institute for German
Linguistics & Research Center »Deutscher Sprachatlas«, is currently
accepting applications for a Research Assistant (Doctoral
Researcher/PhD)
The position is offered for a period of 3 years, if no former times of
qualification are to be considered. The starting date is 01.03.2025.
The position is part-time (65% of regular working hours) with salary
and benefits commensurate with a public service position in the state
Hesse, Germany (TV-H E 13, 65%).
The position is available within the Research Training Group “Dynamics
and stability of linguistic representations“ (RTG 2700). The RTG is a
structured program for Ph.D.-students and young researchers. The
scientific goal of the group is to study the mental bases of
linguistic units, their usage, acquisition, development and change. To
this end, several methodological perspectives are taken, e.g. from
Psycho- or Neurolinguistics, Dialectology, Clinical Linguistics,
Historical Linguistics and Pragmatics. We are looking for  a motivated
and excellent student who is willing to integrate his or her research
proposals into Project A2 of the RTG. More detailed information about
this project can be found on the RTG’s website
(https://www.uni-marburg.de/de/fb09/grk-2700/projekte/projekte-kohorte-2).
Tasks:
- include scientific services in research
- realization of a Ph.D.-project within the time of the position
- participation in preparing and actively attending all events of the
RTG
The position is limited to a time period deemed adequate for the
completion of a doctoral degree. As part of the assigned duties, there
will be ample opportunity to conduct the independent scientific
research necessary for the completion of a doctorate. The limitation
complies to § 2, 1 WissZeitVG.
Profile:
- MSc-degree or equivalent in Linguistics, Phonetics, Psychology or
closely related disciplines with a discernible linguistic component
- expertise with empirical linguistic data, independent and thorough
scientific way of working, confidence in preparing scientific texts
and presentations, and knowledge of statistics
- good language skills (written and spoken) in German and English
(comparable to level “B” of the European reference frame)
- further language skills are advantageous
- social competence, willingness for cooperation, high motivation and
high levels of resilience
Disposition to own scientific qualification is expected.
We actively support the professional development of junior researchers
by the offers of Marburg Research Academy (MARA), the International
Office and the Higher Education Didactics Office.
We offer:
- intensive supervision of the doctoral project by two supervisors
- training in social, methodological and scientific skills through
workshops
- introduction to the academic community through guest lectures and
colloquia
- use of the Institute's own laboratories for EEG, eye tracking and
behavioural studies
- access to speech corpora of the research center »Deutscher
Sprachatlas«
- ticket for free use of public transport in the state Hesse, Germany
