Postdoc in computational modelling of multimodal communication in face-to-face dialogue at the University of Amsterdam

Are you interested in combining insights from cognitive science with computational linguistics? We are looking for a Postdoctoral researcher for the project/Understanding the Emergence and Maintenance of Cross-modal Convergence in Dialogue/. The project builds on a rich dataset of multimodal face-to-face dialogue that has already been collected, and seeks to combine natural language processing, body-motion analysis, and machine learning to identify and model, in a data-driven manner, processes of multimodal alignment in referential tasks. The project is part of the_Language in Interaction_ <https://www.languageininteraction.nl/>consortium, in particular_Big Question 3_ <https://www.languageininteraction.nl/research-organization/big-questions/big-question-3/>. The postdoc will be led and advised by researchers at the Institute for Logic, Language and Computation (ILLC), University of Amsterdam, and the Donders Institute for Brain, Cognition and Behavior, Radboud University. The postdoc will be based at the ILLC, joining the_Dialogue Modelling Group_ <https://dmg-illc.github.io/dmg/>led by Raquel Fernández, and will visit the Donders Institute regularly.

If you are excited about this kind of interdisciplinary research and have relevant expertise, do get in touch! Starting date as soon as possible.
