Zürich, Zürich, Schweiz University of Zurich Vollzeit

About the Position


The University of Zurich is seeking a highly motivated and accomplished researcher to join our team as a Postdoctoral Researcher in English Historical Linguistics.

Responsibilities


As a research team member, you will be responsible for collecting and analyzing lexical-semantic data from occupational domains such as Religion and Medicine. You will draw on the collected data to assess the impact of borrowing from Latin and French in these domains and participate in the theorization of the impact of period, region, genre, and semantic hierarchy on lexical standardization. Additionally, you will be involved in checking data collected by the doctoral student and overseeing the work of student assistants.

Requirements


To be successful in this role, you will have a PhD in English Historical Linguistics (Old and/or Middle English) and a strong publication record in historical semantics and lexicology. You will also have a background in historical corpus linguistics and database compilation, as well as familiarity with historical dictionaries and methodological approaches such as frame semantics and variationist linguistics. Proficiency in oral, written, and interpersonal communication in English is essential, with a working knowledge of German being desirable.

What We Offer


We offer a postdoc position with a workload of 80% (limited to 48 months) at an internationally renowned university. The WAW-ME project and the English Department provide a vibrant and stimulating work environment with a committed and collegial team that will support you in your independent research. You will have your own desk at the university and full access to excellent infrastructure, library services, and IT facilities.
