Groningen, Nederland Rijksuniversiteit Groningen Voltijd

Melodies of the North will result in a detailed digital archive of spoken Frisian, encapsulating the rich diversity of dialects found across the region. The project seeks not only to preserve these linguistic variations via a digital archive, but also to analyze their unique phonetic features. This multidimensional approach aims to enhance our understanding of Frisian's linguistic landscape, contribute to its preservation, and foster educational and research opportunities. Beyond its research objectives, Melodies of the North emphasizes community engagement, promoting a culture of linguistic stewardship, and empowering Frisian-speaking communities to actively participate in the preservation and revitalization of their language.

Your research tasks may include
- Design and conduct field research for spoken Frisian data collection.
- Collect, digitally enrich and analyze data according to the project objectives.
- Present results at national and international conferences.
- Publish results in international peer-reviewed journals.
- Participate in the collective scientific activities of the Speech Tech Lab.
- Limited teaching and student supervision tasks, e.g in the MSc programme “Voice Technology”.
