Call for proposals for the organization of the
18th International Congress of Phonetic Sciences

A call for proposals for the organization of the 18th International Congress of Phonetic Sciences (18th ICPhS) is now open. The 18th ICPhS will take place in 2015, four years after the 17th ICPhS to be held in Hong Kong in August 2011. Bids for the 18th ICPhS organization need to be prepared before the 17th ICPhS Congress and defended at the 17th ICPhS venue before the Permanent Council of the International Congress of Phonetic Sciences.

Scholars interested in defending a proposal for the organization of the 18th International Congress of Phonetic Sciences are asked to contact the President of the Permanent Council of the ICPhS, Daniel Recasens, daniel.recasens <at> uab.es, for information about how to prepare the proposal.

The International Congress of Phonetic Sciences is officially sponsored by the International Phonetic Association and provides an interdisciplinary forum for the exchange of ideas and basic and applied research in the phonetic sciences. The main areas covered by the Congress are speech production, speech acoustics, speech perception, speech prosody, sound change, phonology, sociophonetics, language typology, first and second language acquisition, forensic phonetics, speaking styles, voice quality, clinical phonetics and speech technology. The last ICPhS Congresses have been held at San Francisco (14th, 1999), Barcelona (15th, 2003) and Saarbrücken (16th, 2007), and have gathered about 800 - 1000 participants.

Research Group Leader, Language and Speech Processing
Cluster of Excellence, Saarland University
Multimodal Computing and Interaction (MMCI)
http://www.mmci.uni-saarland.de/

Deadline: 31 January 2010

Saarland University is seeking to establish several Junior Research Groups (W1/W2) within the Cluster of Excellence 'Multimodal Computing and Interaction' which was established by the German Research Foundation DFG within the German Excellence Initiative.

The term 'multimodal' describes the different types of digital information, e.g. text, speech, images, video, graphics, and high-dimensional data, and the way it is perceived and communicated, particularly through vision, hearing, and human expression. The challenge is to organize, understand, and search this information in a robust, efficient and intelligent way, and to create dependable systems that allow natural and intuitive multimodal interaction. We are looking for highly motivated young researchers with a background in the research areas of the cluster, including algorithmic foundations, secure and autonomous networked systems, open science web, information processing in the life sciences, visual computing, large-scale virtual environments, synthetic virtual characters, text and speech processing and multimodal dialogue systems. Group leaders will receive junior faculty status at Saarland University, including the right to supervise Bachelor, Master and PhD students. Positions are limited to five years.

Applicants for W1 positions (phase I of the program) must have completed an outstanding PhD. Upon successful evaluation after two years, W1 group leaders are eligible for promotion to W2. Direct applicants for W2 positions (phase II of the program) must have completed a postdoc stay and demonstrated outstanding research potential and the ability to successfully lead their own research group. Junior research groups are equipped with a budget of 80k to 100k Euros per year to cover research personnel and other costs.

Saarland University has leading departments in computer science and computational linguistics, with more than 200 PhD students working on topics related to the cluster (see http://www.informatik-saarland.de for additional information). The German Excellence Initiative recently awarded multi-million grants to the Cluster of Excellence 'Multimodal Computing and Interaction' as well as to the 'Saarbrücken Graduate School of Computer Science'. An important factor to this success were the close ties to the Max Planck Institute for Informatics, the German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence (DFKI), and the Max Planck Institute for Software Systems which are co-located on the same campus.

Candidates should submit their application (curriculum vitae, photograph, list of publications, short research plan, copies of degree certificates, copies of the five most important publications, list of five references) to the coordinator of the cluster, Prof. Hans-Peter Seidel, at the address below. Please, also send your application as a single PDF file to applications <at> mmci.uni-saarland.de.

The review of applications will begin on January 15, 2010, and applicants are strongly encouraged to submit applications by that date; however, applications will continue to be accepted until January 31, 2010. Final decisions will be made following a candidate symposium that will be held during March 8-12, 2010.

Saarland University is an equal opportunity employer. In accordance with its policy of increasing the proportion of women in this type of employment, the University actively encourages applications from women. For candidates with equal qualification, preference will be given to people with physical disabilities.
