The University of Neuchatel is seeking candidates with a PhD degree in Biology, internationally recognized research and funding record in behaviour and physiology, as well as an extensive teaching experience and administration skills.
The successful candidate will direct an independent laboratory at the Institute of Biology within the Faculty of Science. He or she will conduct top-level research that focuses on the physiological mechanisms underlying animal behaviour, including research on hormones and brain anatomy. Research should be focused on organismal biology, placing physiological results into an ecological/evolutionary framework. Applicants should possess the capacity to join an interdisciplinary research team on the evolution of complex communication, the NCCR Evolving Language. Teaching duties will be in the domains of medical physiology and behavioural physiology (full professor: 7h per week, assistant professor: 4h per week). Teaching is in French at Bachelor and English at Master level, requiring a commitm

The Department of Comparative Language Science at the University of Zurich invites applications for a permanent Lecturer position in the Mathematical Foundations of Language (Canton of Zurich pay scale 21, 100% FTE).
The successful candidate is expected to closely collaborate with and support members of the department and the NCCR Evolving Language. About 30 % of the position is devoted to teaching, both in his/her specific areas of expertise and in general statistical methods. The department’s main everyday language is English, but lecturers are expected to acquire conversational knowledge of German within two years. Teaching can be in English or German.
The main focus of the position is on the stochastic processes that underlie language change/phylogeny, language acquisition/ontogeny, and language comprehension/production. The ideal candidate has additional expertise and interest in one or more other branches of mathematics that are relevant for language – including, but not limited to, information theory, measure theory, set theory, complexity theory (especially formal language theory), or graph theory.
The position is meant to start April 1, 2024, or later. The committee will start reviewing applications by January 15, 2024. Applications will be considered until the position is filled.
Applications are to be submitted online via an online form here.
