PhD Studentships in Computational Linguisitisc, Speech Technology, and
Cognitive Science
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 2020. 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
- Speech technology
- Dialogue, multimodal interaction, language and vision
- Information retrieval and visualization, computational social science
- Computational models of human cognition, including language and speech,
decision-making, learning and generalization
- Human-Computer interaction, design informatics, assistive and educational
technology

Approximately 10 studentships from a variety of sources are available,
covering both maintenance at the research council rate of GBP 15,009 per year
and tuition fees. Studentships are available for UK, EU, and non-EU nationals.
Applicants should have a strong undergradudate degree or equivalent in
computer science, cognitive science, AI, or a related discipline.

For a list of academic staff at ILCC with research areas, and for a list of
indicative PhD topics, please consult:

In order to ensure full consideration, applications need to be received by 29
November 2019 (non-EU/UK applicants) or by 31 January 2020 (EU/UK applicants).
Please direct inquiries to the PhD admissions team at

Please note that the 3-year ILCC PhD program is distinct from the UKRI Centre
for Doctoral Training in Natural Language 

Processing, which offers a 4-year PhD with integrated study:
