Description:
LabEx Empirical Foundations of Linguistics

offering a doctoral position for a PhD-student
interested in the phonetics and phonology of
French. The more specific research questions

research lab at Sorbonne Paris Cité University.
The successful candidate will further benefit
from the highly stimulating and
interdisciplinary LabEx EFL research
environment, and in particular, from regularly
organized series of Labex EFL lectures given by
internationally invited professors. The PhD
thesis can be written in French or English.
Requirements:
Candidates should posses:
- master's degree in Speech Sciences;
- preferably native or near-native competence
in French;
- demonstrated success in undertaking a
personal research project.
