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 (<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.univ-lille.fr">https://www.univ-lille.fr</a>), in
collaboration with Grenoble Alpes University
(<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.univ-grenoble-alpes.fr">https://www.univ-grenoble-alpes.fr</a>). 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.<br>
<br>
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.<br>
Lab in Lille: <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://scalab.univ-lille.fr">https://scalab.univ-lille.fr</a><br>
Lab in Grenoble: <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://lpnc.univ-grenoble-alpes.fr/">https://lpnc.univ-grenoble-alpes.fr/</a><br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
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.<br>
