>#####################################################################
>Three PhD Students for Foreign Speech Comprehension (1,0 fte)
>
>Faculty of Arts
>Maximum salary:  2,612 gross/month
>Vacancy number: 23.09.12
>Closing date: 15 April 2012
>
>Responsibilities
>As a PhD student you will participate in one of two research projects on
>how non-native listeners learn and process reduced pronunciation variants
>that are highly frequent in spontaneous speech (e.g. English mis instead
>of mist). One project is funded by a Starting Grant from the European
>Research Council, other by a VICI Grant from the Netherlands Organization
>for Scientific Research. Both projects are directed by Professor Mirjam
>Ernestus. You will write at least three papers on the basis of this
>research for high-impact international journals.
>
>General descriptions of the project:
>The ERC and VICI projects investigate in detail how adult learners of a
>foreign language develop and use lexical representations for reduced
>pronunciation variants and how their listening skills can be improved. The
>projects aim at providing a first theory of how listeners learn to
>understand words in conversational speech in a foreign language.
>
>PhD project E1 will investigate the nature of lexical representations that
>advanced late learners have developed for reduced variants in their
>foreign language, how they use these representations, and how this can be
>improved. It will study how native speakers of Dutch process vowel
>devoicing and categorical deletion of schwa in French.
>
>PhD project E2 will investigate advanced late learners' sensitivities to
>subtle details of speech signals which act as cues to reduced sounds and
>how their comprehension of words can be improved with these subtle cues.
>It will study how native speakers of Spanish process gradient reduction of
>schwa and of word-final consonant clusters in English.
>
>PhD project V1 will investigate how starting learners store phonetic
>details of reduced pronunciation variants in their lexical
>representations, how these representations develop over time, and the role
>of the native language therein. It will study how Dutch and Spanish young
>adults learn pronunciation variants with reduced vowels in English and
>French.
>
>Work environment
>Radboud University Nijmegen is strategically located in Europe and is one
>of the leading academic communities in the Netherlands. Established in
>1923 and situated in the oldest city of the Netherlands, it has nine

>teaching and research. Research at the Faculty of Arts is embedded in two
>research institutes: the institute for Historical, Literary and Cultural
>Studies (HCLS) and the Centre for Language Studies (CLS).
>
>Your research will be embedded in the Centre for Language Studies at the
>Faculty of Arts. Research at the CLS is centred around two themes. The
>current project is in line with the theme 'Language in Mind'.
>
>What we expect from you
>- you should have, or shortly expect to obtain an MSc degree in an area
>related to speech processing: such as psychology, cognitive neurosciences,

>- you should be able to quickly learn new research methods and data
>analysis methods.
