from the Economic and Social Research Council, is a unique interdisciplinary
research centre devoted to the study of deafness and sign language. Professor
Bencie Woll is the Centre Director (Professor <st1:PersonName w:st="on">Gabriella
Vigliocco</st1:PersonName> and Dr Gary Morgan are co-directors). Within the
newly established division of Psychology and Language Sciences, DCAL is part of
the Cognitive, Perceptual and Brain Sciences Research Department, that offers a
top research and teaching environment (receiving a 5* in the last nationwide
Research Assessment Exercise). DCAL has nearly 40 research staff, students and
associates, about 1/3 of whom are Deaf.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

leading to research in fields such as sign linguistics, psycholinguistics,
sociolinguistics, and the development of language and communication, where the
experience of deaf people is critical to the development of scientific theories
and their effective application. The intern will work with researchers on a
number of different DCAL projects, and following completion of the internship,
will be expected to take up post-graduate research leading to a Master’s
and PhD. Candidates should have a good honours degree in one of DCAL’s
subject areas (e.g. linguistics, psychology, Deaf studies) or in one with
applications to DCAL’s areas of research (e.g. computational
engineering), be fluent in British Sign Language (BSL), and be a member of the
Deaf community. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
