The newly funded Spezialforschungsbereich (SFB) 'Language Between Redundancy and Deficiency' is seeking to hire a post-doc at the University of Graz, starting in March 2024, or as soon as possible thereafter. The SFB consists of 8 subprojects and an administrative subproject in the areas of syntax, morphology and semantics, investigating the interface of the symbolic system of grammar and the stochastic cognitive system.
