Two Ph.D. Studentships in General Linguistics at Stockholm University, Sweden
The Department of Linguistics at Stockholm University invites applications for
a four year studentship for its Ph.D. programme in General Linguistics (start
date: January 2004).
Applicants are expected to choose a topic for their Ph.D. theses within the
department's focal areas of research. These include typological, areal, and
diachronic/evolutionary aspects of grammar, discourse and lexicon; contact
languages; descriptions of lesser known languages. For more information see our
web site (
http://www.ling.su.se).
Applicants must have an undergraduate degree including an equivalent of the
Swedish 'magister' programme in General Linguistics. This programme focuses
on linguistic theory and comprises two 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).
During the period of the studentship, the student is a regular employee of the
University. The beginning salary is SEK 17900 a month (approximately EURO 1970 or
USD 2370).
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 per cent of full time), maximally five years.
The deadline for applications is November 15, 2004. Applications should be sent
by ordinary mail to Stockholms universitet, Registrator/PÖ, 106 91 Stockholm,
Sweden, and should include the following:
* a CV with information about earlier studies, jobs and publications
* a copy of written works that are referred to in the application
* a short essay 'Why I want to study linguistics at Stockholm University' and a
brief sketch of a possible thesis project
Further inquiries should be directed to Professor Östen Dahl (oesten
ling.su.se).
