Graduate Student Position in Syntax/Phonology at CLS/Tilburg University The Grammatical Models Group (GM) at the Center for Language Studies (CLS) / Tilburg University invites applications for admission from prospective graduate students. The GM- group (staff: Norbert Corver, Ben Hermans, Riny Huybregts, Henk van Riemsdijk (chair), and Craig Thiersch) is specialized in syntax and phonology, but within CLS it is integrated with groups working on formal semantics, computational linguistics, psycho- and sociolinguistics, and phonetics. More information about CLS can be obtained from Marleen van de Wiel (CLS@KUB.NL). You may also wish to consult our homepage under construction at: http://cwis.kub.nl/~fdl/research/gm/index.htm The program leads to a Ph.D. degree in four years. Classwork requirements are organized within LOT, the collaborative network of Dutch graduate schools in linguistics. In view of the current composition of our group, applications from prospective phonologists are particularly welcome. Candidates are expected to have some background in linguistics. For most countries this means that they should have completed an MA degree or hold an equivalent diploma. Applications should be accompanied by a statement of purpose, a curriculum vitae, a sample of recently written papers (if any), and three names (preferably with e-mail addresses) of people willing to write a letter of recommendation or to provide information about the candidate in some other form. Furthermore, students whose native language is not Dutch or English should submi satisfactory evidence for their proficiency in English. Deadline for the receipt of applications is June 15 1997. We expect to be able to accept a maximum of two new graduate students. Admission decisions may be expected by mid july and the start of the program is September 1997. Successful applicants may expect a waiver of all tuition. Furthermore, the usual facilities (desk, computer, some travel money) are offered, as well as support with housing, immigrations, etc. (no guarantees, though). To one of the candidates who are admitted we can offer additional financial support in the form of a graduate stipend of approximatively NLG 27'000.-- per year (annually renewable for a total of four years, provided results are satisfactory), that is approximatively NLG 2250.-- or about US$ 1150.-- per month. A graduate stipend further entitles the recipient to a maximum of two years worth of postdoctoral employment in our department provided the dissertation is completed in time. Any application should specify if your actual enrollment in our program is contingent on obtaining a graduate stipend or whether you can also come with independent financial support (note that non-Dutch citizens will have to submit proof of financial support to the immigrations authorities in order to obtain a residency permit).
