Subject:  Prosody - Interdisciplinary PhD Studentship/ Dublin

Pending funding approval, a PhD studentship will shortly be available
in University College Dublin (Department of Computer Science) within a
collaborative project with MediaLab Europe, also based in Dublin.  The
project is inherently cross-disciplinary, and addresses the nature and
causes of wholesale changes which speakers make to their prosody
(timing and intonation) under specific circumstances.  The work will
entail analysis of existing speech databases, and conducting novel
speech experiments.  Incorporation of the results into speech-based
interfaces may be possible. The position may suit a candidate with a
solid background in any of experimental or cognitive psychology,
linguistics, especially phonetics and experimental phonology, or
computer science.  Strong programming skills (preferably C/C++) are a
prerequisite. The successful applicant will work both with Dr Fred
Cummins at U.C.D. and Dr Deb Roy of the MIT Media Lab and MediaLab
Europe.  A very competitive stipend and full fee remission will
accompany the studentship.  Starting date is as soon as
possible. Initial inquiries about the position should be emailed to
fred.cummins at ucd.ie with the subject line "Postgraduate application/
MLE project".
