Structural Learning Difficulties in German". The project is co-funded by the AHRC and the Deutsche Forschungsgesellschaft. The project involves the further development of a learner corpus (Falko, http://www.linguistik.hu-berlin.de/institut/professuren/korpuslinguistik/forschung/falko) and the quantitative and qualitative evaluation of German learner corpus data. The goal of the project is to discover what structural difficulties in the acquisition of German as a foreign language can be detected through corpus studies. We are looking for candidates who share the avid interest in research found in our institutes and complement the existing research community. The main responsibilities of the post will be to collect, transcribe/digitise, annotate and analyse conversational data, and to participate in the writing of research papers. The intention is to appoint a part-time postdoctoral candidate if possible. However, applications from able candidates with an MA or MSc in relevant fields who are approaching the successful completion of a PhD degree will be considered as well. The person appointed will be one of two researchers appointed to the Project and will work as part of a team. Candidates should be native or near-native speakers of both German and English. They should have a post-graduate degree in Applied and/or Corpus Linguistics and should have experience in the collection, transcription, annotation and analysis of linguistic data. The successful candidate will primarily be based at Bangor University but for up to 7 months at the beginning of the project s/he will be based at the Institute for German Language and Linguistics / Corpus Linguistics, Humboldt University, Berlin, Germany. The successful candidate will be expected to commence July, 2009, or as soon as possible thereafter, and the post is available for a period of 36 months.
