Description:
The Formal Linguistics Group at Universitat Pompeu Fabra, Barcelona has available one four-year research assistantship for doctoral study associated with the funded project "Natural Language Ontology and the Semantic Representation of Abstract Objects."
The basic eligibility requirement is a Bachelor's degree or equivalent by the end of June 2009. Interest in semantics, the syntax-semantics interface, or computational semantics is essential; some prior background would be a plus. Knowledge of Spanish or Catalan is not required but would be useful.
The scholarship includes a monthly stipend, coverage by the Social Security system, and university fees related to doctoral study. The assistantship also includes the possibility of applying for grants for short-term stays abroad. Annual renewal of the assistantship will depend on successful progress in the doctoral program and collaboration on the research project.
As the application for these assistantships will be handled through the Spanish
Ministry of Science and Innovation, individuals who are interested in applying are advised to contact us for technical assistance with the application process.
For more information please contact Louise McNally (see contact information below) as soon as possible, and in any case no later than December 15, 2008. The Ministry deadline will be in mid-January, but we ask for advance contact so that the documentation can be properly prepared.
