Marie Curie Fellowships at Utrecht University, UiL OTS 

The Utrecht Institute of Linguistics OTS is a research institute of
the faculty of arts of Utrecht University. About a hundred people are

approximately 40 graduate students (http://www-uilots.let.uu.nl/).

The goal of UiL OTS is to develop scientific expertise in the area of

Syntax and Semantics, (ii) Morphology & Phonology, (iii) Computational
Linguistics & Logic, (iv) Phonetics, (v) Language Development, and (vi)
Language Use. The UiL OTS research programme brings together research
from different strands of linguistics and related disciplines such as
logic, computer science, cognitive science, teaching, and social
science. Specific domains of interdisciplinary co-operation include:
primary and secondary language acquisition, language processing,
relations between language, logic and information.

UiL OTS is seeking ambitious and enthusiastic candidates for:
