#Postdoctoral Researcher in Evolutionary Phonological Typology 80 %
The Institute for the Interdisciplinary Study of Language Evolution (ISLE) at the University of #Zurich invites applications for a 4-year Postdoctoral Researcher position. The position is associated with the research project “Uncovering the dynamics of sound patterns: phylogenetic approaches to phonological typology” funded by the Swiss National Science Foundation.
This project seeks to fill in the gaps in our understanding of the forces, both language-internal and language-external, that shape the evolution of sound patterns across languages, further integrating the subfield of phonological typology with evolutionary #linguistics, a burgeoning research area that draws upon methods from computational biology and other disciplines in order to investigate a wide variety of questions regarding linguistic change.
Deadline : Open Until Filled
