    Pre-doc position Available

    The Language and Cognition Group (formerly the Cognitive Anthropology Research Group) at the Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics has a position available for a young researcher who is studying for a Ph.D. The holder of the position is expected to complete their thesis during their stay with the Group.

    The Group is concerned with the relation between language and cognition, especially as evidenced by cross-linguistic studies. The position provides full support (including fieldwork) for two years, renewable for one further year. Residence is in Nijmegen, the Netherlands, except during fieldwork, but theses may be examined by Universities elsewhere. (MPI itself does not award degrees, but rather this position will fund research towards a Ph.D. at a recognized university.)

    Preconditions are:

    (a) good linguistic training, especially in descriptive linguistics or linguistic anthropology; (b) some experience of fieldwork in non-Western languages and communities; (c) willingness to undertake further linguistic and ethnographic fieldwork in a non-Western community for the PhD, and to work in collaborative projects (currently focussed on 'Spatial language and cognition', 'Speech and Gesture', and 'Argument structure (verbal semantics)'; (d) completion of prerequisites for entry into a PhD program as determined by the University (and country) where the applicant intends to submit.

    Applicants who meet these preconditions should send a letter of application, a Curriculum Vitae and the names of 3 referees to:
