As part of a £6M transformation of the Centre for Forensic Linguistics at
Aston University, into a Research Institute we are recruiting researchers in
linguistics with an interest in applying their language analysis skills across
a breadth of forensic texts and contexts. 

We are looking to appoint linguistic researchers with or without forensic
linguistic experience but with excellent language analysis skills, who can
make a significant contribution to projects on written legal texts.

In addition to working on Institute projects researchers will be given 0.4 FTE
to develop and deliver their own research project within the first two years
of the post.  Appointment will be in part on the basis of your project
proposal and we are particularly interested in receiving proposals examining
legal drafting and plain language issues and the interpretation of legal texts
using linguistic methods.  

All posts require a doctorate in a relevant discipline.

Please contact Professor Tim Grant at the contact information below with any
queries about the roles.
