(subject to experience)
Applications are invited for a research post in the Surrey Morphology
Group, for a period of two and a half years, available from 1 October
2012. This post is for the project 'Endangered complexity: Inflectional
classes in Oto-Manguean languages', co-funded by the Economic
and Social Research Council and the Arts and Humanities Research
Council. The project directors are Prof. Greville G. Corbett, Dr
Matthew Baerman, Prof. Dunstan Brown and Dr Enrique L. Palancar.
The job will involve (i) working collaboratively in the construction and
maintenance of a large lexical and morphological database of
different Oto-Manguean languages together with the creation and
maintenance of a website dedicated to these languages; (ii)
elaborating an annotated bibliography on inflectional classes; and
(iii) contributing to joint papers.
Applicants should hold a PhD or expect to complete all requirements
for the PhD prior to appointment. Applicants should have a solid
background in one or both of the following areas: linguistic typology
and morphological theory. Knowledge of Oto-Manguean languages
is not required, though it would be a distinct advantage as will be
having experience in the creation of linguistic databases. The ability
to understand written Spanish is desirable. Candidates must have
the ability to work independently while functioning as part of a
research team.
