Job description

I am a member of CLEAR research group at UiT. I work on the postdoctoral project entitled "Constructional Landscape of Russian Syntax: Modeling native speakers' knowledge for second language learners (CLARUS)." The main objective is to build and calibrate the Russian Constructicon, an open-access electronic resource that offers a searchable database of over 2200 multiword syntactic constructions accompanied with thorough descriptions of their properties (available here). In 2022, I also lead a project on building a new educational resource called Construxercise! for students and instructors of L2 Russian.

My duties include

• data collection and analysis of Russian constructions;
• dissemination of research results;
• work on the content of the Russian Constructicon electronic resource (see also project page);
• building the Construxercise! resource that hosts over 150 practical exercises on Russian discourse constructions;
• organizing an international advanced PhD course on constructicon-building  “Constructicography: Advanced Topics in Construction Grammar” (to be held in Spring 2023);
• organizing and running weekly on-line meetings of project members from different research institutions in two/three different countries;
