COFUND INSPIRE 2016 at the USPC: 30 doctoral fellowships in all disciplines for excellent international candidates

The University Sorbonne Paris Cité (USPC) will offer 30 highly competitive doctoral contracts to international candidates from all over the world in 2016 via the INSPIRE programme, co-financed by the European Union through the Horizon 2020 (H2020) Marie Skłodowska-Curie Action, COFUND. USPC offers a research-intensive university environment, comprising over 12000 professors and researchers from its eight universities and five research organisations. Each year, approximately 1100, out of more than 6000, doctoral candidates defend their PhD theses, corresponding to about 10% of the annual doctoral cohort in France. The USPC thus aims to recruit international candidates of the highest calibre to join its research groups to enhance the standing and visibility of its’ Graduate Schools, and of the University, at an international level. The well-remunerated three-year fellowships will be awarded through a strictly merit-based selection process. A more detailed description about the COFUND fellowship, including information about the remuneration and specific benefits (e.g., access to career development courses, housing at subsidized rates, etc.) will soon be made available at the USPC COFUND INSPIRE website.

Attention will be paid to equal opportunity issues concerning all aspects of INSPIRE.

Research Fields

All. (There are 32 doctoral schools affiliated with USPC covering all fields.)

Eligibility Criteria

Early Stage Researchers (ESRs) need to have completed a Master's degree or an equivalent diploma before 30 September 2016.

ESRs will need to comply with the conditions of the EU-mobility rule (incoming mobility): applicants must not have had their main residence, or carried out their main activity (work, studies, etc.), in France for more than 12 months during the three years immediately prior to the deadline for the call (15 January 2016); compulsory national service and/or short stays such as holidays are not taken into account.

Application submission via the web-based application portal of all required data and documents in English or French, by 15 January 2016. Applications will not be considered after that date.

The proposed research project is supported by the concerned research group at USPC and is not excluded from EU funding due to ethical issues.

Selection Process

Applications have to be submitted online by 17H CET on 15 January 2016. Candidates will be selected according to a clearly defined process involving three stages: by the research group (as early as possible) by the doctoral school (1 February 2016), and the final stage organised at the University level (14 March 2016 – 16 March 2016) will be carried out by an independent jury comprised of national and international members. The list of selected candidates will be published on 17 March 2016. All fellows will be provided with a three-year work contract for full-time research positions with additional funding for mobility and extra research expenses.

International candidates who would require a visa to be present for the final selection stage in Paris, in March, are strongly encouraged to submit their applications as early as possible.

We have room in our doctoral program at the University of Delaware for some excellent students – especially students who would like their research to make a difference in children’s lives and promote school success. Please think of recommending our PhD program in Learning Sciences, which draws on courses all over the university to equip our graduates to understand the challenges of engendering deep learning. Graduates of the learning sciences are seriously in demand given the educational challenges in today’s society. Our program is for students who wish to specialize in areas such as STEM learning, language development, or the use of technology in classrooms. With only 20% of children’s time spent in school, we are also interested in studying how learning takes place in other learning venues such as homes, museums, and after school programs.

Our focus is interdisciplinary, bridging education with work in cognitive science, psychology, and human development. Students learn to communicate their research findings with both professional and lay audiences. They develop a rich methodological toolkit for designing and assessing outcomes of investigations relating to learning and instruction and interventions of all types. In fact, our students are so well trained methodologically that some take jobs in that area. Graduates of our program obtain positions at colleges and universities as well research, development, and policy agencies.

Our strong faculty hold grants from NIH, NSF, and the Institute of Education Sciences (IES) and are eager to mentor students who want to do research in the field. We generally support our students in good standing for 4-5 years of study and equip them to become leaders in their fields. Our track record for placing our graduates is excellent.

Please urge your students to consider the University of Delaware, School of Education at www.education.udel.edu/doctoral/phd/ls/. We would be happy to speak with them!

The Erasmus Mundus Program

"International Doctorate for Experimental Approaches to Language And Brain" (IDEALAB)

offers 3-year PhD positions in the area of psycho-/neurolinguistics from September
2016.
The PhD program has been established as an outstanding 3-year doctoral training to its candidates to study structure, processing and foundations of human language integrating interdisciplinary approaches.

For this purpose, four European universities (Potsdam (GER),Groningen (NL), Newcastle- upon-Tyne (GB), Trento/Rovereto (IT)) and one non-European university (Macquarie University Sydney (AU)) provide an intellectual environment for original and independent research on experimental and clinical aspects of language and the brain. Associated members from Research & Development industries contribute in various ways to the program and stimulate an innovative environment. They are potential co-supervisors and are involved in training.
Finally, there are seven clinics associated to the consortium, amongst others the non- European rehabilitation center in Moscow which is the world’s largest centre for language disorders in the world. The associated clinics provide internships to study unimpaired as well as impaired language of children and adults.

The program is jointly offered by a transnational consortium with an integrated study program along with required mobility between the participating institutions. The mobility plan of each individual young researcher is tailored according to the particular specialities required by the thesis topic.

The application period starts 15th of September and ends on

November 15, 2015.

Two PhD Research Fellowships within the Research Group in Clinical Linguistics and Language Acquisition are available at the Department of Linguistics and Scandinavian Studies, University of Oslo. The Research Group in Clinical Linguistics and Language Acquisition conducts research on typical and atypical speech and language acquisition in children and adults, and speech and language as a result of brain damage in adults (for example aphasia and Alzheimer’s disease), compared to neurologically healthy adults. Several of the members of the research group are also associated with the Center for Multilingualism in Society across the Lifespan (MultiLing).
We seek to recruit two PhD candidates with excellent research qualifications within the areas covered by the research group, more specifically:
One PhD fellowship within child language acquisition with or without a clinical perspective, and
One PhD fellowship within clinical linguistics with a focus on adults (e.g. aphasia, dementia, and/or healthy aging)
The appointments are available for three years starting from January 1st, 2016. The deadline for application is August 15th, 2015.

PhD positions: Child Language Acquisition

Several PhD Fellowships are available on the perception, production and processing of language in Bilingual and Hearing Impaired children. All are part of a newly funded ARC grant to Katherine Demuth, Department of Linguistics at Macquarie University, Sydney, Australia.

Those with developmental interests in the following areas are encouraged to apply:
• Speech planning, production, prosody
• The acquisition of grammatical morphology (perception and/or production)
• The development of language processing abilities (eye-tracking, EEG/MEG)

All applicants should have excellent linguistics background as well as strong phonetics, experimental and statistics skills, as well as research interest/experience with young children. Experience with R, Matlab, Praat and some programming skills will be a plus.

Deadline: September 31, 2015 (or until filled)

For the 4-year combined Year 2 MRES/PhD positions solid previous coursework in linguistics and phonetics is required.
For the 3-year PhD positions an MA thesis, relevant course work and publications are essential. All positions are open until filled.
The Child Language Lab is located in the Australian Hearing Hub with state-of the art EEG, MEG, infant speech perception, eye-tracking and language production research facilities. The group has extensive collaborative links with Audiology, Speech Pathology, the CCD, and the National Acoustic Laboratories (NAL), providing a dynamic, collaborative research environment.

This project is supported by an Australian Research Council grant ‘Neural and behavioral evidence for children's learning of grammatical morphology’ (FL130100014). The goal is to better understand the nature of children’s phonological and morphological representations, and how these develop between the ages of 1-7. The project brings together researchers from a wide range of disciplines (EEG/MEG, eye-tracking, ultrasound, etc.) with the common purpose of addressing issues related to speech perception and production in typically developing monolingual and bilingual children, as well as children with hearing loss and specific language impairment.

Those interested should send CV and statement of research interest to Katherine Demuth at Katherine.Demuth@mq.edu.au

TiCC combines two strong research programs: Creative Computing (CC), including research in Artificial Intelligence, Computational Linguistics, and Intelligent Systems, and Language, Communication and Cognition (LCC), including research in Cognitive Science, Communication and Discourse Studies. The unique combination of these two research programs enables TiCC to work on research projects in which computer-based techniques of modelling and processing (big) data are combined with experimentally elicited human data.

TiCC offers a home to more than 80 researchers, including 30 PhD students. We are seeking to extend our research team with three new and enthusiastic PhD colleagues. PhD positions are specifically sought on TiCC’s research themes, which include, but are not limited to:

– Language acquisition, learning,
– Social media, interpersonal communication,
– Spoken language, non-verbal behaviour, emotion,
– Medical communication, eHealth, empathy,
– Social aspects of interaction (e.g., exclusion, reconciliation, intergroup relations).

For a full list of TiCC research themes, see here: https://www.tilburguniversity.edu/research/institutes-and-research-groups/ticc/

Prospective candidates are expected to write and possibly defend an original 2-page research proposal, related to one of the research themes of TiCC. In addition, names of a potential daily supervisor and promotor should be included. We explicitly expect assistant and associate professors within TiCC to play a central role in the selection and supervision of these 3 PhD candidates. Research proposals that combine the two research programs are especially encouraged.

Requirements

For the positions we seek candidates with a background in a relevant discipline, including (in alphabetical order) Artificial Intelligence, Cognitive Science, Communication & Information Sciences, Computer Science, Linguistics, Psycholinguistics, Psychology, or any related area.

The PhD candidates will have a (Research) Master’s degree in one of the aforementioned areas, a strong interest in conducting research, excellent writing skills and a good command of English.

Information

For more information on the positions, please contact prof.dr. Emiel Krahmer, scientific director of TiCC (E.J.Krahmer@uvt.nl, +311346630700).
