We are happy to announce two positions as
Research Associate in English Linguistics (m/f/d)
(65% of regular working hours; pay group 13 TV-L)
The positions have a start date of 1 November 2023 and are limited until
31 October 2026.
Information on the project:
The employment is in the project “Young German Learner English:
Complexity, Accuracy, Fluency”, funded by the German Research
Foundation. The project is a joint venture among the universities of
Bamberg, Hamburg and Freiburg. It aims at the empirical analysis of
complexity, accuracy and fluency as important constructs in the study of
second language acquisition. To this end, a corpus of spoken and written
production data from learners of English as a foreign language will be
completed and annotated. In this corpus, the aforementioned constructs
and their interactions will be investigated and contextual and social
factors (e.g. motivation, socio-economic status) will be included in
order to model the course of second language acquisition of English in
the German context. The knowledge gained in this applied project will be
used in the training of teachers as well as in the optimization of the
development of textbooks and materials.
Task description:
The main tasks of the research associate are research-related and will
comprise scientific and organizational support of the principal
investigators, independent planning and implementation of data
collection at schools, linguistic annotation and analysis of corpus
data, as well as engaging in related publication activities.
One of the posts is located at the University of Hamburg and supervised
by Prof. Dr. Robert Fuchs. The other post is located at the University
of Bamberg and supervised by PD Dr. Valentin Werner.
