Dear colleagues,
At the new Collaborative Research Center SFB 1287 "Limits of
Variability in Language: Cognitive, Grammatical, and Social Aspects"
at the University of Potsdam (Germany) 17 PhD/Postdoc positions are to
be filled. For details and links to the individual research projects
see below.
Best,
Ulrike
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).
A detailed description of the available positions and the respective
requirements can be found here:

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). 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.
