================================================================

The LINGUIST List strongly encourages employers to use
non-discriminatory standards in hiring policy. In particular we urge
that employers do not discriminate on the grounds of race, ethnicity,
nationality, age, religion, gender, or sexual orientation. However, we
have no means of enforcing these standards.

Job seekers should pay special attention to language in ads regarding
employment requirements and are encouraged to consult our international
employment page http://linguistlist.org/jobnet.html.

This page has been set up so that people can report on the employment
standards of various countries.

Description:

Research Fellow in Speech Synthesis

The Centre for Speech Technology Research at the University of Edinburgh is
seeking a research fellow to work on the leading text-to-speech research
toolkit, Festival (www.cstr.ed.ac.uk/projects/festival) through the ongoing
project 'Expressive Prosody for Unit-selection Speech Synthesis'. The project's
aims are to add explicit control of prosody to unit-selection speech synthesis,
generate prosody appropriate for communicating specific meanings and information
structures and to realise this prosody with sequences of appropriately-sized
pitch accents, arranged into valid intonation tunes. This project is jointly
lead by Simon King, Mark Steedman and Rob Clark (Edinburgh) and Dan Jurafsky
(Stanford, USA).
