This post-doc position is offered by the 10-year project 'Empirical foundations 
of linguistics' that started in 2011 and is linked to the strand « Phonetic and 
phonological complexity - boosting empirical approaches ».

The successful candidate will contribute to the physiological and acoustic 
data collection, and will elaborate signal processing methods and tools to 
analyse/assess voice and speech in normal and pathological populations. 
His/her responsibilities will include selecting and recording acoustic and 
articulatory data (ultrasound, EGG, video with high speed imaging and 
aerodynamics), carrying out acoustic and articulatory analyses.

Voice and speech assessment is a growing field which requires 
multiparametric evaluations. Clinical phonetics and medical sciences share 
the same instrumentations to explore vocal function at the physiological, 
acoustical and behavioural level. Physiological and articulatory data are still 
scarce however they convey information complementary to acoustic cues. 
This research aims at studying the complexity of speech production 
mechanisms as a whole, with the coordination of respiratory, phonatory and 
articulatory behaviour in normal phonation and detecting deviant or 
compensatory gestures due to pathology.

The successful candidate will undertake experiments of two types. One will 
consist in defining parameters for acoustical and physiological data collection 
and designing analysis methods. The second will consist in an attempt of 
modelling phonatory and articulatory behaviours for i) normal standard and 
non-standard productions such as whispered voice or singing styles, ii) and 
pathological productions. The aim is to better understand deviant speech 
production mechanisms and compensation capabilities.

The candidate will have a PhD in Engineering or signal processing (audio and 
video) with, if possible, some knowledge of experimental phonetics and 
speech sciences. Experience in the acoustic analysis of speech and in the 
testing of human participants is essential, and experience in articulatory 
investigation will be an advantage.
