Funding is available for up to two years, depending upon the start date. The ESR will also have the opportunity to enroll as a PhD student. Funding for this after the initial period of funding is not guaranteed but may be possible, albeit with a reduced stipend (at typical UK rates). The post-holder will complete a project under the supervision of Prof. Stuart Rosen, Dr. Lorna Halliday and Prof. Björn Lyxell (Linköping Universitet, Sweden), which will examine auditory processing in two groups of children: those referred for assessment of auditory processing disorder, and those with mild to moderate hearing impairment. The post-holder will have some scope to adapt the project based on their interests, which could involve EEG as well as the measurement of behaviour. The post-holder will be a member of the FP7 Marie Curie Initial Training Network improving Children’s Auditory REhabilitation (iCARE) which comprises 10 European research institutes and 7 associated partners. https://icareitn.eu/ Applicants must be eligible to work in the UK but should not have resided or performed their main research activity in the UK for more than 12 months within the 3 years immediately preceding the start date. Applicants must be within four years (full-time equivalent) of the end of the degree which would formally entitle them to embark on a doctoral degree either in their home country or in the UK. Applicants, by the start of the post, must hold an undergraduate or masters degree in a relevant discipline (e.g., Psychology, Speech and Hearing Science, Linguistics, Audiology, Neuroscience or Electrical Engineering) that is equivalent to a 1st class or 2:1 standard in the UK system.
