PhD Researcher: Unraveling the Dynamics of Language Evolution
2 maanden geleden
This PhD research project focuses on understanding the interplay between biophysical and social factors in shaping language evolution and diversity. We aim to develop an agent-based modeling approach to simulate how languages change, merge, and split over time, using large datasets of environmental, demographic, sociocultural, and linguistic variables.
Key Responsibilities- Analyze data on biophysical and demographic variables across South America since 20,000 years ago;
- Develop a spatial agent-based simulation model of language evolution;
- Use this model to quantify the relative role of biophysical and sociocultural factors in shaping language diversity in South America.
- MSc in geoinformatics, computer science, (spatial / geographic) data science, or alternatively in a thematic domain, such as geography, linguistics, ecology, social science, with a considerable component of computational science or data science;
- Interest in the historical dynamics of culture and language;
- Experience in handling spatial data;
- Programming and modeling experience, preferably in Python;
- Proficiency in English;
- Strong communication skills;
- Ability to work independently as part of an interdisciplinary research team.
You will work in a multi-disciplinary team consisting of modellers, data scientists, research software engineers, linguists, and geographers from the Faculty of Geosciences, Utrecht University. You will closely cooperate with a PhD candidate in linguistics at Leiden University.
What We Offer- A position for one year, with an extension to a total of four years upon a successful assessment in the first year;
- A working week of 36 hours and a gross monthly salary between €2,872 and €3,670 in the case of full-time employment;
- 8% holiday pay and 8.3% year-end bonus;
- A pension scheme, partially paid parental leave and flexible terms of employment based on the CAO NU.
