Seventeen PhD student and postdoctoral positions in "Limit of Variability in Language", Potsdam (Germany)

17 PhD and Postdoc Positions

The Collaborative Research Center SFB 1287 ?Limits of Variability in
Language: Cognitive, Grammatical, and Social Aspects? in Potsdam, Germany,
invites applications for 17 positions for PhD candidates and Postdocs
available from July 2017 for a duration of four years (subject to funding
commitment). Language users exhibit a high degree of variability at all
levels of the linguistic system, language use, and language development
and change. This variability in language can be characterised as the range
of different possible linguistic behaviours that are available to a
language user, a language community, or in specific languages at any
linguistic level. By exploring the systematicity and the limits of
variability in linguistic behaviours, the main focus of the CRC will be on
identifying the constraints of the underlying linguistic system. Several
projects will jointly evaluate the limits, relations, dependencies, and
commonalities of different types of variability across a range of
linguistic phenomena from the perspectives of (A) language interaction and
change, of (B) language processing, and of (C) grammatical systems. The
CRC provides a fantastic research infrastructure including a large
interdisciplinary network of researchers, its own graduate school, and
funding opportunities for conference visits, summer schools, hosting
international experts etc.

The University of Potsdam hosts leading groups in the field of linguistics
and cognitive sciences
(http://www.uni-potsdam.de/en/cognitive-sciences/index.html
<http://www.uni-potsdam.de/en/cognitive-sciences/index.html>). Potsdam is
an attractive historical city and its palaces are a UNESCO World Heritage
Site. Potsdam is close to Berlin, a culturally vibrant city and home to a
lively start-up scene. Both cities have a high quality of life at modest
living costs.
