Description:

This PhD project will be part of the larger VSLT project which aims to
achieve a breakthrough in the computational analysis and simulation of
visual communication, with a special focus on sign languages (SLs), in
which communication is entirely visual, as well as multimodal
communication, in which speech typically plays a primary role but
visual cues often have an important supporting role. The highly
interdisciplinary project involves researchers in computer vision and
machine learning, in linguistics specialised in multimodal
communication and sign language, and in computer graphics.

This position is co-funded by the PhD fellowship program of the
Department of Information and Communication Technologies at
Universitat Pompeu Fabra (DTIC-UPF), and the María de Maeztu Strategic
Research Programme at DTIC-UPF on Artificial and Natural Intelligence
for ICT and beyond. Admission in the PhD program of the Department of
Information and Communication Technologies at UPF is a prerequisite to
enjoy the contract.

This position includes a teaching commitment load of 45 hours per
academic year within engineering degrees of the UPF.

Gross monthly salary: 1,680€.
