General information
Applicants must have an undergraduate degree including at least an equivalent of
the Swedish 'magister' programme in General Linguistics. This programme focuses
on linguistic theory and comprises four years of study including the writing of
two research papers. Applicants from all countries are welcome. Knowledge of
Swedish is not a formal requirement but students are strongly advised to acquire
a working knowledge of Swedish as soon as possible (language courses are offered
by the university). Additional details on the general admission requirements for
postgraduate studies at Stockholm University can be found at:
http://www.su.se/english/study/postgraduate-studies.
During the period of the studentship, the student is a regular employee of the
University. The beginning salary is 21,600 SEK a month (approximately 2,100 Euros or
3,100 USD).
The first period of employment is for one year. The employment contract can then
be renewed for at most two years at a time, up to a total of four years, or, if
the student accepts teaching or administrative duties at the department (not
exceeding 20% of full time), maximally five years.
The Department of Linguistics at Stockholm University (http://www.ling.su.se)
has about 60 employees, which makes it one of the larger departments at the
Faculty of Humanities. The department is organized into six sections, namely,
General Linguistics, Computational Linguistics, Phonetics, Sign Language for the
Deaf, Swedish for the Deaf, and Modern Greek. The research at the Department of
Linguistics belongs to one of fifteen areas at Stockholm University which have
been graded as 'leading research' in the sense of being nationally leading and
having a high international status (see
http://www.su.se/english/research/leading-research-areas/humanities-law-and-social-sciences).
The department is a member of the Human Language Technology Center in the
Stockholm-Uppsala University Network (http://www.uu.se/suun/eng/hltcenter.php),
and participates in the Swedish National Graduate School of Language Technology
(GSLT, http://www.gslt.hum.gu.se/).
