The Meertens Institute of the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences invites applications for a full time PhD position in phonology.
The succesful applicant receives a training within the Dutch LOT-system, participating in the LOT Summer and Winter Schools. He/she will carry out research within the group Variation Linguistics of the Meertens Institute. The research should lead to a dissertation.

Specifically it investigates Limburg dialects, in the South East of the Netherlands, and the dialects spoken in the adjacent areas in Germany and Belgium. A description of this project can be found at here.
The project is supervised by Ben Hermans, Marc van Oostendorp (both at the Meertens Institute) and Paul Boersma (Institute of Phonetic Sciences at the University of Amsterdam) .
