Description:
The Faculty of Modern
Languages (FB 10), Goethe University Frankfurt, Linguistics/Semantics invites applications for 1 PhD
position (E13 TV-G-U, 65% part-time) starting from June 1st 2019 (a later start is possible). The
position is initially limited until November 30th 2019 and can be extended until September 30th 2020
(and, subject to funding, beyond that) as a 50% (E13 TV-G-U) part-time position. It is part of the
project The Pragmatic Status of Iconic Meaning in Spoken Communication: Gestures, Ideophones, Prosodic
Modulations (PSIMS) (
https://www.xprag.de/?page_id=4751)
of the Priority Program XPrag.de.
Responsibilities:
The position involves participation in
the research activities of the project, which investigates the pragmatic status of iconic meanings in
the three dimensions gesture, ideophones, and prosodic modulations. The main aim of the project lies in
the development of formal semantic theories and empirical evaluations of those by experiments and corpus
work.
Responsibilities include particularly research on formal gesture semantics and the conception,
execution, and evaluation of psycholinguistic experiments. Close cooperation with the other part of the
research team at the Leibniz-Zentrum Allgemeine Sprachwissenschaft in Berlin, including a PhD student
working on phonetic/phonological aspects of iconicity, is required.
Application Requirements:
Applicants are expected to have an excellent academic degree (Master/Diploma) in linguistics or a
related field. A good command of written and spoken English is mandatory, and German would be an
advantage. They should have experience in formal semantics and pragmatics and experience with
psycholinguistic methods is desirable. The candidate should enjoy working in an independent and
pro-active manner.
Required documents (in English or German):
- Letter of motivation;
-
Curriculum Vitae (CV);
- Certificates;
- Name of two references.
All required documents
for the application should be emailed as one single pdf file to Cornelia Ebert (ebert
lingua.uni-frankfurt.de). Applications will be considered as they arrive. The
final deadline for applications is May 15th 2019.
Applications Deadline: 15-May-2019
