Description:
The Universiteit van Amsterdam seeks to fill a Post Doc-position in linguistics. It forms a part of the overall project 'The origins of truth and the origins of the sentence' recently funded by the Netherlands Organisation of Scientific Research (NWO) and directed by Dr. Wolfram Hinzen. The overall project, which consists of three subprojects, deals with the origin and nature of propositional thought and its relation to the human faculty of language. The task of the subproject relevant to this announcement is a contribution to our understanding of sentence syntax and the sentence/NP distinction specifically, sentential structures being the only ones that are evaluable for truth (as distinct from reference). Generally speaking, the aim is to better understand how propositionality, truth, and reference are syntactically coded.
Requirements Relevant candidates must have a PhD in Linguistics and a background in generative syntax. An interest in linguistic theory, the foundations of language, and the evolution of language are essential; some interest or competence in philosophy is a plus, but no requirement.
Appointment This is a 3-year, full-time position. The gross monthly salary will be in accordance with the University regulations for academic personnel, and will range from EUR 2,639 to a maximum of EUR 3,472 gross per month.
