We seek to appoint to the position of a researcher in the Leverhulme Research Leadership Award Project “Crossroads – investigating the unexplored side of multilingualism” led by Dr. Friederike Lüpke.
You will be an experienced fieldworking linguist of postdoctoral standing to join a dynamic interdisciplinary research group working on social networks and communities of practice and their impact on language structure and use in three multilingual village communities in Casamance, Southern Senegal.
You will conduct corpus-based research, using existing corpora and descriptions, and field research activities on Gujoolay Eegimaa (Joola Banjal). You will identify areas of convergence and divergence in a number of linguistic domains between this language and the contact languages Joola Kujirerai and Baïnounk Gubëeher based on corpus data and investigate the type and frequency of convergences in language use in social networks and communities of practice of speakers.
You will also conduct field research and be a field mentor to two PhD students working on the sociolinguistic and ethnographic aspects of social networks and communities of practice, and you will engage in a range of training activities for members of the village communities. Three field stays of ca. three months duration each are scheduled.
A Ph.D. in linguistics (submitted at the closing date and defended by December 2013, with written evidence from the awarding university provided with the application) or a related field is required.
