We are seeking to appoint a three-year Marie Curie Trainee to complete a PhD research project in the Research Department of Speech Hearing and Phonetic Sciences at UCL, commencing no later than 1 January 2013.
The post-holder will complete a project under the supervision of Dr. Paul Iverson, Prof. Valerie Hazan and Dr. Mara Luisa Garca Lecumberri (University of the Basque Country, Spain), which will examine how speakers and listeners modify their phonetic perception and production during speech communication, particularly among second-language learners. The post-holder will have some scope to adapt the project based on their interests.
The post-holder will be a member of the FP7 Marie Curie Initial Training Network Investigating Speech Processing In Realistic Environments (INSPIRE) which comprises 10 European research institutes and 7 associated partners, and has the aim of training researchers to investigate how people recognise speech in real life under a wide range of conditions that are "non-optimal" relative to the controlled conditions in laboratory experiments. The Research Department of Speech Hearing and Phonetic Sciences is one of the largest groupings of researchers in this field in the UK, and is part of the Division of Psychology and Language Sciences within the newly formed Brain Sciences Faculty of UCL. The project will be based at UCL, but the post-holder will also be required to undertake some work and travel in other countries within the INSPIRE network.
