Description:
The Faculty of Humanities of Georg-August-Universität Göttingen invites applications for a level W3 professorship in General Linguistics, starting April 1, 2016.
The successful candidate will be responsible for academic duties in research and teaching in the field of General Linguistics with a focus on historical-comparative, Indo-European linguistics and is expected to be knowledgeable about linguistic typology. Indo-European studies are considered an integral part of linguistics in Göttingen. We are especially looking for a candidate whose scope of work includes empirical linguistic research (preferably comparing historical data) according to state-of-the-art standards while providing opportunities for engaging with synchronically oriented theoretical linguistics.
Candidates are required to have (i) completed an excellent doctoral thesis on a relevant subject of interest, (ii) accomplished additional scholarly credentials, typically achieved during a period of employment as junior professor or through a habilitation, (iii) experience in academic teaching.
The ideal applicant will exhibit an interdisciplinary orientation that underscores her or his ability to actively contribute to present and future research clusters within the university’s priority research area “Language and Cognition”. A medium-range goal will be to join with colleagues working with the Courant Research Centre “Text Structures”. The successful candidate will also contribute to the development of linguistic curricula within the Faculty of Humanities. Active participation in academic administration will be expected.
