Description:

4 PhD positions at Georg August Universität Göttingen (Zeijlstra's ERC project UNPAG)

The Department of English Philology at the Georg-August University Göttingen is offering 4 PhD positions (f/m/d) with 65% of the regular weekly working hours (currently 25,87 hours/week) for a limited period of 3 years starting on October 1st, 2025. Remuneration is according to the German public salary scale TV-L 13.

Your tasks

Your task is to carry out research within the ERC Advanced Grant ‘Unpacking Paradigmatic Gaps (UNPAG)’ recently awarded to Prof. Hedde Zeijlstra. This project aims at understanding why certain logically accessible concepts (like ‘not all’) appear never to be lexicalized across languages. More information about UNPAG can be found on [www.unpag.eu]. Each PhD student will work on one of the four pillars that are part of UNPAG.

Your profile

Applicants are expected to have a completed academic degree in linguistics or a related subject, with a focus on semantics, syntax, or pragmatics. They are expected to hold a Master’s degree (or equivalent). In addition, advanced command of the English language is required. Experience with either crosslinguistic or experimental semantics is desirable, but not necessary. Candidates who have not finished their MA program by the date of the submission should deliver a declaration by their supervisor(s) that the degree will be obtained prior to the start of the position.
