University of Edinburgh Phd Studentship 2008
PHD STUDENTSHIP IN COMPUTATIONAL MODELS OF VISUAL PROCESSING
School of Informatics
University of Edinburgh
The Institute of Communicating and Collaborative Systems (ICCS) within
the School of Informatics and the Human Communication Research Centre
(HCRC) invites applications for a three-year PhD studentship funded by
the European Research Council, starting September 1, 2008.
The successful applicant will work on a project that investigates the
synchronous processing of linguistic and visual information. The
project studies key features of synchronous processing by tracking
participants’ eye movements when they view a naturalistic scene and
listen to a speech stimulus at the same time. The experimental results
will feed into a series of computational models that predict the
eye-movement patterns that humans exhibit when they view a scene and
listen to speech at the same time. These models will incrementally
construct aligned linguistic and visual representations, and will be
evaluated against eye-tracking data.
The PhD student will be part of a team of experts in linguistic and
visual processing, including both experimentalists and computational
modelers. The student will contribute to the modeling component of the
project, and should have previous experience in image processing,
computer vision, or computational models of perception and attention.
Applicants should have a good honors degree or equivalent in cognitive
science, artificial intelligence, computer science, or a related
discipline. Good programming skills, preferably in Matlab, Java, C, or
C++, are required. Familiarity with probabilistic modeling and machine
learning is essential.
The studentship will provide maintenance only funding at an enhanced
research council rate. Both UK/EU and overseas candidates are
encouraged to apply.
For further information please contact Dr. Frank Keller
(keller@inf.ed.ac.uk). Application forms and details on how to apply
are available from:
http://www.inf.ed.ac.uk
More information about the project can be found at:

On your application, please indicate “Studentship: Synchronous
Processing”.
Application deadline: March 31, 2008.
Applications received after the deadline may be considered, but this
cannot be guaranteed.
