Description:

PhD positions in Bayesian models of Language Acquisition

We have several positions available for PhD students in our NSF-funded 
research project on Bayesian models of language acquisition. Applicants 
should have a solid mathematical and/or computational background and will 
work on projects such as data analysis using forced-alignment speech-
recognition technology and developing Bayesian models of language 
acquisition and language and vision. We expect to provide successful 
applicants with full financial support and a cross-disciplinary training 
program with a strong emphasis on Computer Science and/or Applied 
Mathematics. Applications for admission should be made to the graduate 
program of the Department of Cognitive and Linguistic Sciences at Brown 
University by January 2, 2008. 

For further information contact Mark Johnson or Katherine Demuth
(Katherine_Demuth at brown.edu). 

Application Deadline: 02-Jan-2008
