The Department of Clinical Language Sciences has a wide range of research interests within the field of speech and language development and disorders across the lifespan. Recent research has focused on characterising development and disorders in adults and children, developing assessments and designing clinical interventions. According to the Research Assessment Exercise (RAE) published in December 2008, the quality of 85% of our research activity was considered to be internationally recognised with 10% of this being assessed as 'world-leading'. 

Our Department is housed in a purpose-designed building with excellent research facilities. These include laboratories, a purpose built high quality speech booth and a brand new suite of clinical rooms with excellent observation facilities and audio-visual recording equipment. We are 

affiliated with the Centre for Integrative Neuroscience & Neurodynamics (CINN), which undertakes interdisciplinary research into the psychological and physiological mechanisms underpinning complex cognitive behaviours, targeting typical and atypical development and decline. 

This post is in addition to the one advertised in March 2010.
