Post-doctoral position: computational models of historical linguistics

Lattice, a CNRS research laboratory in linguistics in Paris area
(UMR8094, CNRS, Ecole Normale Supérieure et Université Sorbonne
Nouvelle, http://www.lattice.cnrs.fr/), offers a post-doctoral
position on the following research topic: "computational models of
historical linguistics". The successful candidate will be able to
develop his own trend of research. Projects aiming at establishing a
real link between historical data and computer models will be
considered in priority but any project showing an interest in the
computational and/or formal description of historical linguistic data
will be closely considered. The theoretical framework and the
languages considered for exploration are left to the choice of the
candidate.

The salary is 2000 euros net per month. The position is available at
the Lattice laboratory (Ecole Normale Supérieure in Montrouge, within
Paris area) for 9 months, from autumn 2013 onwards.

To apply, please send first (as soon as possible and in any case
before March 15, 2013) a CV to Thierry Poibeau and Benjamin Fagard
<firstname.lastname@ens.fr> and a brief description of a research
project so as to be able to evaluate the adequacy between the
candidate's project and the post. Relevant proposals will then be
examined by an independent committee on the basis of a full standard
application form to be sent by March 31, 2013.
