Description:

We offer two fully-funded four-year PhD positions both starting at
September 1, 2026 focusing on developing and improving low-resource
speech and language technology for Low Saxon (which is a regional
language in the Netherlands). Note that knowledge about Low Saxon (or
proficiency in one of its varieties) is not required (but considered a
plus). We particularly invite those with a strong technical background
(i.e. computational linguistics), and an interest in supporting
regional languages through technology to read more about this position
and apply (before February 28) via the following link:
