Description:

Copenhagen Business School invites applications for a vacant PhD 
scholarship in empirical modeling of eye movements in reading, writing and 
translation.

Considerable progress has been made in eye-tracking technology over the 
past decade, allowing to capture  gaze behavior with free head movements 
during reading. However, the imprecision of the measured signal makes it 
difficult to analyze the eye-gaze movement in reading tasks where a precise 
local resolution of the gaze samples is required to track the reader's gaze 
path over a text. The PhD position will investigate methods to cancel out the 
noise from the gaze signal. The PhD candidate will investigate, design and 
implement empirically-based models of eye-gaze movements in reading 
which take into account physical properties of the visual system in addition to 
background information, such as the purpose of the reading activity, the 
structure of the text, the quality of the gaze signal, etc. 

The PhD candidate should have:
- an interest in cognitive modeling of human reading, writing and translation 
processes
- a basic understanding of browser and eye-tracking technology
- knowledge of probability theory and statistical modeling advanced 
programming skills

The PhD position is offered at the Department of International Business 
Communication at the Copenhagen Business School (CBS). The Department 
of International Business Communication is a new department at CBS whose 
fields of interest include the role of language(-s) in interlingual and 
intercultural communication, the role of language and culture competences in
