Description:

The following position is available in the newly established
Collaborative Research Center 1718 “Common Ground: Cognition – Grammar
– Communication” (funded by the German Research Foundation, DFG) at
the University of Tübingen.
PhD Researcher in Linguistics (m/f/d, E13 TV-L, 75%)
The position begins 1st October 2025 (or shortly after) and ends 30th
June 2029.
The position is within project A3 “Common Ground Make-Up: Attitudes
and Types of Propositional Information” with project leader Kalle
Müller (German Department). The aim of the project is to empirically
investigate and linguistically model the effects of uncertain
information on the common ground. In particular, it studies the role
and effect of epistemic and evidential marking and seeks to explore
the viability of alternative, non-Stalnakerian models of Common
Ground.
Topics of concern are for example:
- How do attitudes vary across different discourse participants and
across different pieces of information?
- How are discourse participants’ beliefs effected by different
marking of information quality?
- What is the role of non-at-issueness for information typing?
The candidate should have finished their Masters degree in a related
field of Linguistics by the start date of the project. They are
expected to be fluent in German and English. Experience in
experimental and/or corpus work is welcome. The project leader will
guide the research, and offer frequent support, advice, and
consultation. The CRC offers an exceptionally rich research
environment with excellent opportunities to work together with many
other linguists on topics across the field, exchange with many other
PhD students, and methodological support. These posts therefore offer
the ideal entry point to an academic career in linguistics.
Your application can be submitted in German or English and should
consist of the master’s thesis (if not completed, parts of it), a
short motivation letter, a tabular CV, copies of your degree and
university certificates. If you have potential referees, please
include their contacts. The deadline for submitting applications is 20
July 2025. Please include the keyword “informationtype” in your
application email. If you have any questions prior to submitting the
application, please contact the project leader.
Interviews with potential candidates are conducted as soon as
possible.
The University of Tübingen is committed to equity and diversity and
actively promotes equal opportunities. The University of Tübingen
seeks to raise the number of women in research and teaching and
therefore urges suitable qualified women academics to apply for this
position.  The employment will be handled by the central
administration of the University of Tübingen.
