UMR 8554 - EHESS - ENS - CNRS

29 rue d’Ulm, 75005 Paris

We are looking for a highly motivated postdoctoral fellow with a strong  
background in speech technology. The two-years post-doctoral fellowship  
will take place at the Laboratoire de Sciences Cognitives et  
Psycholinguistique, part of the Département d'Études Cognitives (DEC) of  
the Ecole Normale Supérieure in Paris, under the joint supervision of  
Emmanuel Dupoux and Alex Cristia.  Female candidates are encouraged to  
apply.


The postdoctoral fellow would ideally become involved in one or more of  
several ongoing projects, including:


The organization of challenges and workshops like the Zero Resource Speech  
Challenge


The development of speech technology/machine learning algorithms inspired  
by how infants learn language, i.e, with little or no supervision


The development of speech technology solutions applicable to naturalistic,  
large-scale recordings, in order to derive measures of language production  
and conversational dynamic


Requirements:


The candidate should have a PhD in speech technology and related fields.


Experience managing large datasets is required along with strong  
programming (experience with python and open source projects is a plus).


Strong English language and writing skills are required (note: speaking  
French is not required).


Experience with linguistics and child language is appreciated but not  
required.


Salary:

The salary will be adjusted to the candidate’s post-doctoral experience  
(start salary for a 1st year post doc: 33,000 euros/year net; 5 years of  
experience: 38,000)



Start date:

The position should ideally start before March 2019 but there is some  
flexibility if this is not possible.


Applications and requests for information:

Please send by December 7, 2019  to syntheticlearner at gmail.com :


a complete CV,


a 2-page cover letter explaining how you fit the requirements,


a sample of own writing (e.g., a publication where you wrote the bulk of  
the text for),


(a link to) a sample of computer code you produced, and


contact information of two references



Feel free to contact us for more information!
