LINGUIST List 22.4404 Sat Nov 05 2011 Jobs: Physiological Data Acq & Processing: Post Doc, Laboratory EFL Editor for this issue: Christy Bird <christylinguistlist.org> The LINGUIST List strongly encourages employers to engage in non-discriminatory hiring practices. We urge employers not to discriminate on the grounds of race, ethnicity, nationality, disability, age, religion, gender, or sexual orientation. However, we have no means of enforcing these standards. Job seekers should pay special attention to language in ads regarding employment requirements and are encouraged to consult our international employment page at http://linguistlist.org/jobs/jobnet.html. This page has been set up so that people can report on the employment standards of various countries.

The successful candidate will contribute to the physiological and acoustic data collection, and will elaborate signal processing methods and tools to analyse/assess voice and speech in normal and pathological populations. His/her responsibilities will include selecting and recording acoustic and articulatory data (ultrasound, EGG, video with high speed imaging and aerodynamics), carrying out acoustic and articulatory analyses. Voice and speech assessment is a growing field which requires multiparametric evaluations. Clinical phonetics and medical sciences share the same instrumentations to explore vocal function at the physiological, acoustical and behavioural level. Physiological and articulatory data are still scarce however they convey information complementary to acoustic cues. This research aims at studying the complexity of speech production mechanisms as a whole, with the coordination of respiratory, phonatory and articulatory behaviour in normal phonation and detecting deviant or compensatory gestures due to pathology. The successful candidate will undertake experiments of two types. One will consist in defining parameters for acoustical and physiological data collection and designing analysis methods. The second will consist in an attempt of modelling phonatory and articulatory behaviours for i) normal standard and non-standard productions such as whispered voice or singing styles, ii) and pathological productions. The aim is to better understand deviant speech production mechanisms and compensation capabilities. The candidate will have a PhD in Engineering or signal processing (audio and video) with, if possible, some knowledge of experimental phonetics and speech sciences. Experience in the acoustic analysis of speech and in the testing of human participants is essential, and experience in articulatory investigation will be an advantage.
