<p class="MsoNormal">The International Institute for Sign Languages and Deaf Studies (iSLanDS) is located within the School of Language, Literature and International Studies. The Institute is known for its groundbreaking large-scale projects with the European

within the strategic research priorities of the Institute and its international partnership network. We welcome applicants with a sound initial basis of sign language skills to build on as well as those with higher levels of fluency in any sign language(s).<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>

student supervision, contribute to cross-Institute working groups, and undertake a limited amount of teaching if appropriate.<o:p></o:p></p>
