The Utrecht Institute of Linguistics OTS (http://www-uilots.let.uu.nl) is a
research institute of the Faculty of Arts of Utrecht University, The
Netherlands. About one hundred researchers are involved of which 12 full
professors, 10 postdoctoral researchers and about 30 graduate students.

The goal of UiL OTS is to develop scientific expertise in the area of
language, speech and their use. The research of UiL OTS comprises the
following six areas: Syntax and Semantics, Morphology & Phonology,
Computational Linguistics & Logic, Phonetics, Language Development, en
Language Use. The research programme of UiL OTS brings together research
from different strands of linguistics and related disciplines such as
logic, computer science, cognitive sciences, teaching, and social sciences. 

UiL OTS searches an ambitious and enthusiastic candidate for a position as

 POSTDOCTORAL FELLOW

Start: to be negotiated. Duration: 2 years.

The project will investigate the nature of the syntactic processes that are
available in natural language to encode interpretative dependencies between
arguments. It will do so by systematically exploring the types of variation
across languages in the domain of anaphoric relations and realising a
typological data base in the area of anaphora. A project proposal is
available on request or can be downloaded from our internet-site:
http://www-uilots.let.uu.nl/general/general.htm, see Vacant Positions. 

The candidate should, preferably, combine a solid expertise in current
linguistic theory, more specifically in the area of anaphora, and
experience with cross-linguistic (descriptive) research. Experience
with developing databases will be considered an advantage. The
researcher will participate in an (inter)national project, funded by
the Dutch National Science Foundation, in which an overarching
typological meta-database system is developed that is able to link
separate databases in such a way that one can question a set of
databases. The project proposal will be sent upon request or can be
downloaded from our internet-site.

We offer a stimulating and innovative research environment with many
international contacts, a program which offers possibilities for
collaboration with specialists in a broad area of linguistics, good
experimental facilities, etc. Salary indication max. Dfl. 7618,= per
month (gross).
