The University of Tübingen offers a
postdoctoral position (E 13 TV-L, 100\%)

in the junior research group “The language dynamics of the ancient Central Andes”. The position will be available from February 1st 2019 and run for 30 months.

Applicants must hold a PhD in linguistics or a related field when taking up the position and already have extensive experience with Aymaran and/or other major Andean languages, ideally covering also the relationship between the languages and societies. Particularly strong applicants will also already have a track record of publications in international journals. A background in the anthropology of the Americas is also highly desirable, as is experience with fieldwork and working in a research group. Applicants should have excellent social skills.

Applications should include a letter of motivation, a CV with a list of publications that demonstrate relevant experience as described above, and a sample of academic work.

Equally qualified applicants with disabilities will be given preference. The employment will be carried out by the central administration of the University of Tübingen.
