Dear Developmental colleagues<br>
<br>
Following an expansion of the psychology department at the University<br>
of Sheffield, we are looking to recruit a L/SL in Developmental<br>
Psychology (see ad below). We are particularly interested in<br>
attracting a colleague who can integrate with our Cognitive<br>
Development group, (see<br>
<a href="http://www.shef.ac.uk/psychology/research/groups/developmental" target="_blank">http://www.shef.ac.uk/psychology/research/groups/developmental</a>). Our<br>
core research on cognition and development draws on expertise in<br>
attention, learning, response selection, memory, language, executive<br>
functioning, and social functioning. These areas are studied in<br>
typically developing children as well as in atypical contexts<br>
(including Williams syndrome, Autism, Prematurity, and Dyslexia). We<br>
conduct experimental studies using a variety of well-established<br>
methods and cutting-edge technological advancements (EEG, infant<br>
eye-tracking, voice recording and automatic analysis systems), so that<br>
we can develop models of the most complex system – the developing<br>
human.<br>
<br>
Within the psychology dept we have 4 dedicated testing rooms,<br>
including an soundproof room, a large open plan office for<br>
postgraduate students and general meetings, a reception area, and two<br>
dedicated parking spaces immediately outside for our participants.<br>
There is a large maternity hospital across the road where we can<br>
recruit participants, a children’s museum next door, and a large<br>
database of families who have agreed to participate in research, as<br>
well as numerous local nurseries and schools.<br>
<br>
If you are interested in applying, or know anyone who might be<br>
suitable, please follow the link below for further details. Informal<br>
enquiries can also be directed to Jane Herbert<br>
(<a href="mailto:j.s.herbert@sheffield.ac.uk">j.s.herbert@sheffield.ac.uk</a>), Danielle Matthews<br>
