Description:

1 PhD Position in Phonetics/Speech Sciences at Zurich University (3 years,

the musicalized speech of the Composed Theatre using musical analytic and 
phonetic methods'. This is a co-project between the Bern University of Arts and 
the Phonetics Laboratory at Zurich University. The present post will be placed at 
the Phonetics Laboratory, another (non-phonetic) PhD position will be at the Bern 
University of Arts.

The project aims at studying the characteristics and functions of speech in 
Composed Theatre. We will use acoustic analytic methods and perceptual tests to 
identify segmental and prosodic features that are characteristics for the Composed 
Theatre and we will test their effects on the audience using perception 
experiments.

The Phonetics Lab is run by a team of enthusiastic academics with interests in a 
variety of areas in phonetics and speech sciences. We work closely together with 
researchers from the departments of General Linguistics, German, Romance and 
English language as well as Psychology and Audiology.

Requirements:
- Master (e.g. MA, MSc, MRes, etc.) in Phonetics, Speech Sciences, Linguistics, 
Information Technology or related area.

You should have an interest (or already experience) in areas like:
- Use of speech in theatre and music performances (in particular 'composed 
theatre')
- Acoustic Analysis of Speech
- Speech Signal Processing
- Speech Perception
- Statistics

Payment for the position will be between 41.400 and 47.400 CHF/year (depending 
on year).

Your application should consist of the following items:
- CV (including publications, if available)
- List of grades
