Institute for Language, Cognition and Computation
School of Informatics
University of Edinburgh

The Institute for Language, Cognition and Computation (ILCC) at the University
of Edinburgh invites applications for three-year PhD studentships starting in
September 2012. ILCC is dedicated to the pursuit of basic and applied research
on computational approaches to language, communication and cognition. Primary
research areas include:

-Natural language processing and computational linguistics
-Spoken language processing
-Dialogue and multimodal interaction
-Information extraction, retrieval and presentation
-Computational theories of human cognition
-Educational and assistive technology

Approximately 8 studentships from a variety of sources are available, covering
maintenance at the research council rate of around GBP 13 500 per year, plus
tuition fees.

Applicants should have a good honours degree or equivalent in computational
linguistics, speech technology, cognitive science, computer science, or a
related discipline.
