Description:
The Department of Linguistics at Stockholm University invites applications for three Ph.D. Studentships in Linguistics with a specialization in General Linguistics and/or Phonetics, Ref.nr SU 617-2167-09, and a Ph.D. Studentship in Computational Linguistics, Ref.nr SU 617-2168-09.
The deadline for applications is October 29th, 2009. Applications should be sent by ordinary mail to Stockholms universitet, Registrator/PA, 106 91 Stockholm, Sweden, and should include the following:
We would especially welcome thesis projects with a potential for cross-fertilizing areas within the department and/or with partners in the Human Language Technology Center in the Stockholm Uppsala University Network. For example, the thesis project might involve one of the profile areas of the department, language typology (see http://www.ling.su.se/ASV/ engelska/eng-text.html) or early language acquisition in children. It might also relate to activities within the Userware Laboratory at the Swedish Institute of Computer Science (SICS), such as data-oriented models of semantics. Examples of other such cross-border areas are symbolic and statistical methods for parsing and computational linguistics for under-resourced languages.

General information
Applicants must have an undergraduate degree including at least an equivalent of the Swedish magister programme in General Linguistics. This programme focuses on linguistic theory and comprises four years of study including the writing of two research papers. Applicants from all countries are welcome. Knowledge of Swedish is not a formal requirement but students are strongly advised to acquire a working knowledge of Swedish as soon as possible (language courses are offered by the university). Additional details on the general admission requirements for postgraduate studies at Stockholm University can be found here.
During the period of the studentship, the student is a regular employee of the University. The beginning salary is SEK 21,600 a month (approximately 2,100 or USD 3,100).
The first period of employment is for one year. The employment contract can then be renewed for at most two years at a time, up to a total of four years, or, if the student accepts teaching or administrative duties at the department (not exceeding 20% of full time), maximally five years.
The Department of Linguistics at Stockholm University has about 60 employees, which makes it one of the larger departments at the Faculty of Humanities. The department is organized into six sections, namely, General Linguistics, Computational Linguistics, Phonetics, Sign Language for the Deaf, Swedish for the Deaf, and Modern Greek. The research at the Department of Linguistics belongs to one of fifteen areas at Stockholm University which have been graded as leading research in the sense of being nationally leading and having a high international status. The department is a member of the Human Language Technology Center in the Stockholm Uppsala University Network, and participates in the Swedish National Graduate School of Language Technology (GSLT).
