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 Tuebingen.
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 A4 “Multimodality, Iconicity
and the Common Ground: The Status of Speech and Gesture” with project
leaders Kathryn Barnes (Institute of Linguistics, University of
Frankfurt), Cornelia Ebert (Institute of Linguistics, University of
Frankfurt) and Britta Stolterfoht (German Department, University of
Tuebingen). The project seeks to undertake psycholinguistic
investigations into the multimodality of common ground updates,
comparing descriptive (e.g., manner adverbials) and depictive iconic
(e.g., ideophones, gesture) information units. Potential topics for
the doctoral thesis (degree: Doktor der Philosophie, Germanistische
Linguistik; for further information see
https://uni-tuebingen.de/fakultaeten/philosophische-fakultaet/forschung/promotion/),
are the processing of different types of adverbial modification,
semantic and pragmatic effects of these different types, etc..
The candidates should have finished a Linguistics Master's degree by
the start date of the project. The project’s leaders will guide the
research, and offer frequent support, advice, and consultation. The
CRC offers an exceptionally rich research environment with excellent
opportunities, including methodological training and interdisciplinary
work together with many other linguists and psychologists at the
University of Tuebingen and the University of Frankfurt. This post
therefore offers the ideal entry point to an academic career in
linguistics. The post will be located at the University of Tuebingen.
The successful candidate will be a (near-)native speaker of German.
Proficiency in English is required as well.
Equally qualified applicants with disabilities will be given
preference in the hiring process. The University of Tübingen is
committed to equal opportunities and diversity. It therefore takes
individual situations into account and asks for relevant information.
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.
Your application, which must be written in German, 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 and the contact details of one or two potential referees.
The deadline for submitting applications is 20 July 2025 at 23:59
(Berlin time). Applications should be addressed to the project’s
principal investigator Britta Stolterfoht, but should be sent
electronically to veronika.schupp at uni-tuebingen.de. If you have any
questions prior to submitting the application, please contact Britta
Stolterfoht via email (britta.stolterfoht at uni-tuebingen.de).
Interviews will be conducted via Zoom on 31 July 2025.
The employment process will be handled by the central administration
of the University of Tübingen.

Application Deadline: 20-Jul-2025
