    RESEARCH FELLOW IN SPEECH SYNTHESIS

    The Centre for Speech Technology Research at the University of Edinburgh
    is seeking a research fellow to work on the leading text-to-speech
    research toolkit, Festival (www.cstr.ed.ac.uk/projects/festival) through
    the ongoing project "Expressive Prosody for Unit-selection Speech
    Synthesis". The project's aims are to add explicit control of prosody to
    unit-selection speech synthesis, generate prosody appropriate for
    communicating specific meanings and information structures and to
    realise this prosody with sequences of appropriately-sized pitch
    accents, arranged into valid intonation tunes. This project is jointly
    lead by Simon King, Mark Steedman and Rob Clark (Edinburgh) and Dan
    Jurafsky (Stanford, USA).
