The Department of Linguistics in the Faculty of Arts is looking for a full-time (100%) doctoral scholarship holder in the fields of grammar, cross-linguistic semantics, and corpus linguistics.

Position:
- You will work actively on the preparation of a PhD thesis in Linguistics. The project you are part of is entitled Predictable ways of being unpredictable: Unconventional uses of verbal constructions, and uses data from translation corpora to analyze how progressive aspect and GO- and COME-constructions are exploited cross-linguistically to convey a sense of unconventionality. A detailed description of the project can be found here: https://medialibrary.uantwerpen.be/files/27849/90af5ec5-3a61-4081-80f1-d1900fdd7293.pdf?_ga=2.71748374.486261020.1657120265-775178887.1599765458
- You will publish scientific articles related to the research project, and present your work at (inter)national conferences.
- You will carry out a limited number of teaching and research support tasks for the Department of Linguistics.

Profile:
- You hold a Master degree in the field of linguistics or you will have obtained it by the time you start work.
- You can demonstrate excellent study results.
- Your teaching competences are in line with the University of Antwerp’s educational vision.
- Your research qualities are in line with the faculty and university research policies.
- You act with attention to quality, integrity, creativity and cooperation.
- You are fluent in at least three languages, including English.
- Experience in the domains of (translation) corpus linguistics, statistics and/or grammaticalization studies is an asset.

What we offer:
- We offer a doctoral scholarship for a period of two years. Following a positive evaluation, the scholarship can be renewed once for another two-year period.
- The planned start date is 1 October 2022, but a later starting date is negotiable.
- Your monthly scholarship amount is calculated according to the scholarship amounts for doctoral scholarship holders on the pay scales for Contract Research Staff (Dutch: Bijzonder Academisch Personeel, BAP).
- You will receive ecocheques, internet-connectivity allowance and a bicycle allowance or a full reimbursement of public transport costs for commuting.
- You will do most of your work at the City Campus in a dynamic and stimulating working environment.
