[CogSci] PhD position - neurolinguistics & computational modeling

[Anahita Basirat]

We are looking for a PhD student to work on a computational modeling 
project in the field of neurolinguistics. The position is at the 
University of Lille in France (https://www.univ-lille.fr), in 
collaboration with Grenoble Alpes University 
(https://www.univ-grenoble-alpes.fr). The project aims to develop a 
neurocomputational model addressing the link between perception and 
language production. The collection of new data to test the predictions 
made by the model could also be considered. The computational goal is to 
account for the adaptation of the speech production system to perceptual 
inputs (musical rhythm and model speakers) in typical speakers and those 
with Parkinson’s disease.

This 3-year position is fully funded by the French National Centre for 
Scientific Research (CNRS). The PhD student will be co-supervised by 
Anahita Basirat and Julien Diard.
Lab in Lille: https://scalab.univ-lille.fr
Lab in Grenoble: https://lpnc.univ-grenoble-alpes.fr/

The planned start date is 1 October 2023 with some leeway but definitely 
before January, 2024. Applications will be considered until the position 
is filled.

Applicants must hold a master's degree at the beginning of the PhD. The 
candidate must have a background in computer science, applied 
mathematics or signal processing, with a strong affinity for cognitive 
science, or instead a background in cognitive science, with a strong 
affinity for mathematical modeling. The candidate must have previous 
experience in scientific research in a laboratory. Mastery of a 
scientific calculus language, or of a general-purpose programming 
language is required (e.g., R, Python, Matlab, etc.). Previous 
experience in probabilistic, dynamic systems, or connectionist modeling 
is a plus but is not required. Previous knowledge in the field of speech 
sciences or psycholinguistics/neurolinguistics is also a plus. Knowledge 
of French is not necessary.
