 Institution/Organization: Heinrich-Heine-Universität Düsseldorf 
Department: English Language & Linguistics 
Web Address: https://www.anglistik3.hhu.de/en/ 

Level: PhD 

Specialty Areas: Computational Linguistics; Phonetics; Text/Corpus Linguistics 
 
Required Language(s): English (eng)
                      Japanese (jpn) 
                      Korean (kor) 

Description:

The Speech, Lexicon and Modeling Lab (https://slam.phil.hhu.de/) within the
English Linguistics section of the Institute for English and American Studies
(https://www.anglistik3.hhu.de/) at Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf
(Germany) is accepting applicants for a research position for a PhD candidate.
National and international applicants are welcome to apply. The candidate will
work in the Speech, Lexicon and Modeling Lab with Dr. Kevin Tang. The lab is
dedicated to advancing applied and theoretical research involving spoken
speech and grammar (phonetics and phonology) and word knowledge (lexicon) with
experimental and computational methods. The start date of the position is 1
October 2022.

About the position:
A PhD position is available for a highly motivated individual with an interest
in studying the fine variation in speech production (acoustic and articulatory
phonetics) from a computational perspective.

The candidate will join ongoing research into the relationship of
articulatory/acoustic phonetics with language predictability, using data from
English, Japanese, Korean, and potentially other languages. They will conduct
corpus analyses, computational modeling of acoustic and articulatory data, and
collaborate with other lab members in running experiments using a new
electromagnetic articulography (EMA) system.

The teaching requirement will be one course per semester in areas relevant to
the candidate’s research and expertise.

Qualifications:
Applicants should have an M.A./M.S. or equivalent degree in Linguistics,
Computational Linguistics, Phonetics, Data Science, or a related discipline. A
solid programming background in Python, R, and/or similar programming
languages is required. Teaching and research takes place in English; a working
knowledge of Japanese or Korean is desirable but not required. 

The ideal applicant would have:
 - Prior experience with speech research (especially EMA,
acoustic/articulatory data analyses, and conducting experiments) and/or
modeling large linguistic datasets
 - Keen interest in linguistics research, and be self-motivated and
hard-working
 - Excellent communication, written and interpersonal skills.
 - Willing to work in an interdisciplinary team.
 - Working knowledge of Japanese or Korean

What can we offer?
A funded position at the German scale TV-L E13, 50%. The appointment is
available for three years, beginning October 2022, with the possibility of an
extension depending on the availability of funding.
