Job Title: Two postdoctoral research positions

Specialty Areas: Computational Linguistics; General Linguistics; Phonetics; Semantics; Sociolinguistics 


Description:

The Laboratoire Parole et Langage (CNRS, Aix-Marseille Université) invites
applications for two postdoctoral positions to be supported by a grant from
the A*MIDEX Foundation. The funded project explores the relationship between
social variables and linguistic representation, and seeks to develop and
extend an explicit cognitive model that accounts for the effects of
socio-indexical cues on production and perception. The empirical basis for the
project involves a combination of experimentation (production, perception,
ERP), corpus analysis, and computational modeling.  The selected applicants
will engage with an interdisciplinary team from the Institute of Language,
Communication, and the Brain (formerly the BLRI) which includes experts in
neuroscience, psychology, computer science, and mathematics, among other
areas.

A special emphasis of the project concerns issues in prosody and intonation,
so an interest in, or experience with, prosody is highly desirable. In
addition, the ideal applicant will have experience in one or more of the
following areas:
-Sociolinguistics (quantitative)
-Machine learning and statistical modeling (esp. sound structure/phonetics)
-Design and analysis of speech corpora
-Prosody and meaning (esp. information structure)

Knowledge of French is not essential. Each postdoctoral appointment is for
approximately 18-24 months depending on the starting date. Candidates must
have completed all PhD requirements before the starting date. The starting
date is flexible, though the position should be filled by 1 June 2017.

Applications should include (i) a cover letter that relates the applicants’
experience and interests to the project, (ii) a comprehensive CV, (iii) a PDF
copy of all publications or a list of links where these can be accessed, and
(iv) the names and contact information of at least two references.

Applications in French or English may be sent by email to Oriana Reid-Collins
at oriana.reid-collins at lpl-aix.fr. 

For further inquiries regarding the position or the project, please contact
James Sneed German (principal investigator) at james.german at lpl-aix.fr.
