Guidelines for applications: http://www.rug.nl/let/
clcg/positions/
These guidelines should be used for writing your application for a research
position leading to a PhD in our Graduate School. All positions are for a period of
four years, on the condition of a positive evaluation after 18 months.
The goal of the application format is twofold:
1. It will enable us to judge the merit of the topic which you wish to study in
relation to the goals of the specific research programme within the field of
linguistics.
2. It will enable us to compare the relative merits of the applicants efficiently and
with a minimum of bias.
Please respect these guidelines. Applications that do not follow this format will be
rejected.
Your application should consist of the following elements in the following order:
1. A letter of application
2. A curriculum vitae, including date and place of birth, the name of your
secondary school, and (if applicable) list of academic publications
3. A certified copy of your diploma ('doctorandus' or MA degree, or an equivalent)
and your academic record and grades
4. Two academic references
5. A research project proposal of no more than three pages (plus figures and
references).
Our most important question in evaluating project sketches is always: will this
project contribute to our scientific understanding of language? To determine this
we want to know whether an important question is addressed, and whether there
is a reasonable strategy for finding an answer. See for more requirements
regarding the sketch: http://www.rug.nl/let/
