CONFERENCES 
********************** 
 
International Symposium on Prosody to Commemorate Gösta Bruce
Lund, Sweden, 2-3 June 2014
http://conference.sol.lu.se/en/bruce-2014/
 Call deadline: 1 March 2014
 Call for poster abstracts 
The department of linguistics and phonetics, Lund University, will honor the late Gösta Bruce (1947-2010) with a commemorative symposium on June 2-3, 2014. 
As professor of phonetics, Gösta Bruce played an internationally very fundamental and influential role in the development of methods and models for current prosody research. The ideas in his seminal doctoral dissertation from 1977, Swedish Word Accents in Sentence Perspective, served as the point of departure for the development of prosody models for tone and intonation systems in many different languages.

Invited speakers at the symposium include:
 
San Duanmu, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor 
Caroline Féry, Goethe-University, Frankfurt 
Nina Grønnum, University of Copenhagen 
Carlos Gussenhoven, Radboud University, Nijmegen 
Julia Hirschberg, Columbia University, New York 
D. Robert Ladd, University of Edinburgh
Tomas Riad, Stockholm University

 In addition to marking Gösta Bruce’s importance for research in prosody, the symposium will function as a forum for discussions on current challenging research questions within prosody research. 
 Abstracts for poster presentations at the symposium are invited. Abstracts can deal with any topic within the area of prosody and should be no more than 250 words long. They should be submitted on the conference home page no later than March 1, 2014.
 Participation is free of charge, but registration via the conference home page is necessary.

 POSITIONS VACANT 
*************************** 
 
A permanent position as senior lecturer (full time) in linguistics has been announced at the Department of Philosophy, Linguistics and Theory of Science, University of Gothenburg. 

The position includes 50% research time during the first year. 

Closing date for applications is 2014-01-20.

If you're interested, please see the job announcement webpage (short url http://goo.gl/XZ99hQ) for information on how to apply.

The University of Leipzig, Germany, offers full funding for 2 post-doctoral candidates in any area of syntax, morphology and/or phonology and their interfaces. The post-doctoral research will be carried out as part of the newly approved graduate programme ``Interaction of Grammatical Building Blocks'' (IGRA) at the University of Leipzig (http://www.uni-leipzig.de/~igra), funded by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG, German Research Foundation). Each PhD position is funded for 2 years, with social benefits (payscale: 1.0 TVL-E13).

The central research focus of IGRA is on the phonology, morphology, and syntax of natural languages. Recent developments in grammatical theory have accumulated an impressive body of knowledge about the representations of linguistic expressions of varying complexity, and about the grammatical building blocks (rules, operations, constraints, schemata, extralinguistic factors) that restrict their distributions. In addition, there are some plausible hypotheses as to how these building blocks interact with one another. However, what is so far lacking is a comprehensive and systematic investigation of the possible interactions of grammatical building blocks from different theoretical perspectives, on the basis of detailed empirical studies of phonological, morphological, and syntactic phenomena from an array of typologically diverse languages. It is the primary goal of the graduate programme to address this gap.

The post-doctoral candidates are encouraged to pursue research that is based on different grammatical models (and potentially also on combinations thereof), such as Minimalism, Optimality Theory, Rule-Based phonology, Distributed Morphology, Lexical Decomposition Grammar, Construction Grammar, Framework-Free Grammatical Theory, Minimalist Morphology, Paradigm-Function Morphology. The programme will provide a unique opportunity of conducting linguistic research in an academically rigorous environment that is not pre-biased toward one or other theoretical framework. 

Detailed information about the research programme, including a list of the programme's faculty and a list of potential dissertation topics, can be found here: 

http://www.uni-leipzig.de/~igra.
