PhD student for 'The acquisition of Polish coronal consonants' project (1,0 fte)
Radboud University Nijmegen
Faculty of Arts
Vacancy number: 23.49.08
Closing date: 13 December 2008
Job description
The Polish coronal fricative system is highly interesting from a number of linguistic perspectives. From a typological and theoretical perspective it is interesting because it contains three different contrasting coronal fricatives, an alveolar, a retroflex and an alveolopalatal one and, in addition, a coronal fricative in a palatalizing context which is problematic for every known feature analysis. It is also problematic from a language acquisition perspective, because the coronal articulation place cannot remain unspecified during acquisition.
This project studies this system from the perspectives of theoretical analysis and acquisition and aims at providing a better insight into the phonological representation of fricatives. A major focus will be on the detailed study of the acquisition of Polish for which the 'preferential looking paradigm' method is used.
Requirements
The successful candidate has a Master's degree in Linguistics with a specialization in Phonology. He/She has excellent writing skills and is fluent in Polish and English.
Organization
The Centre for Language Studies is one of the two research institutes at the Faculty of Arts, Radboud University Nijmegen. It has a staff of around 70 FTEs, including some 35 PhD students and postdoctoral researchers. About 45% of our research projects are externally funded, three of which have been granted prestigious EURYI/ERC awards. CLS received an outstanding research assessment in 2006. Focused on broadly theoretically based empirical research and affiliated with the on-campus Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics and Donders Institute for Brain, Cognition and Behaviour, it provides a stimulating research climate and excellent opportunities for graduate training.
Conditions of employment
Maximum employment: 1,0 fte
The gross starting salary is €2,000 per month based on full-time employment.
Duration of the contract: Initial contract for 18 months, with possible extension by 2 years.
Other Information
Application letter, including an extensive CV and MA thesis or other publications, should be sent to the Personnel Department.
The PhD student will be supervised by Prof. Dr. H.M.G.M. Jacobs and Prof. Dr. J.P.M. Fikkert.
