Dear Auditory List
We are pleased to advertise a funded PhD studentship based at the Vision & Hearing Research Centre, Anglia Ruskin University (Cambridge Campus). Please forward to anyone who may be interested.
------------------
Improving academic and social success for children with dual sensory impairment (deafblindness)
This research will use a multidisciplinary and participatory research design - connecting academia, education providers, third sector organisations and sensory support teams – to co-produce interventions with students with dual sensory
impairment. The project will involve collection and analysis of data from schools and sites supported by Deafblind UK. The applicant will be working closely with a Liaison Officer at Deafblind UK with links to parents, students, teachers, local authorities
and education facilities.
The successful applicant will benefit from strong supervisory support and will be based at the School of Psychology and Sport Science. The supervisory team led by Dr Saima Rajasingam, supported by Dr Eldre Beukes and Professor Peter Allen
has expertise in both vision and hearing sciences.
A three-year studentship is offered, intended to start in September 2022, providing a tax-free stipend of £16,062 per annum plus tuition fees at the UK rate. Due to funding restrictions, this studentship is only available as a full-time
position and to UK candidates.
Interested applicants should direct initial queries about the project to Dr Saima Rajasingam via email:
saima.rajasingam@xxxxxxxxx. For enquiries regarding the process and eligibility please contact
