PhD Studentships in Computational Linguistics, Speech Technology and Cognitive
Science
Institute for Language, Cognition and Computation
School of Informatics

The Institute for Language, Cognition and Computation (ILCC) at the University
of Edinburgh invites applications for three-year PhD studentships starting in
September 2019. ILCC is dedicated to the pursuit of basic and applied research
on computational approaches to language, communication and cognition.

Primary research areas include:
- Natural language processing and computational linguistics
- Speech technology
- Dialogue, multimodal interaction, language and vision
- Information retrieval and visualization, computational social science
- Computational models of human cognition and behavior, including language and
speech processing
- Human-Computer interaction, design informatics, assistive and educational
technology
- Psycholinguistics, language acquisition, language evolution, language
variation and change
- Linguistic foundations of language and speech processing

Approximately 15 studentships from a variety of sources are available,
covering both maintenance at the research council rate of GBP 14,777 per year
and tuition fees. Studentships are available for UK, EU, and non-EU nationals.

Applicants should have a good honours degree or equivalent in computer
science, cognitive science, AI, or a related discipline.
