Marie = Curie Experienced Research Fellowships are aimed at the most talented = newly-qualified postdoctoral researchers, who have the potential to = become leaders in their fields. This competitively salaried fellowship = offers an outstanding young scientist the opportunity to kick-start his = or her independent research career in speech technology, speech science = or laboratory phonetics. This fellowship is part of the INSPIRE Network = (http://www.inspire-itn.eu) and the project that the Fellow will lead = involves developing a framework for evaluating models of speech = intelligibility. The work is planned to lead to the initiation of a new = international speech intelligibility modelling competition and workshop = series. The Fellow will also be expected to contribute his or her = expertise to the exploration of novel speech intelligibility models that = are being developed by the network. There are excellent opportunities = for collaborative working and joint publication with other members of = the network, and generous funding for travel to visit partner sites, and = to attend conferences and workshops. You should have a PhD (or be near completion) in computer science, = engineering, linguistics, mathematics, or a related discipline (or have = equivalent experience). You should have strong programming skills and = experience with statistical speech processing and computational models = of hearing, as well as an appropriate level of ability and experience in = machine learning. The fellowship is fixed term for 12 month (to start as = soon as possible). The Speech and Hearing group at Sheffield is a = successful and well-funded group, and so there are excellent prospects = for further employment after the completion of the fellowship The Marie Curie programme places no restrictions on nationality: = applicants can be of any nationality and currently resident in any = country worldwide, provided they meet the eligibility requirements set = out in the full job description. *Salary*: Depending on experience and in accordance with the Marie Curie = stipulations, the salary for this post will be =A344,844 per annum or = =A369,597 Informal enquiries about this position should be made to Dr Jon Barker = (j.barker@xxxxxxxx).
