Description:

We are pleased to share that we are recruiting three PhD students to
join our new ERC-funded project PROSODY-SENSES, coordinated by
Universitat Pompeu Fabra (Barcelona) in collaboration with several
international partner universities, starting in January 2027.
The project investigates prosody across languages and communicative
modalities, including spoken, signed, and tactile sign languages, with
a particular focus on multimodal communication. The current PhD
positions will focus on the implementation of prosody in Catalan
spoken language, as well as on Portuguese spoken and sign languages.
Soon we will be recruiting a total of seven PhD researchers and two
postdoctoral researchers, including the PhD positions currently
advertised and four additional positions focusing on Catalan Sign
Language, Catalan Tactile Sign Language, as well as spoken languages
such as Medʉmba and Cantonese. Please reach to us if you need more
information about the project.
Please see the announcements below for further information about the
currently advertised positions and application details.
