| PhD ESRC DTP Collaborative Studentship: The Use of Touch in Dementia Care: An Empirical Investigation + | PhD ESRC DTP Collaborative Studentship: The Use of Touch in Dementia Care: An Empirical Investigation Midlands Graduate School Doctoral Training Partnership - University of Nottingham and Nottinghamshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust Qualification Type: PhD Location: Nottingham Funding for: UK Students, International Students Funding amount: Refer to the advert text Hours: Full Time, Part Time Placed On: 26th January 2023 Closes: 22nd February 2023 The Midlands Graduate School is an accredited Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) Doctoral Training Partnership (DTP). One of 14 such partnerships in the UK, the Midlands Graduate School is a collaboration between the University of Warwick, Aston University, University of Birmingham, University of Leicester, Loughborough University and the University of Nottingham. The University of Nottingham, as part of Midlands Graduate School is now inviting applications for an ESRC Doctoral Studentship in association with our collaborative partner Nottinghamshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust to commence in October 2023. Healthcare practitioners (doctors, nurses, therapists, their assistants and students) regularly touch patients with dementia when delivering healthcare. A distinction has been made between ‘necessary’ touch, for example dressing a wound or examining a patient, and ‘non-necessary’ touch for example holding a patient’s hand, putting a hand on their shoulder, or hugging them. ‘Non-necessary’ touch is regularly used by healthcare practitioners caring for patients with dementia but is rarely seen in other healthcare settings. However, the distinction between ‘necessary’ and ‘unnecessary’ touch may be an oversimplification as we do not understand what interactional purpose touch serves in this context. This project will use the sociological method of ethnomethodologically informed conversation analysis to examine the use of touch as it occurs between patients and staff on hospital wards. Multimodal analysis will begin with an existing corpus of video recorded data from the acute hospital context, but the successful candidate will also collect and analyse new data to supplement this. The project aims to provide a more detailed contribution to the empirical basis for delivering dementia care; and to develop a training resource for staff grounded in this empirical research. The student will be based in the School of Sociology and Social Policy, and the supervisory team are Prof Alison Pilnick (Sociology), Prof Sarah Goldberg (Health Sciences), and Dr Rebecca O’Brien (Nottinghamshire Healthcare Trust). Application Process To be considered for this PhD, please complete the Collaborative Studentship application form available online here. Please upload an anonymised CV and cover letter as part of the online application process. Shortlisted applicants will also be required to provide academic transcripts and two references. Applicants should have a minimum of a 2(i) undergraduate degree or Merit at Masters level, and be able to demonstrate an interest or relevant experience in the topic or method of the project. Please note that a 3 year PhD award can only be made to candidates who have already fulfilled ESRC Core Training requirements. 1+3 and 3.5 year awards are available if training elements still need to be completed. Application deadline: 12 noon February 22nd 2023 Shortlisted applicants will be contacted on Feb 28th and interviews will be held on Tuesday March 7th. Midlands Graduate School ESRC DTP Our ESRC studentships cover fees at the home rate, a maintenance stipend, and extensive support for research training, as well as research activity support grants. Support is available to both home and international applicants. For further details, visit: www.mgsdtp.ac.uk/studentships/eligibility/.

| PhD Position Multimodal and Pragmatic Alignment in Dialogue + | “Multimodal and Pragmatic Alignment in Dialogue” Content Description We are looking for a PhD candidate to study the multimodal and pragmatic aspects of interactive alignment and mutual understanding in dialogue. In dialogue, mutual understanding is achieved interactively and incrementally by means of sequences of communicative turns. While turns have long been treated as speech-only constructs, in their most common realisation (face-to-face social interaction) they are multimodal, combining both visuospatial and verbal resources. Studying the multimodal and sequential aspects of interactive alignment provides new ways to characterise and quantify how communicative choices are shaped and constrained by the differential affordances of visuospatial and verbal representational formats, and what this implies for their contributions towards shared representations. The position is embedded in the larger project “Creating a shared cognitive space: the use of language in interaction”. The basic data, collected in coordination with closely related subprojects, will form a multimodal corpus of dyadic interactions in coordination tasks. A key goal of the larger project is to integrate distinct levels of analysis. We are therefore looking for candidates with a high affinity for interdisciplinary work. Requirements You should have a Research Master’s (or equivalent) in linguistics, cognitive psychology, artificial intelligence, or any other relevant field of study, and you should have native or near-native competence in spoken Dutch (as the primary data will be in Dutch). You should have strong skills in statistics, data science and computational modelling (e.g. Bayesian modelling). You should have experience with multimodal and/or corpus analysis of linguistic data, and familiarity with psycholinguistic work on alignment and gesture. Experience with EEG and fMRI imaging methods is desirable, but not mandatory. Applications from excellent candidates with a less than ideal profile will be equally considered. Embedding and Terms of employment You will be based at the Centre for Language Studies, Faculty of Arts, Radboud University, Nijmegen, Netherlands. Employment: 1.0 FTE; in addition to the salary: an 8% holiday allowance and an 8.3% end-of-year bonus; the starting salary is €2,191 per month and will increase to €2,801 per month in the fourth year; you will be appointed for an initial period of 18 months, after which your performance will be evaluated. If the evaluation is positive, the contract will be extended by 2.5 years; the Collective Labour Agreement (CAO) of Dutch Universities is applicable to this position; you will be classified as PhD Candidate (promovendus) in the Dutch university job-ranking system (UFO); the institutes involved have regulations in place that enable their staff to create a good work-life balance.

| PhD Studentship - The Future of Work in the Age of Autonomous Systems 2022 + | King’s Business School have a three year, funded PhD studentship (home fees and stipend) available to support research concerned with the future of work and autonomous systems. Applicants should be social scientists with experience of using qualitative research methods, and an interest in interdisciplinary research. The successful candidate will be expected to undertake studies of the current use or the future consequences of autonomous systems on the nature of work. This could be an in-depth study of an organisation that is using or seeking to use autonomous systems (e.g., systems using artificial intelligence, decision-making algorithms, machine learning, automated interactions or robotics). Examples could be: • examining the deployment and use of decision-support or decision-making systems in financial organisations and how they interface with markets; • understanding the ways in which artificial intelligence systems can support healthcare professionals, to support diagnosis and treatment; • exploring the consequences of using automated pattern or image recognition systems to identify objects and incidents in critical domains; • analysing the automation of service encounters, whether this is chatbots for handling customer queries, encounters with robot guides in museums or service robots in care homes; • studying the use of AI assistants to support management tasks, including identifying critical issues to address, filtering information or supporting meetings; • investigating the consequences of novel robots to support manufacturing or warehouse work or of automated vehicles to support distribution tasks. The studentship is part of a large collaborative project funded by the UKRI and involves partners from the Department of Informatics, the Dickson Poon School of Law and the Policy Institute at King’s College London and the Universities of Southampton and Nottingham (UKRI’s Trustworthy Autonomous System Hub). This means that students can have access to a wide range of systems and technologies, will be able to collaborate with researchers developing innovations in autonomous systems, and will be offered the possibility of exploring prototype technologies as part of their research. The candidate will be part of the Work, Interaction and Technology (WIT) group at King’s College and of the FinWorkFutures Research Centre in King’s Business School. The WIT Group is concerned with social interaction in organisational settings, examining the ways in which tools, technologies and artefacts feature in communication and collaboration. WIT would be particularly interested in candidates who will undertake naturalistic studies of work and interaction that draw on ethnographic and video-based methods. The activities of FinWorkFutures centre around the future of work in various financial spheres, e.g., cryptocurrency, audit, financial analysis, fund management.

| PhD on Comparative Conversation Analysis in Australian Aboriginal Languages 2019 + | Seeking a PhD student to work on Comparative Conversation Analysis in Australian Aboriginal Languages Project: Conversational Interaction in Aboriginal and Remote Australia (CIARA) The research project ‘Conversational Interaction in Aboriginal and Remote Australia’ (CIARA) is funded by the Australian Research Council and will run for four years from 2018-2022. The research team consists of Chief Investigators Dr Joe Blythe (Macquarie University; project leader), Professor Lesley Stirling (University of Melbourne), Associate Professor Ilana Mushin (University of Queensland) and Associate Professor Rod Gardner (University of Queensland), as well as Research Assistant Dr Francesco Possemato and Macquarie PhD student Josua Dahmen. The project’s methodology is Comparative Conversation Analysis, sometimes called Pragmatic Typology, and the overall aim of the project is to investigate possible variation within the interactional domain by comparing informal conversations conducted in four Australian Aboriginal languages (Jaru, Gija, Murrinhpatha and Garrwa) with conversations conducted in poorly documented varieties of non-Aboriginal English in rural and remote outback regions of Australia. The project is supported by a reference group of Aboriginal researchers. We are seeking a student to undertake a PhD to be associated with but not funded by the project, to be based at the University of Queensland under the primary supervision of Associate Professor Ilana Mushin. We would expect the student to apply for a standard PhD scholarship and be accepted by the University through its standard application processes, where preference is given to students working within ARC-funded projects, and their applications can be considered outside of the usual deadlines for scholarship applications. The student would work on a comparison of an aspect of conversation across at least two of the Aboriginal languages under study in this project using a Conversation Analysis/Interactional Linguistics approach. The student would work with the existing corpus being developed for this project and not be expect to undertake additional fieldwork to collect data. It is expected that the student would however be able to transcribe and annotate existing recordings as part of the PhD study. The specific topic of the PhD would be open for discussion but would probably align with one of the themes of the broader project: turn-taking and action sequences; conversational narrative; and knowledge representation. We would welcome students who would like to focus on practices of language mixing or shifts between languages in these multilingual communities, as well as students who would like to focus on the comparative use of grammar in conversation. The student would be part of the project team and have the opportunity to receive mentoring and intellectual support from project members and to contribute to the larger project through taking part in workshops and publications. The student would also benefit from being part of the large and vibrant postgraduate student cohort within the Linguistics program in the School of Languages & Cultures at the University of Queensland. Prospective students should be eligible to apply for a PhD in Linguistics at the University of Queensland, either as a domestic or an international applicant (for more information see https://languages-cultures.uq.edu.au/study/linguistics and https://graduate-school.uq.edu.au/node/69/2#2 ). Students with a background in Australian Aboriginal Languages, conversation analysis/interactional linguistics, discourse analysis or pragmatics, could be particularly suited to this PhD topic area, but anyone with an interest in this PhD is welcome to contact us for more information. The deadline for expressions of interest is 12th December 2018. Contact: Associate Professor Ilana Mushin, i.mushin@uq.edu.au, +61 7 3365 6810. + |
| PhD on Informatics at Gothenburg University starts January 2026 + | Dear colleagues, I’m reaching out to share a fully funded PhD position in Informatics at the University of Gothenburg, embedded in the national WASP-HS research cluster AI, Power and Politics. The position focuses on trust and interactivity in AI-driven media formats and their role in public discourse. While formally situated within the broader themes of AI and society, I would especially welcome candidates grounded in ethnomethodology and conversation analysis. The successful applicant will join a research environment that takes seriously Garfinkel’s question of how social order is locally and interactionally produced—and what it means when machines begin to speak within that infrastructure. Within our group, we are currently pursuing a set of inquiries into how generative AI systems reshape the fundamental conditions of social interaction. This includes questions of relationality, factuality, and the shifting intelligibility of technologically mediated action. These issues invite detailed ethnomethodological and conversation analytic engagement with topics such as: * How are social relationships produced with artificial companions? * How is knowledge negotiated in interaction with ‘competent’ machines? * And how do societies respond to these shifting conditions of intelligibility? There is ample room for the PhD project to align with, extend, or reframe these themes—empirically, conceptually, or methodologically—based on the interests and background of the candidate. The position is fully funded for four years and begins in January 2026. * Full position details and application: https://web103.reachmee.com/ext/I005/1035/job?site=7&lang=UK&validator=9b89bead79bb7258ad55c8d75228e5b7&job_id=p37886 * Application deadline: 15 September 2025 * Contact: jonas.ivarsson@gu.se for informal questions. Feel free to share widely, especially with advanced students and colleagues working in EM/CA and adjacent traditions. Warm regards, Jonas + |

| PhD studentship "Identity work in palliative care" (Loughborough University) + | Identity work in palliative care: A Conversation Analytic study of interactions with newly diagnosed patients ESRC DTP Collaborative Studentship Loughborough University and Treetops Hospice The Midlands Graduate School is an accredited Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) Doctoral Training Partnership (DTP). One of 15 such partnerships in the UK, the Midlands Graduate School, is a collaboration between the Universities of Warwick, Birmingham, Nottingham, Aston Leicester, Loughborough, De Montfort and Nottingham Trent. Loughborough University as part of Midlands Graduate School is now inviting applications for an ESRC Doctoral Studentship in association with our collaborative partner Treetops Hospice to commence in October 2025. The candidate will be based in the Department of Communication and Media at Loughborough University (UK) and will be supervised by Dr Marco Pino and Prof Elizabeth Peel. The project involves conversation analytic research in collaboration with Treetops Hospice (Derby, UK) where the candidate will be supervised by Sharan Harris-Christensen, manager of the Treetops Hospice Education & Development Team. Treetops Hospice is an independent third-sector organisation delivering palliative care services to the local community. The candidate will work with Harris-Christensen and the staff of the Treetops Hospice Wellbeing Café. The candidate will video-record drop-in information sessions run by registered nurses, occupational therapists, support and information practitioners, and volunteers for newly diagnosed patients and their families. The aim will be to investigate, using conversation analysis methods, interactional practices that the staff use to help patients maintain a positive identity as competent and autonomous individuals after a diagnosis of life-limiting illness. The significance of the project is readily available when considering how a diagnosis of incurable progressive illness, alongside a reduction in functional capacities for daily living, can negatively affect a patient’s identity. We are interested in the ways interactions with healthcare practitioners can support patients in retaining a positive identity, dignity, and “normality in an otherwise changed reality” (Bye, 1998, p. 12). The project will leverage the distinctive approach of conversation analysis by investigating identity as a practical achievement of participants’ actions in interaction. With support from the supervisory team, the candidate will use conversation analysis methods to examine interactions video-recorded at the Wellbeing Café to identify challenges that patients face in maintaining a positive identity in interaction; identify interactional practices that the staff use to support patients in negotiating a positive identity; and draw implications for social scientific understandings of identity construction after a diagnosis of incurable illness. The project will include qualitative interviews with patients and staff. The supervisory team have extensive experience of using conversation analysis in video-based studies of interactions in healthcare and social-care settings, including palliative and end-of-life care (please refer to our staff pages for our publications: Pino and Peel). The project will give the candidate solid grounding in social interaction research. They will participate in a thriving research community within the Discourse & Rhetoric Group (DARG), a world-leading research group in language and social interaction. At Treetops Hospice, the candidate will develop transferable skills relevant to the translation of research findings into training and policy recommendations for the healthcare sector. Harris-Christensen is an experienced communication trainer with nursing background, who will co-supervise the candidate and expose them to Treetops Hospice’s extensive work in the design and delivery of communication skills training for practitioners. We especially welcome applications from candidates with familiarity and experience with using conversation analysis, although this is not necessary to apply for the studentship. Please send informal enquiries to Marco Pino: m.pino@lboro.ac.uk Application Process Full details here: https://warwick.ac.uk/fac/cross_fac/mgsdtp/collaborativeandjoint/pino_loughborough_-_collab_advert_2025.pdf Application deadline: 28th February Note: shortlisted applicants will be interviewed on the 10th of March. The interview will be online on Microsoft Teams. It will be scheduled between 9.00 and 16.00 (GMT).

| PhD2020-Nottingham-Elderspeak + | ESRC DTP Collaborative Studentship: Is 'elderspeak' always inappropriate? An empirical investigation of the use of elderspeak in dementia care The Midlands Graduate School is an accredited Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) Doctoral Training Partnership (DTP). The University of Nottingham, as part of Midlands Graduate School is now inviting applications for an ESRC Doctoral Studentship in association with our collaborative partner Nottingham University Hospitals Trust to commence in October 2020. ‘Elderspeak’ is defined as the use of systematic speech accommodations directed towards older adults. Features of elderspeak include speaking more slowly, and using shorter turn constructions, repetition, and terms of endearment such as ‘dear’ or ‘darling’. Some authors have objected to its use on moral grounds, on the basis that it is similar in tone and register to ‘infant speak’, and is therefore patronising and infantilising to older persons. However, empirical studies of elderspeak in a dementia-specific context present a mixed picture, with some studies suggesting it can improve communication and cooperation with care and others suggesting it may increase resistance to care. This mixed picture presents a dilemma for healthcare practice. This project will use the sociological method of conversation analysis to examine the use of elderspeak as it occurs between patients and staff on acute Healthcare of the Elderly hospital wards. Analysis will begin with an existing corpus of video recorded data, but the successful candidate will also collect and analyse new data to supplement this. The project aims to provide a more detailed contribution to the empirical basis for delivering dementia care; and to develop a training resource for staff grounded in this empirical research. The student will be based in the School of Sociology and Social Policy, and the supervisory team are Prof Alison Pilnick (Sociology), Dr Sarah Goldberg (Health Sciences), and Prof Rowan Harwood (NUH). More information about the project can be found here: https://warwick.ac.uk/fac/cross_fac/mgsdtp/collaborativeandjoint/pilnick_nottingham_-_collab_advert_2020.pdf Application Process Informal enquiries can be addressed to Alison.Pilnick@nottingham.ac.uk To be considered for this PhD, please complete the Collaborative Studentship application form available online here, and email it with cover letter and CV to esrc-dtc@nottingham.ac.uk. Shortlisted applicants will also be required to provide two references. Applicants should have a minimum of a 2(i) undergraduate degree or Merit at Masters level, and be able to demonstrate an interest or relevant experience in the topic or method of the project. Please note that a 3 year PhD award can only be made to candidates who have already fulfilled ESRC Core Training requirements. 1+3 and 3.5 year awards are available if training elements still need to be completed. Applicants must also meet ESRC eligibility criteria for funding. Application deadline: Monday 24th February 9am. Shortlisted applicants will be contacted on Tuesday 25th February and interviews will be held on Monday 2nd March. + |
| Post Doc position on Machine Learning for Human-Robot Interaction at University Claude Bernard-Lyon 2022 + | Opening of Post Doc position on Machine Learning for Human-Robot Interaction @LIRIS-CNRS UMR5205, University Claude Bernard-Lyon1 Duration : 15 months (potentially extensible to 18 months) - Expected starting date January 2023 Team : SyCoSMA at LIRIS-CNRS (UMR 5205), University Claude Bernard-Lyon 1 Project : PepperMint funded by ASLAN Labex Partners: LIRIS (SyCoSMA, SAARA Teams), ICAR (InSitu Team), University of Oulu-Finland (GenZ), Supervision: Pr. Salima Hassas , Dr. Mathieu Lefort Context PepperMint (Interacting with Pepper: mutual learning of turn-taking practices in HRI) is funded by the ASLAN Labex. It proposes an exploratory study of embodied turn-taking practices in task-related Human-Robot Interaction (HRI) to improve the social abilities of robots and make HRI more natural to humans. The project initiates a cooperation between researchers in AI (Artificial Intelligence) (LIRIS) and CA (Conversation Analysis) (ICAR and GenZ Oulu - Finland). It investigates if and how CA findings on natural occurring interaction can be used to develop innovative and effective AI models for HRI. The project is grounded in a detailed multimodal analysis of turn-taking in naturally occurring HRI, putting forward the emergence of turn allocation as complex sequential and multimodal practices. The project is built upon existing works on AI/ML (Machine Learning) algorithms of the state of the art to program an application for reception and orientation of people in a university library. Previously, we recorded human-robot interactions based on a first ad-hoc version of the robot with state of the art algorithms and ad-hoc turn-taking practices. These data are used in CA studies to identify successful interactions. The goal of this post doc is to use this annotated dataset for machine learning methods to propose a new AI model for HRI, coupling developmental learning and CA findings. The detailed missions of the Post Doc will be: – To review the state of the art algorithms for Turn-Taking. – To collaborate with another Post-Doc in the field of Conversation Analysis, to clean and prepare the annotated data that will be produced by the CA researchers, and create new algorithms for ML according to CA findings. – To develop a new version of the HRI application with new ML (oriented towards Developmental Learning) algorithms to improve turn-taking practices in HRI. – To contribute to the (scientific) communication activities of the PepperMint Project. Required Skills: We are looking for a Post Doc to join our project team composed of researchers, engineers and practitioners in the field of AI / Social Robotics and CA.
