The academic freedom at Buber and the long fellowship period let me expand my interests and work into new sub-fields and form a somehow unusual specialisation cluster. I feel that this expansion made my work much more attractive for the linguistic audience. This (and luck) seem to have been crucial for the rather straightforward path after Buber. I left Buber for a non-tenure track faculty position at the University of Münster, and four years later started my current position at Innsbruck.
