Studentship: Interdisciplinary PhD studentship for student interested
in Prosody/Speech Synthesis

A PhD studentship is available immediately in a joint project between
University College Dublin,  and MediaLabEurope,   the recently opened
European extension of MIT's well known Media Lab.    The focus of the
research  will  be  the  acoustic analysis of cues in Infant Directed
Speech which might facilitate segmentation into words by infants. The
position  may  suit  a  candidate  with  a solid primary degree in
experimental  or   cognitive  psychology,   linguistics,   especially
phonetics and  experimental phonology,  or computer science.   Strong
programming  skills  (C/C++ or Java)  are  a prerequisite,  as is the
ability to work independently. The successful applicant will work both
with Dr Fred Cummins at U.C.D. and Dr Deb Roy of the MIT Media Lab and
MediaLabEurope.   The  student  will  be  based at the attractive new
MediaLab premises in the center of Dublin, in the refurbished Guinness's
Hopstore.   A  very  competitive  stipend and full fee remission will
accompany  the  studentship.    Starting  date is as soon as possible.
Initial inquiries about the position should be emailed to
fred.cummins at ucd.ie with the subject line "MLE/UCD Studentship".
