One year, start between October and December 2011 at LORIA (Nancy, France). Description The objective is to synthesize speech from dynamic and static articulatory data of the vocal tract. Several kinds of data are available: X-ray films recorded in the eighties, static MRI data of the vocal tract, EMA data (electromagnetography, i.e. positions of sensors glued onto speech articulators acquired at a frame rate of 200 Hz) and ultrasound images of the tongue registered with respect to the speaker’s head. We already built an adaptable articulatory model, which describes the 2D geometry of the vocal tract from the larynx to the lips. The area function of the vocal tract can be derived easily from this model. We thus plan to animate this model from EMA or ultrasound data. The second part of the postdoc deals with the connection between the dynamics of the vocal tract shape provided by the articulatory model and the acoustic simulation. The synthesizer developed by S. Maeda can generate any speech sound, i.e. consonants and vowels, but the difficulty is to pilot the transitions between vowels and consonants relevantly to avoid any spurious artifact.

6-24 | (2011-09-21) Post Doctoral Position Available at the UCLA Voice Perception Laboratory Post Doctoral Position Available at UCLA
The UCLA Voice Perception Laboratory (the Bureau of Glottal Affairs) has an opening for a post-doctoral fellow, beginning no sooner than January, 2012. Initial appointment will be for one year, with renewal for a second year contingent on performance. The ideal candidate will have a strong interest in the empirical study of voice quality and its relationship to voice production and acoustics, and will enjoy the process of experimentation. Completion of the PhD degree prior to assuming the position is required.
The primary goal of the project supporting this position is to develop a psychoacoustic model of overall voice quality that can be linked theoretically and empirically to the physical changes in vocal fold vibration that cause perceived changes in quality. This psychoacoustic model will specify a set of perceptually-important acoustic parameters that combine to replicate and thereby quantify the overall, integral quality of a voice. We will assess the relationship between changes in the values of model parameters and changes in the perceived extent to which a voice deviates from normal quality. This will provide an explanatory model specifying how acoustic parameters combine and interact perceptually to determine the location of any voice sample along a continuum from “better” to “worse.” Finally, we will investigate the link between perceptually-important spectral changes and the associated alterations in glottal configuration, in order to identify targets for remediation that have the highest likelihood of producing vocal improvement during treatment.
Although the primary focus of the position is voice perception, the voice group at UCLA is highly interdisciplinary, and includes experts in linguistics and cognitive science, speech-language pathology, otolaryngology, mechanical and electrical engineering, and physics. In addition to perceptual research, facilities are available for high-speed imaging, physical and computational modeling, tissue engineering, in vivo and ex vivo modeling, and aeroacoustic studies, and collaborative interdisciplinary research is encouraged. Fellows may reserve up to 25% of their time to develop their own projects in these other areas.
Interested candidates should contact Jody Kreiman by email at jkreiman@ucla.edu.

6-31 | (2011-11-05) Postdoc position at Northeastern University Applications are invited for an anticipated postdoctoral position at Northwestern University in the area of computational modeling of the lexicon in many different languages. The postdoctoral fellow will work with linguistics professor Janet Pierrehumbert as a member of an interdisciplinary team that includes outstanding computer scientists and electrical engineers at four other American research institutions. The Northwestern component of the collaborative project will focus on novel methods for bootstrapping lexical networks from sparse statistical samples. The ideal candidate will have a Ph.D in computational linguistics, EECS, applied mathematics, or physics, and the demonstrated ability to create and document robust software. Familiarity with C, Python and Unix/Linux environments are a plus.
Negotiable start date in early 2012. Competitive salary scale comparable to postdoctoral positions in computer science. Initial appointment for one year with renewal subject to performance and availability of funding. Please apply by email with a statement of research interests and a CV including the names and contact information for three references. Send the application to: linguistics@northwestern.edu using the subject line: Pierrehumbert postdoc The application should arrive by December 10, 2011 to receive fullest consideration.
Northwestern is an Equal Opportunity Employer, and applications are encouraged from all qualified junior researchers. Hiring is contingent on eligibility to work in the United States. Non-US-residents will receive consideration for the position.

6-32 | (2012-10-27) Postdoc position in physiological data acquisition and processing in speech production LABEX project, Université Paris 3 We offer a one year postdoc position in physiological data acquisition and processing in speech production within the 10-year LABEX project 'Empirical foundations of linguistics' that started in 2011. The position is based in Paris, at the Laboratoire de phonetique et Phonologie (UMR 7018) from the Université de Paris 3. This postdoctoral position is linked to the strand « Phonetic and phonological complexity - boosting empirical approaches » of the LABEX project, and will be supervised by Lise CREVIER-BUCHMAN.
The successful candidate will contribute to the physiological and acoustic data collection, and will elaborate signal processing methods and tools to analyse/assess voice and speech in normal and pathological populations. Her responsibilities will include selecting and recording acoustic and articulatory data (ultrasound, EGG, video with high speed imaging and aerodynamics), carrying out acoustic and articulatory analyses. She/he will undertake experiments of two types. One will consist in defining parameters for acoustical and physiological data collection and designing analysis methods. The second will consist in an attempt of modelling phonatory and articulatory behaviours for i) normal standard and non standard productions such as whispered voice or singing styles, ii) and pathological productions. The aim is to better understand deviant speech production mechanisms and compensation capabilities.
The candidate will have a PhD in Engineering or signal processing (audio and video) with, if possible, some knowledge of experimental phonetics and speech sciences.
More information on the position can be found at http://www.labex-efl.org/?q=en/hiring/2012 or by contacting Lise CREVIER-BUCHMAN(lise.crevier@univ-paris3.fr)
Application deadline is April 10th 2012.
Candidate should send a CV with list of publications, a site web where publications can be found and the names of two referents to Martine Adda-Decker (madda@limsi.fr)
