Level: PhD

Duties: Research, Project Work

Specialty Areas: General Linguistics; Linguistic Theories; Phonology;
Pragmatics; Psycholinguistics

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).
PhD Researcher in Linguistics (m/f/d, E13 TV-L, 75%)
The position begins on 01 October 2025 and ends on 30 June 2029.
The position is associated with project B5 "Clarifying the Common
Ground: A Crosslinguistic Investigation of the Form and Pragmatic
Function of Reprise Questions and Reprise Fragments" of CRC 1718. The
project seeks to undertake crosslinguistic investigations into the
morphosyntactic and prosodic forms and pragmatic functions of reprise
questions and reprise fragments, using experimental syntactic methods
and speech production and perception experiments for prosodic
analysis. For the advertised PhD researcher position, this work
involves conducting prosodic production and perception experiments on
reprise questions and other non-canonical questions in a small sample
of European languages from different language families (approx. 4
languages, e.g. English, German, Italian, Hungarian).
Only applicants that hold a master’s degree (or equivalent) in
Linguistics or a similar Language Science area are eligible for the
role.
The ideal candidate for this position has:
 -- a strong familiarity with contemporary research on prosody and its
interaction with syntax and pragmatics;
 -- experience with conducting prosodic production and perception
studies;
 -- experience with conducting crosslinguistic research.
We encourage applications from individuals who closely align with the
profile of the ideal candidate, even if not all criteria are fully
met. If you believe your experience and skills broadly match the
description, we would be pleased to hear from you.
The successful candidate will be a (near-)fluent speaker of English.
Proficiency in German, though welcome, is not required for this role.
The project offers a cohesive interdisciplinary research environment
at the University of Tübingen and a dedicated interdisciplinary
project team. We will support the PhD researcher in gaining any skills
essential to the successful completion of the project, and we offer
him/her/them the opportunity to obtain additional skills related to
interdisciplinary language science research more generally.
The work associated with this position cannot be conducted fully
remotely. The successful candidate will perform many of his/her/their
regular responsibilities on-site, at the University of Tübingen.
Your application, which must be written in English, should consist of
a motivation letter summarizing your suitability for the role and an
extensive CV that includes a list of publications (if any) and the
contact details of three potential referees. The deadline for
submitting applications is 13 July 2025 at 23:59 (Berlin time).
Applications should be addressed to the project’s principal
investigator, Dr. James Griffiths, but should sent electronically to
claudia.heberle at uni-tuebingen.de. Enquiries may also be sent to this
email address.
Interviews will be conducted via Zoom on 21 and/or 22 July 2025.
Candidates shortlisted for interview will be notified as soon as
possible after the submission deadline.
