We are seeking to appoint a second Postdoctoral Research Associate to join the Leverhulme Trust funded project,  ‘How autonomous is syntax? A case study of Romance causation and perception’.

The post will run from 1 September 2024 to 31st August 2027, the length of this three-year project.

The project is led by Professor Michelle Sheehan in the School of English Literature, Language and Linguistics at Newcastle University, in collaboration with Professor Sonia Cyrino, State University of Campinas, Professor Adam Ledgeway, University of Cambridge and Professor Robert Truswell, University of Edinburgh. In additon to this position, the project will also host a funded PhD student and another postdoctoral Research Associate, both also based in Newcastle. 

The successful candidate will be responsible for the collection of data from several Romance varieties. Language expertise in at least two such varieties is essential. Additional languauge expertise in any of the other languages listed above (or in other Romance varieties) would also be a distinct advantage. A knowledge of Romance syntax is essential and an understanding of semantics is also highly desirable. While it is not expected that applicants will have worked previously on Romance causative and perception verbs, demonstable potential to make a research contribution in this area of syntax/semantics is essential.
