PhD candidate (1,0 FTE) in Ancient Central Asian (Tarim Basin) Contact Linguistics
Leiden University | Faculty of Humanities
APPLICATION DEADLINE: 30/9/2024
About the Project:
Leiden University, Faculty of Humanities, Leiden University Centre for Linguistics (LUCL), is looking for aPhD candidate (1,0 FTE) in Ancient Central Asian (Tarim Basin) Contact Linguistics
to work on“Sogdian and Bactrian wanderers: Linguistic contacts of Sogdian and Bactrian in the Tarim Basin”as part of the ERC-funded projectThe Silk Road Language Web.
In “Sogdian and Bactrian wanderers”, the linguistic influence of the Middle Iranian languages Sogdian and Bactrian in the Tarim Basin is to be investigated systematically. Both languages are not native to the Tarim Basin, but were extremely influential, as evidenced by many loanwords and names.
It is known that Sogdian was spread by Sogdian traders, who also settled in different places throughout the Tarim Basin. Bactrian was the language of the Kuṣānas, but it is not well understood how exactly it reached into the Tarim Basin.
While Sogdian and Bactrian influence in Tocharian is recognised, no systematic investigation exists. Although similar influence is to be expected in Khotanese, little research has been done on the topic.
Key responsibilities
Writing a PhD thesis under the supervision of Prof. Michaël Peyrot;
Discussing and sharing (unpublished) results with the other team members;
Submitting research results for publication in peer-reviewed academic journals;
Presenting papers at international conferences;
Co-organizing scientific activities such as conferences or lectures;
Organizing and participating in reading and discussion groups, seminars and workshops within LUCL.
Selection criteria
An MA degree in a relevant field;
Demonstrable affinity with historical linguistics, linguistic reconstruction, philology and contact linguistics;
A scientific focus and creative approach, excellent analytical skills, and the ability to work both independently and as part of a team;
Knowledge of one or more of the following languages: Bactrian, Gāndhārī, Khotanese, Sogdian, Tocharian;
Good writing skills;
Proficiency in English.
Applications
Please submit your application online no later than 30 September 2024 via the blue button in our application system. Your application should include:
A motivation letter of max. 2 A4, explaining how your expertise is relevant to carrying out the research;
A curriculum vitae, with a list of any publications;
A short research proposal (max. 1000 words), in which you describe how you would plan the project, which research questions you would formulate, which sources you would use, which matters you find in need of special attention, how you would tackle any existing deficiencies in your knowledge, etc.;
A copy of your MA thesis and any other publication in English that is representative for your research qualities.
