Linguistics is a subject authorised to award qualifications at all levels, including in third-cycle studies. At the department, there is also the Centre for Linguistic Theory and Studies in Probability (CLASP), funded by a 10-year grant from the Swedish Research Council (2015-2025). CLASP is devoted to research and advanced training in the application of probabilistic modelling and machine learning methods to core issues in linguistic theory and cognition. The department offers an international English-speaking research environment. The research is interdisciplinary and aims at bringing together insights from various fields such as logic, mathematics, computer science, artificial intelligence, linguistics, computational linguistics, cognitive science, philology, and philosophy. Job description: The current position is within the area of Linguistics at the department. Linguistic interaction is the main overarching theme for research in linguistics at FLoV. The focus is on conversational dialogue as a research topic within psycholinguistics, sociolinguistics, semantics and pragmatics, and language technology/computational linguistics. The ideal candidate should be motivated to develop an original PhD thesis project in any single or combination of these fields. We will fund one well-qualified and highly motivated candidate to carry out research using experimental and/or formal methods on any of the following general topics in relation to dialogue modelling and/or grammar design: - Incremental processing in conversation - Multimodal phenomena - Theories of joint action and linguistic meaning - Context and common ground - Probabilistic models of inference and linguistic processing - Dialogue acts - Turn-taking We are looking for candidates who have solid prior experience in linguistics (syntax, semantics, pragmatics), psycholinguistics, or computational linguistics. More particularly, demonstrable ability and experience in the modelling of, or experimentation with dialogue phenomena is highly desirable. The candidate should be able to provide evidence of the ability for conducting original independent research. Candidates with an interdisciplinary background are particularly encouraged to apply.
