Description:

2 Ph.D. positions on tone and intonation: The Leiden University Center for
Linguistics invites applicants for two Ph.D. positions in experimental
phonetics, where you are encouraged to combine knowledge and skills from
language documentation, laboratory phonology, computational linguistics, and
psychology. The positions are funded by a Vici grant from the Netherlands
Organization for Scientific Research for research on speech melody (Project
Summary;
https://www.universiteitleiden.nl/en/research/research-projects/humanities/mel
ody-in-speech). We look for Ph.D. candidates who have a background in
linguistics (or related disciplines such as speech and hearing sciences,
psycholinguistics, or cognitive sciences) and are interested in basic research
on language sound systems and speech communication with a focus on tone and
intonation in understudied languages.  

Application date and requirements: To receive the fullest consideration,
applications should arrive no later than December 1, 2021, but the positions
will remain open until filled. The earliest starting date is Feb. 1, 2022, but
a later date is possible. Please include a motivation letter; a detailed
curriculum vitae; a sample academic writing; and the names, affiliations, and
contact information of two referees. 

For further details and to apply, please visit the application link below.  

Por further information on the Ph.D. positions and the Vici project, please
get in touch with Prof. dr. Yiya Chen at the email address below.
