[CogSci] PhD studentships in computational linguistics, speech technology, and cognitive science

[Christopher Lucas]

The Institute for Language, Cognition and Computation (ILCC) at the University of Edinburgh invites applications for three-year PhD

studentships starting in October 2023. 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, including language development/acquisition


    * Computational Cognitive Science, including language and speech, decision-making, learning and generalization


    * Machine Translation


    * Speech technology


    * Dialogue, multimodal interaction, language and vision


    * 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 17,668 (2022/23 rates) per year and tuition fees. Awards increase every year, typically with inflation.  Studentships are available for UK, EU, and non-EU nationals.


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

There are TWO DEADLINES for applications to receive full consideration:


round 1: 25th November 2022

round 2: 27th January 2023


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:
