Context And Mission

The Speech Team at the newly established AI Institute hosted at BSC brings together extensive expertise in several areas, including automatic speech recognition, speech synthesis, and speech LLMs, with a particular emphasis on low-resource languages and settings. In addition, the AI Institute has been entrusted by both the Spanish and Catalan governments with the mission of developing foundational open-source resources and technologies for Spanish and Catalan.
The Speech Team contributes to two flagship national initiatives: the AINA project, funded by the Catalan Ministry of Digital Policy and aimed at advancing AI resources for Catalan, and the ALIA project, funded by the Spanish Secretariat of Digitalisation and Artificial Intelligence and aimed at AI resources for the co-oficial languages in Spain. The team also participates in a range of EU- and other nationally funded research projects.
The team is seeking a Machine Learning Engineer with experience in speech technologies, particularly in deep learning and model development for speech synthesis.



The successful candidate will join the Speech Team, work within a highly advanced HPC environment, gain access to state-of-the-art systems and computational infrastructure, and collaborate with experts across multiple disciplines at both local and international levels.
