The UCL Cognitive, Perceptual and Brain Sciences (CPB) Research 
Department, within the Division of Psychology and Language Sciences, is 
planning the future appointment of at least two and likely more academic 
posts (at Lecturer, Senior Lecturer, Reader or Professor level) to 
complement existing strengths. For one post the emphasis is on 
multimodal communication, with ideal candidates having research 
interests that include sign language/deafness research. For a second 
post, the emphasis is on Decision and Cognitive Sciences. However, we 
would also encourage other candidates with an excellent record of 
internationally renowned research in other areas represented within the 
department (including computational and animal neuroscience) to express 
their interest in the posts.

UCL CPB offers a top research and teaching environment with research 
covering behavioural neuroscience, perceptual and cognitive sciences and 
cognitive neuroscience. Members of the department are directly involved 
in the activities of a number of research centres, including the 
Deafness, Cognition and Language (DCAL) centre, the Institute of 
Behavioural Neuroscience (IBN), the Birkbeck/UCL Centre for Neuroimaging
(BUCNI) and the Centre for Mathematics and Physics in the Life Sciences 
and Experimental Biology (CoMPLEX). They further contribute to the 
Institute of Cognitive Neuroscience (ICN) and the Wellcome Department of 
Imaging Neuroscience.  Research facilities available to members of staff 
comprise state-of-the-art equipment for most types of behavioural 
research including a multimodal communication laboratory, animal housing 
facility, MRI scanner and TMS facilities. At this stage, we invite 
informal expression of interest (including a CV and statement of 
research interests) which should be directed to Kate Jeffery by email at 
k.jeffery@xxxxxxxxx before October 20 2010.
