    Description:

    The graduate program "Sentence Types: Variation and Interpretation" (Graduiertenkolleg "Satzarten: Variation und Interpretation") at the University of Frankfurt/Main (Germany) invites applications for two postdoctoral positions, one in syntax/typology and one in semantics/pragmatics.

    The graduate program was founded in April 2001 and receives its funding from the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG), the German national research foundation. The program combines several areas of linguistics and establishes interdisciplinary relations with the neighboring disciplines cognitive psychology and neuroscience. There are currently fourteen PhD students working on topics in syntax, typology, semantics and pragmatics. Information about the projects of the program can be found on the internet under

    http://www.uni-frankfurt.de/fb10/grad_koll

    in both German and English.

    The role of the postdocs is to facilitate cross-discipline doctoral research. Postdocs will be expected to coordinate and support dissertation projects in more than one of the sub-disciplines of the program. In addition, candidates are expected to teach in at least one of the project areas as well as organize courses, workshops and seminars within the graduate program.

    The first postdoctoral position is reserved for "Syntax/Typology" research. Applicants for this position should have significant expertise in both the theory of syntax and in descriptive language typology. This position is available from April 2004.

    The second postdoctoral position is reserved for "Semantics/Pragmatics" research. Again applicants for this position should have significant expertise in both formal semantics and pragmatics. This position is available from June 2004.

    Both positions are available for two years and cannot be extended, command of German is required.

    Applicants should send a curriculum vitae, a statement of research interests and up to three representative publications by March 26, 2004 to the Head of the graduate program
