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

The Institute for Language, Cognition and Computation (ILCC) at the University
of Edinburgh invites applications for three-year PhD studentships starting in
September 2021. 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
- Machine Translation
- Speech technology
- Dialogue, multimodal interaction, language and vision
- Computational Cognitive Science , including language and speech,
decision-making, learning and generalization
- Social Media and Computational Social Science
- Human-Computer interaction, design informatics, assistive and educational
technology
- Information retrieval and visualization

Approximately 10 studentships from a variety of sources are available,
covering both maintenance at the research council rate of GBP 15,285 per year
and tuition fees. Studentships are available for UK, EU, and non-EU nationals.

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

For a list of academic staff at ILCC with research areas, and for a list of
indicative PhD topics, please consult:

Details regarding the PhD programme and the application procedure can be found
at:
http://www.ed.ac.uk/informatics/postgraduate/research-degrees/phd

There are TWO DEADLINES for applications to receive full consideration:
- round 1: 27th November 2020
- round 2: 29th January 2021

We strongly recommend that non-UK applicants submit their applications in
round 1, to maximise their chances of  funding. Please direct inquiries to the
PhD admissions team at ilcc-admissions at inf.ed.ac.uk.

Please note that the 3-year ILCC PhD program is distinct from the UKRI Centre
for Doctoral Training in Natural Language Processing, which offers a 4-year
PhD with integrated study: http://nlp-cdt.ac.uk/
