Description:
The interdisciplinary research training program SToRE of the Collaborative Research
Center (CRC) 991 “The Structure of Representations in Language, Cognition, and
Science” awards up to four fellowships for up to six months starting in October 2018
for international graduate/postgraduate students. The fellowship consists of a
monthly stipend of EUR 1,468 (plus child care allowance where applicable) and an
economy class roundtrip flight/train ticket. Successful applicants will be
graduate/postgraduate students enrolled as a PhD student at a university outside
Germany, working on a topic that is related to the CRC’s research program.
This
fellowship is thus intended for PhD students who work on a topic that is related to
the CRC’s core business. Building on Barsalou’s (1992) work, the CRC assumes that
frames are the universal format of human cognition. That is to say, they are
applicable across a wide variety of disciplines, from psychology to semantics.
Cluster A covers the general and foundational issues related to frames: their
grounding, composition and properties. Cluster B groups together the projects that
explore dynamic frames, with event frames and event modification as a unifying
dimension. The C-cluster has operations on frames as a central aspect, specifically
concerning countability, nominal derivation and modification. The D-projects apply
frames beyond their original boundaries and extend their applicability to a wide
variety of fields, such as information structure and phonology.
Fellows
will become members of the graduate training program and will have access to all
courses and workshops. They will be active members of the research group they
applied for. As such, they will be provided with a workplace and a computer.
In order to apply for the fellowship, applicants should review the different
projects on the CRC’s website (see above) and introduce themselves as well as their
work to Graduate Program coordinator Eva Gentes (store_sfb991
phil.hhu.de). The
coordinator will contact the respective principal investigator and if the principal
investigator is willing to sponsor the application, the candidate will be nominated
and invited to submit a full application. In turn, the nomination will be reviewed
by the application committee.
Candidates have to be nominated to the
application committee by 1st May 2018. It is advisable that candidates contact the
coordinator well in advance.
