Description:
The Department of Linguistics and English Language at The University of Manchester seeks to appoint a postdoctoral research associate from May 1 2020 through to August 2023, working on the European Research Council Consolidator Project “The lexical semantics of lexical categories” (PI, Andrew Koontz-Garboden).
You will form part of a team whose goal is to elucidate through the study of property concept lexemes (see Dixon 1982, Thompson 1989) and constructions in which they appear, the meaning of nounhood, verbhood, and adjectivehood. The project will do this through broad typological study and detailed semantic and morphosyntactic fieldwork on individual languages (which will be identified as part of the initial stage of the project).
Your key duties will include working on the typological study; carrying out fieldwork; publishing results; and carrying out organizational duties tied to the administration of the project.
Essential criteria include a PhD (or near completion) in linguistics or a cognate area; expertise in formal semantics and the syntax/semantics interface; experience (or proven potential) of high quality research; ability to publish research findings at an international level.
