Supervised
PhD projects at Bremen: past and current
Supervised
PhD projects at Bremen: This page provides a listing of the PhD activities I am supervising or have supervised at the University of Bremen since joining the university in 1999. There are two categories: running (up until publication) and finished (published). Running dissertations presented in italic boldtype have already been successfully defended and are waiting on publication as required by the German PhD regulations.
| Areas | Work can be considered in any of the areas of relevance to the applied linguistics programme in the English or Linguistics Departments at Bremen, but work in discourse analysis, translation theory, computational linguistics, multilingual and multimodal descriptions, computational and formal ontology, and functional grammar is particularly encouraged. |
| Regulations | Carrying out PhD work is subject to the regulations for Promotionen as they apply to Fachbereich 10 of the University. The current regulations and forms of the University can be downloaded from the site of the responsible university committee, the Promotionsausschuss, here. Dissertations can be written in English or German. The University career centre also has a page describing possibilities. |
| Funding | There are currently no PhD-Stipends or grants available from my research group or from the Faculty. Such funding needs to be explicitly applied for by the applicant from a regular funding agency, such as the DFG or DAAD, if required. Research positions are occasionally available within funded research projects with specified goals and methods: check the research projects page for vacancies. |
