research position

[Steve Davis]

Applications are invited for the post of Research Assistant in the 
Department of Psychology, UCL. The project has four years to run and is 
funded by the Wellcome Trust. The topic is improving diagnosis and 
treatment of stuttering. The purposes of the research are to establish what 
language problems are involved in the onset of stuttering and why some 
children recover. We are also investigating the relationship of language to 
fluent speech control according to the PI's theoretical model (click on 
publications at our website 
<http://www.speech.psychol.ucl.ac.uk/>http://www.speech.psychol.ucl.ac.uk/). 
The successful applicant will be required to run a variety of different 
experiments with children who stutter and fluent controls (e.g. priming, 
tests of motor performance etc). The applicant will also be required to 
transcribe and analyze samples of fluent and stuttered speech.
