From: Bernd Möbius [moebius at lst.uni-saarland.de]
Subject: Phonetics: Post Doc, Saarland University, Saarbrücken, Germany
University or Organization: Saarland University
Department: Language Science and Technology
Job Location: Saarbrücken, Germany
Web Address: http://www.sfb1102.uni-saarland.de/
Job Title: Postdoctoral Researcher
Job Rank: Post Doc
Specialty Areas: Phonetics; Computational Modeling
Description:
A postdoctoral researcher position is available at Saarland University, Dept.
of Language Science and Technology, in the DFG-funded Collaborative Research
Center "Information Density and Linguistic Encoding" (SFB 1102). SFB 1102 is a
large and varied Research Center that includes 16 research projects in the
areas of computational linguistics, psycholinguistics, theoretical
linguistics, and phonetics.
The aim of this postdoctoral research position is to contribute to project C1
of SFB 1102, entitled "Information density and the predictability of phonetic
structure", for the period 2/2020-6/2022. The project is concerned with the
relation between information density (ID) and phonetic encoding. Specifically,
one of the aims is to study interactions between the prosodic hierarchy and
the ID profile of utterances. Another aim is to investigate the effects of
channel characteristics and listener orientation on speakers' productions,
complemented by an analysis of listeners' exploitation of the predicted
enhancements that speakers implement. The opportunity for scientific training
is given.
This position will require an individual with expertise in experimental
phonetics and computational modelling of spoken language processes. You are
expected to have a PhD in experimental phonetics, speech science, spoken
language processing, computational linguistics, or a similar field. (Note that
the position requires a doctoral degree, but applications by people who have
not yet finished their degree by the time but will have submitted their thesis
by the starting date or shortly thereafter, are encouraged).
Details on the project and position as well as instructions for applications
are available under Reference number W1622 at
