The Excellence Project 2023-2027 CECIL of the Department of Philology, Literature, and Linguistics at the University of Pisa aims to promote excellence in research and high-quality teaching in the field of countering language impoverishment, also with a view to expanding the international network of collaborations with scholars from European and non-European countries.

To this end, the Department announces a selection based on qualifications and research project for the academic year 2025-2026 aimed at identifying three scholars from foreign universities who intend to carry out independent and original research on topics related to the CECIL excellence project “Center of Excellence for Countering Language Impoverishment”.

The projects may include – but are not limited to – the following research areas:

• Development of reading and writing language skills and interaction between written and oral language
• Linguistic acquisition of Italian as L1 and of foreign languages
• Teaching of modern languages (mother tongue and foreign languages) and ancient languages for the development of linguistic awareness
• Development of methodologies aimed at conscious use of writing, from spelling correctness to lexical mastery, to adequate morphosyntactic articulation
• Applied linguistics, with particular attention to disabilities and learning disorders (dyslexia, dysgraphia, specific language impairment)
• Analysis, interpretation, and translation of texts, from antiquity to the present day
• Treatment and analysis of digital texts; development of digital tools for linguistic enhancement
• Theories, methodologies, and practices of translation from antiquity to the present
• Theories, approaches, and analytical tools for the interpretation of the literary text

The deadline for submitting applications is set for July 5, 2025 at 12:00 a.m. (CET).

Applications will be evaluated by a committee composed of members of the CECIL Project Board and the International Departmental Commission, which will assess the project proposal.
