***************************************************************
Research Position in Speech Recognition

at the ESAT/PSI SPEECH GROUP
Katholieke Universiteit Leuven
****************************************************************

A 2 yr. research position is available on a project studying
the variability of dialectic speech and its impact on speech recognition
performance.
This research is supported by a grant of the Fund for Scientific Research in
Flanders (FWO) and is a joint project between the University of Gent and
the University of
Leuven.
More information about the project (in Dutch) can be found in following
website:

http://www.esat.kuleuven.ac.be/~spch/cgi-bin/projects.cgi?FWOx

Candidates should have a degree in engineering or statistics or have similar
qualifications through work experience.
They should preferably have programming experience in C or another
high-level language.
Also a working knowledge of the Dutch language is a desirable asset - though
not strictly required - as most of the experimental work needs to be
performed on Flemish/Dutch speech data.

The ESAT speech group is active in speech recognition and speech modification
and has currently about 15 acitve researchers.
The group has its own state-of-the-art recognizer that serves as vehicle for
most of the research.
An overview of current research projects can be found at

http://www.esat.kuleuven.ac.be/~spch/cgi-bin/projects.cgi.

The term of the position is in principle from 01 JAN 2003 till 31 DEC 2004.

Interested applicants should send their CV to:
