Description:
Interdisciplinary Short-Term Fellowships in Speech Research
Edinburgh Speech Science and Technology (EdSST) is an interdisciplinary research
training programme that aims to close the gap between speech science, speech
therapy, phonetics, and speech technology. EdSST is a collaboration between two
major speech research institutes: the Centre for Speech Technology Research,
University of Edinburgh, and the Speech Science Research Centre, Queen Margaret
University College. EdSST is funded under the Early Stage Research Training
(EST) scheme of the EU Marie Curie Programme and runs for 4 years from January 2006.
EdSST covers six main research areas, each of which includes components from
speech science, speech therapy, phonetics, and speech technology:
- Articulatory phonetic instrumentation and modelling
- Speech synthesis
- Speech recognition
- Human-computer dialogue systems
- Inclusive design for speech technology
- Augmentative and alternative communication
We are currently advertising 1-2 Short-Term Fellowships lasting 4-12 months.
These Short-Term Fellowships provide an opportunity for outstanding young
graduate researchers and PhD candidates to conduct a well-defined research
project in one of the EdSST research areas at CSTR and SSRC. Applicants should
have a first or upper second class honours degree or a Masters in Informatics,
Phonetics, Speech Science, Linguistics, or Speech and Language Therapy and
fulfil the Marie Curie EST selection criteria
(http://europa.eu.int/comm/research/fp6/mariecurie-actions/pdf/faq_est.pdf).
Please contact the Project Manager, Maria Wolters (mwoltersinf.ed.ac.uk),
before applying.
