Candidates should be able to demonstrate experience in the methods of experimental phonetics and/or speech signal processing which will make a substantial contribution to the completion of the two linguistic research components of the project: (1) a study of word-final consonant assimilations, and (2) a study of word-final "t/d deletion"; both of these are based on the spoken English audio recordings of the British National Corpus, which we have digitized and are currently preparing for public release. Candidates should possess a higher degree in phonetics or in linguistics with a specialism in phonetics, or another relevant discipline concerned with the analysis of speech. Excellent IT, literacy and numeracy skills, as well as the ability to manage one's own research activities within guidelines provided by senior colleagues, will also be an advantage. The post is funded by the ESRC and is fixed-term, with an end date of 31 March 2013. The post is full time.
