SCIENCES, UNIVERSITY COLLEGE CORK, IRELAND 
Applications are invited for a PhD studentship to work on a project
investigating a neurobiological model of language processing. The project
will involve electrophysiological and clinical testing of auditory word
processing in normal individuals and individuals with aphasia. The
underlying research investigates how this model of spoken-word processing
can explain differentially disordered language function in individuals with
aphasia, thus significantly influencing theories of aphasia therapy and
evidence-based practice. In collaboration with Dr Catharine Pettigrew, Dr
Geraldine Boylan, Dr Kingshuk Roy Choudhury and Dr Liam Marnane, the project
will further develop electrophysiological recording techniques, signal
processing, and statistical analysis techniques for investigating automatic
auditory event-related potential responses to speech stimuli, in normal and
pathological populations.
The successful applicant will have - or expect to be awarded shortly - a
good undergraduate degree (or Masters) in Speech and Language Therapy,
Clinical Neuroscience, Psychology, or Linguistics. S/he will have a strong
interest in language disorders, electrophysiology and clinical
neurophysiology. Clinical experience and/or experience in
electrophysiological testing are desirable.  
The project is funded by the Research Frontiers Programme of Science
Foundation Ireland. The studentship includes an annual salary of EUR24,003
(based on IRCSET recommended figures), including stipend and fees. There is
also additional support for conferences and travel.  

The studentship will commence on September 1st, 2007 and is tenable
initially for 18 months, with an additional 18 months dependent upon a
successful progress review.   
Applications by email to Dr Catharine Pettigrew (c.pettigrew at ucc.ie
<mailto:c.pettigrew at ucc.ie> ), who can also be contacted via email or phone
(+353-21-4901540) for informal enquiries and further information.
Applications must include:
*	CV, including clear statements regarding the quality of your
examination grades and your competence in spoken and written English (if you
are not a native speaker); 
*	Covering letter describing your interest in this position; 
*	Names of 3 academic referees, together with the positions they hold
and their email and postal addresses. 
Closing date:  Friday 29th June, 2007
