The Institute for Language, Cognition and Computation (ILCC) at the University of Edinburgh invites applications for three-year PhD studentships starting in October 2023. 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 17,668 (2022/23 rates) per year and tuition fees. Awards increase every year, typically with inflation. Studentships are available for UK, EU, and non-EU nationals.
