Postdoctoral Research Associate
| Grade 7: £29,099 p.a. | |||
| The Phonetics Laboratory of the Faculty of Linguistics, Philology and Phonetics seeks to appoint a Postdoctoral Research Associate to work on the project ‘Word Joins in real-life speech: a large corpus-based study’ with Professor John Coleman (PI) and Dr Ros Temple. Candidates, who should be able to demonstrate experience in the methods of experimental phonetics and/or speech signal processing, will be expected to make a substantial contribution to the completion of the two linguistic research components of the project: (1) a study of word-final consonant assimilations, and (2) a study of word-final “t/d deletion”; both of these are based on the spoken English audio recordings of the British National Corpus, which we have digitised and are currently preparing for public release. Candidates should possess a higher degree in phonetics or in linguistics with a specialism in phonetics, or another relevant discipline concerned with the analysis of speech. Excellent IT, literacy and numeracy skills, as well as the ability to manage one's own research activities within guidelines provided by senior colleagues, will also be an advantage. This full-time post is funded by the ESRC and is fixed-term with an end date of 31 March 2013. Informal enquires about the post can be made to Professor John Coleman at john.coleman@phon.ox.ac.uk. Applications should be received by the closing date of noon on 3 January 2012. |
