The National Graduate School in Linguistics and Philology (LingPhil), Faculty of Humanities, Norwegian University of Science and Technology - offers a two-year Postdoc position to focus on Linguistic Complexity in the Individual and Society (LCIS).
The application deadline is August 29, 2014.
The application is to be submitted electronically through http://www.jobbnorge.no, marked with HF-14-014, with attachments (preferably gathered in one document).
The goal of this project is to study linguistic complexity in three different areas: formal grammar, language acquisition, and sociolinguistics. The groundbreaking part of LCIS is that it will attempt to combine these different sub-disciplines of modern linguistics. Different methodologies and theoretical perspectives will be useful in order to illuminate complementary aspects of language complexity and thus contribute to deepening our understanding of this phenomenon. A unifying aspect of the research will be the use of multilingual data. These data have become increasingly important for linguistic methodologies and theories, but also for public policy makers in the sense that they address consequences of migration and children growing up acquiring multiple languages.
Further details about the positions can be obtained by contacting the chair of LCIS, Professor Terje Lohndal at terje.lohndal@ntnu.no.
