Description:

The Institute for the Interdisciplinary Study of Language Evolution (University of Zurich) invites applications for 2 x funded PhD positions in Typological Linguistics, to join a project investigating semantic patterns in geographic regions. You have a background in typological linguistics, with a Masters or Honours degree on a related topic. Candidates with an interest in Papuan or Australian Aboriginal languages are particularly encouraged to apply, though other geographic regions will also be considered. Also desirable are data science skills (e.g. R, Python), and experience of linguistic fieldwork. Candidates should indicate in their application whether they would prefer to do a fieldwork-based or literature-based study: both are possible within the scope of this project.

Review of applications will begin on 19 April, and continue until the positions are filled.
