Institute of Communicating and Collaborative Systems
The Institute of Communicating and Collaborative Systems (ICCS) within
the School of Informatics and the Human Communication Research Centre
(HCRC) invites applications for a three-year PhD studentship funded by
the European Research Council, starting in September 2008.
The successful applicant will work on a project that investigates the
synchronous processing of linguistic and visual information. The project
studies key features of synchronous processing by tracking participants'
eye movements when they view a naturalistic scene and listen to a speech
stimulus at the same time. The experimental results will feed into a
series of computational models that predict the eye-movement patterns
that humans exhibit when they view a scene and listen to speech at the
same time. These models will incrementally construct aligned linguistic
and visual representations, and will be evaluated against eye-tracking
data.
The PhD student will be part of a team of experts in linguistic and
visual processing, including both experimentalists and computational
modellers. The student will contribute to the modelling component of the
project, and should have previous experience in image processing,
computer vision, or computational models of perception and attention.
Applicants should have a good honours degree or equivalent in cognitive
science, artificial intelligence, computer science, or a related
discipline. Good programming skills, preferably in Matlab, Java, C, or
C++, are required. Familiarity with probabilistic modelling and machine
learning is essential.
The studentship will provide maintenance only funding at an enhanced UK
research council rate.
Informal enquiries regarding this studentship can be made to Dr Frank
Keller (keller at inf.ed.ac.uk). Further details about the project can
also be found at
http://www.inf.ed.ac.uk/events/news/kellerercgrant.html.
Applications are welcome from UK, EU and overseas candidates. To apply
please submit an application form and the required application papers,
including a statement of research interests (which should include
details regarding the particular research direction you would be
interested in within the remit of this studentship). Application forms
and details on how to apply are available from our website at
http://www.inf.ed.ac.uk/postgraduate/apply.html (at question 21 on the
application form, please indicate "ICCS ERC Studentship").
Application deadline: 31 March 2008.
Applications after that date may be considered if the studentship has
not been allocated.
