[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 September 2024.. 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

    * Machine Translation

    * Speech technology

    * Dialogue, multimodal interaction, language and vision

    * Computational Cognitive Science , including language and speech,

      decision-making, learning and generalization

    * 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 19,162 (2024/25 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.
