This sub-project will research sensorial practices in everyday and professional interactions, articulating them with empirical work in multimodal conversation analysis, and with theoretical work on Garfinkel and ethnomethodology. In particular, the PhD position will develop, together with Lorenza Mondada (linguistics) and Christian Meyer (sociology), a special focus on synaesthesia in social interaction, on the basis of field and video materials documenting food activities (such as in gastronomy).

This is a position for further scientific qualification (doctorate). The opportunity for this is given within the scope of the official duties.
Your profile:
- Relevant, above-average academic degree (Master's or comparable), preferably in linguistics or in related disciplines, e.g., sociology, social sciences, and media studies
- Training and/or scientific expertise in the topics of the CRC and more particularly in the field of social interaction (conversation analysis, ethnomethodology)
- Capacity to work and write in English, as well as ability to engage in fieldwork and data analysis in German and possibly French (other languages are also welcome)
- If possible, experience in the organization of scientific events
- Teamwork and communication skills
