Within the larger field of general linguistics, the holder of this position will conduct both teaching and research in the area of language typology. Applicants are expected to have an excellent scientific record in this area and to have carried out research that is internationally visible. Candidates should have research foci in both morphology and syntax. In addition, they should have peer-reviewed publications reporting in-depth studies on typologically different non-Indo-European languages; and they should have excellent knowledge of current theories of grammar, documented in both teaching and research. Candidates are required to have successfully submitted grant proposals before, and to have carried out research projects with researchers employed by these grants. Furthermore, candidates should be prepared to participate in cooperative research activities (like a projected graduate program, a future DFG Research Unit, and ultimately perhaps a Collaborative Research Centre (Sonderforschungsbereich, SFB) ). The professorship will involve teaching duties at both graduate (Master) and undergraduate (BA) levels. Rights and duties associated with the position are due to the university law of Saxony (SaechsHSG) and the regulation of service duties of Saxony. Candidates must fulfill the preconditions for employment according to § 58 SaechsHSG. The Leipzig University attaches importance to equal treatment of women and men. Seriously disabled persons are encouraged to apply and will be preferred given equivalent qualification.

Due to the tight schedule, candidates who plan to hand in their applications just on the due date are kindly asked to send an email beforehand to gereon.muelleruni-leipzig.de in order to announce their interest in the position.
