The School of Psychology at the University of Kent will shortly be inviting applications for a number of research scholarships to commence in September 2020. Some scholarships will take the form of School of Psychology/Vice Chancellor's Research Scholarships administered under the Graduate Teaching Assistant Scheme (GTA). The GTA will cover tuition fees at the Home/EU rate (please note, non-Home/EU students would be required to pay additional fees of approximately £11,000 per annum) plus a combined maintenance grant and salary, equivalent to the maintenance grant offered by the ESRC.  The GTA will be offered for one year in the first instance, renewable to a maximum of three years, subject to satisfactory academic performance. The School of Psychology will release a formal advert for these scholarships at the end of November/start of December. We anticipate that the deadline for applications will be January 19th. In the meantime, we invite interested students to send an informal enquiry to the relevant member of staff listed below. In cases where a project is feasible, we will be able to work with you to develop the application over the next months prior to the deadline.  

Possible PhD Projects and further information 

The members of the Developmental Psychology Group listed below would like to hear from potential applicants who are interested in studying for a PhD. This list of possible projects is not exhaustive and is intended to illustrate the kinds of project that these members of staff are keen to supervise. There will be flexibility in the choice of project topic, and a recipient of a Scholarship will have the opportunity to develop a project with their supervisor. 

Dr. Kirsten Abbot-Smith (email K.Abbot-Smith@kent.ac.uk)

Projects on verbal social communication (pragmatic language) in either children with Autism Spectrum Conditions or typically-developing children. I am particularly keen on supervising a project on conversation topic management and how one or more of the following factors might influence this: personal topic interest, topic knowledge, cognitive flexibility, social motivation.

Dr. Lindsey Cameron (email L.Cameron@kent.ac.uk)

This studentship will involve applied research developing and testing theoretically-based classroom interventions to reduce prejudice and stereotyping in children and adolescents.

Dr. David Kelly (email D.J.Kelly@kent.ac.uk)

We use eye-tracking to explore various aspects of visual and cognitive development in the first year of life. Currently, we have particular interests in studying social interaction and trying to identify potential early markers of developmental disorders such as autism. 

Dr. Anna Brown (email A.A.Brown@kent.ac.uk)

The project will examine whether current practices of selecting children to grammar schools based on 11-plus testing are valid, fair and effective, based on an analysis of longitudinal data from the National Pupil Database, and data sampled locally.

The Department of Language Science at the University of California, Irvine, invites applications for Fall, 2020, for a new language science doctoral program (https://grad.uci.edu/academics/degree-programs/phd/LanguageSciencePHD.php). UCI is located in Orange County, CA, between Los Angeles and San Diego, and just minutes from the ocean. We are a Department of Language Science that merges the cross-disciplinarity of linguistics, psychology, and cognitive neuroscience with a focus on computational and experimental studies of language development, semantics and pragmatics, syntax, speech, and bilingualism.  As the first of its kind in the country, our program provides a new approach to the science of language, enabling exciting opportunities for deep collaboration and cutting edge cross-fertilization.  Our aim is to prepare students to be at the forefront of change in the field, empowering them to be the future leaders driving innovation. Our faculty bring expertise in innovative technologies for quantitative, neuroscientific, and behavioral approaches to language science. Graduate training incorporates curricular flexibility, development of technical communication skills, and prioritization of research early in the graduate career. We welcome applications from students who wish to develop cross-disciplinary collaborations across different faculty research programs.
We encourage prospective students to contact faculty for specific information about their labs or Judith Kroll (judith.kroll@uci.edu), graduate director, for more general information about the program.  The deadline for applications is December 1, 2019.

PhD Scholarships in Phonetics – Macquarie University – Australia

Macquarie University is offering three PhD scholarships in Phonetics

A. Multicultural Australian English: The new voice of Sydney

Two scholarships are offered in conjunction with the Australian Research Council Future Fellowship project “Multicultural Australian English: The new voice of Sydney” awarded to Prof. Felicity Cox (2019-2022). This project examines the relationship between speech production and ethnic diversity in a multicultural environment.

Scholarship 1: A bundled Masters by Research + PhD scholarship (1+3 years) available to eligible domestic students. Closing date 15^thOctober 2019.

https://www.mq.edu.au/research/phd-and-research-degrees/scholarships/scholarship-search/data/multicultural-australian-english-the-new-voice-of-sydney

Scholarship 2: A direct-entry PhD scholarship (3 years) available to eligible international students. Closing date 31st July 2019.

https://www.mq.edu.au/research/phd-and-research-degrees/scholarships/scholarship-search/data/multicultural-australian-english-the-new-voice-of-sydney2

The suitable applicants should have disciplinary background in phonetics or sociophonetics. The specific topic of the candidate's research project is negotiable. Potential projects may include:

• acoustic and/or articulatory examination of select phonetic features of Australian English used by adolescents from a range of heritage language backgrounds such as Arabic, Mandarin, Hindi, German, Vietnamese, English
• analysis of the relationship between speech production and the level and type of speaker engagement with the local community
• ethnophonetic analysis of social microcultures within a school setting
• examination of sound change through a comparison between select acoustic data from the Multicultural Australian English project and archival Australian English data
• examination of sound change through agent based modelling

B. Children's speech, community diversity and the emergence of sound change

A scholarship is offered in conjunction with the Australian Research Council Discovery Project “Children's speech, community diversity and the emergence of sound change” awarded to Prof. Felicity Cox (2019-2021) and Prof. Jonathan Harrington (Institute of Phonetics and Speech Processing, Ludwig Maximilians University of Munich). This project aims to explain how children's speech processing adapts to cultural and linguistic diversity and how such adaptation may seed sound change in language.

The suitable applicants should have disciplinary background in phonetics or sociophonetics. The specific topic of the candidate's research project is negotiable. Potential projects may include:

• examination of change in select phonetic features of Australian English used by children from Arabic or English language backgrounds
• analysis of speech processing in children from culturally diverse vs culturally homogeneous rural/urban communities
• acquisition of social-indexical knowledge
• the effects of interlocutor characteristics on linguistic accommodation

Scholarship 3: A direct-entry PhD scholarship (3 years) available to eligible domestic students. Closing date 30th June 2019.

The University of Konstanz with its “Institutional Strategy to promote 
Top-Level Research” has been receiving continuous funding since 2007 within 
the Excellence Initiative by the German Federal and State Governments. 
In the Faculty of Humanities, the Linguistics Department has within the 
Research Unit „Questions at the Interfaces“: 
2 Doctoral Research Positions in Linguistics/Language Acquisition available, Salary Scale 13TV-L/65% 

The positions are funded by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft and 
are available for three years. To be filled as soon as possible. 
Applications are invited for these two 3-year 65% (doctoral) research positions in 
the Research Unit ''Questions at the Interfaces (QI)'' as part of Project P10. 
Project description: 
P10 ''Non-canonical questions in early and late bilingual language 
acquisition'' focuses on the interface between syntax, prosody, lexicon and 
context from the point of view of bilingual language acquisition. The aim of 
the project is to experimentally examine how sentence intonation, lexical 
elements (specifically discourse particles) and theory of mind develop in 
bilingual children with German as the majority and Italian as the heritage 
language and in Italian late L2 learners of German. Project tasks involve 
preparation, implementation and analysis of production, perception and 
comprehension experiments as well as the publication of results at 
international conferences and in relevant journals. The data collection will 
be carried out in Germany and Italy. 

A longer description of the project can be found at the project web-site:

https://typo.uni-konstanz.de/questionsInterfaces/index.php/p10-description/
Research Unit: 
The research unit runs until March 2022 and is dedicated to investigating 
question formation, with a particular emphasis on non-canonical questions. 
This Research Unit (RU) combines expertise from theoretical, computational and 
experimental linguistics and visual analytics to study how different 
components of grammar (morphology, syntax, phonology) interface to signal a 
particular meaning. See http://ling.uni-konstanz.de/pages/home/qi for more 
information of the RU. 
The Linguistics department at the University of Konstanz offers a lively and 
internationally well-connected research environment where students are 
immediately integrated in scholarly life and research. The research unit 
offers the opportunity to discuss their topics with fellow students who work 
on similar issues; we also have funding to attend international 
workshops/conferences. 
Requirements: 
Applicants should have a MA degree in linguistics with a focus on language 
acquisition, phonetics and/or syntax. We especially welcome experience with 
children, experimental linguistics, solid knowledge of statistics, acoustic 
analysis software (PRAAT), native-like or excellent proficiency in Italian, 
German or both.

PhD Studentships in the Faculty of Wellbeing, Education and Language Studies

Based in Milton Keynes, UK

The Faculty of Wellbeing, Education and Language Studies (WELS) is offering full-time funded PhD studentships for an October 2019 start.

The PhD programme is located in an environment that supports world-leading quality research. In the latest Research Excellence Framework (REF 2014) the UK government endorsed our research as overwhelmingly world-leading and internationally excellent, with significant and wide-reaching impact. Research takes place across the three Schools of WELS and the Institute of Educational Technology.

Research is conducted in the following areas which adopt innovative methodological approaches:

• Children, Young People & Families
• Educational Technology
• Health, Wellbeing and Social care
• Language and Literacies
• Transformative Education

What unites our research approach is a strong commitment to interdisciplinarity and a social justice ethos. Our research enables communities and individuals to thrive in an increasingly demanding and unequal world. We have the flexibility to support truly interdisciplinary and innovative research that makes a difference to people’s lives. We strongly encourage you to look at our research web pages http://wels.open.ac.uk/research andhttps://iet.open.ac.uk/research  to see that we provide the right combination of substantive expertise and methodological experience to support your doctoral research proposal.

Our large, international group of PhD students are an essential part of our research community. If you feel you have the drive and intellectual curiosity to pursue postgraduate research as part of that community and you have a great idea for a doctoral study, then we want to hear from you! We welcome proposals for interdisciplinary research within or across all of the areas outlined above.

Funding is available for UK, EU and international students.  Fully funded PhD studentships will include fees and maintenance for three years, depending on satisfactory progress. Anticipated stipend for 2019-20 is £14777.

Closing date: Monday 4^th March 2019. 

Interviews will commence late March – April 2019.

For detailed information and how to apply for the studentships go to www3.open.ac.uk/employment, or e-mail wels-student-enquiries@open.ac.uk

2 PhD positions opening in the School of Psychology at the University of Plymouth, UK. These positions are for 5 years: the student does her/his PhD part time and works the other half as a teaching and research associate in the School, providing support for students. 

https://www.jobs.ac.uk/job/BPS993/teaching-and-research-associates-tara-x2

Closing date is the 28th of February.

The possible PhD topics are advertised here:

On that page, I propose topics on accent perception or consonant bias in Arabic, but we can discuss any other idea. It is an internal competition in the School: whoever has the best candidate(s) for the jobs wins! 

In a few days, we will also advertise for 2 standard PhD positions (3 years), with the same idea of an internal competition for the best candidate(s).

If you are interested, contact me as soon as possible so that we can discuss your ideas/application.

Applicants have to be UK or EU to get their fees waived. Overseas students would have to provide the difference between EU/UK fees and international fees.
