POST-DOCTORAL POSITION FOR THE PROJECT TYPALOC (LPL - AIX-EN-PROVENCE, FRANCE)

We invite applications for a one-year Post‐Doctoral position at the Laboratoire Parole et Langage (LPL, Aix-Marseille Université, CNRS, UMR 7309, France), to work on the project TYPALOC (Normal and Abnormal Speech Variations: TYPology, Adaptation, LOCalisation).

•    Description
The TYPALOC project is funded by the The French National Research Agency (ANR). It aims at understanding the mechanisms of speech variation, which may be the result of physiological and/or linguistic constraints. In order to achieve this, the productions of healthy speakers and speakers suffering from dysarthria are compared. The production of these two populations is observed through different speech styles (reading and spontaneous speech) to highlight the mechanisms of speaker adaptation. The corpora are manually or automatically annotated at different levels (phonetic, syllabic, lexical, prosodic, etc.). Large-scale data processing and statistical analyses are therefore necessary to achieve the project.
More information is available at the project website:
http://typaloc.univ-avignon.fr/index.html


•    Job description
The post‐doctoral fellow will be mainly involved in data processing. He/she will participate in the acoustic analyses and will then have to implement the statistical analyses planned in the project.

•    Qualifications
A Ph.D. in linguistics or experimental phonetics and solid competence/experience in statistics and data analysis are required. Experience in speech-language pathology or speech therapy is also welcome.

•    Application procedure
Candidates should send a detailed CV with a list of publications, and a cover letter with statement of research interests and details of their experience in data analysis.
Please e-mail documents to:
christine.meunier@lpl-aix.fr
(Christine Meunier, LPL, Aix-en-Provence, France).

Deadline for submission: March 1, 2014
Expected start date: May 2014 (There is some flexibility.)
Length of contract: 12 months
Salary: €2000/month (net)
