The Institute for Language, Cognition and Computation (ILCC) at the
University of Edinburgh invites applications for three-year PhD
studentships starting in September 2021. ILCC is dedicated to the
pursuit of basic and applied research on computational approaches to
language, communication and cognition.
Primary research areas include:
* Natural language processing and computational linguistics
* Machine Translation
* Speech technology
* Dialogue, multimodal interaction, language and vision
* Computational Cognitive Science , including language and speech,
decision-making, learning and generalization
* Social Media and Computational Social Science
* Human-Computer interaction, design informatics, assistive and
educational technology
* Information retrieval and visualization
Approximately 10 studentships from a variety of sources are available,
covering both maintenance at the research council rate of GBP 15,285
per year and tuition fees. Studentships are available for UK, EU, and
non-EU nationals.
Applicants should have a strong undergradudate degree or equivalent in
computer science, cognitive science, AI, or a related discipline.
