The position is part of the project 'Constraintbasierte Analyse restriktiver Relativsätze im Englischen und Deutschen' ('Constraint-based analysis of restrictive relative clauses in English and German'). The project belongs to the research group 'Relativsätze' ('Relative clauses') funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG) and is a collaborative project of the Universities of Frankfurt and Goettingen (project leaders: Prof. Dr. Anke Holler and Prof. Dr. Gert Webelhuth). The position starts on 1 October 2011 (or later). The position is limited initially to three years. If evaluated positively the project can be extended for three more years. We welcome applications of candidates holding a Master's degree (or equivalent) in German language studies, linguistics or a related field. We expect a successful candidate to have a solid background in theoretical grammar (HPSG or other framework) and the grammar of German, and a genuine interest in the theoretical analysis of empirical results. Previous experience with corpus research methods and/or psycholinguistic experimental methods will be an advantage. The salary and social benefits are determined by the German civil servants standard (Entgeltgruppe 13 TV-L, Tarifgebiet West, corresponding to an initial salary of 2600 EUR/month (pre-tax)). The University of Goettingen is an equal opportunity employer. Women are therefore particularly encouraged to apply. Disabled applicants with equivalent qualifications will be treated preferentially. Applications should include a CV, an outline of research experience, a list of publications and (links to) a sample of published works, as well as names and addresses of references. Applications received by 30 August 2011 will receive full consideration, though we will accept applications even after interviews have started until the position has been filled.
