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.
