Developmental L/SL position at Sheffield

[Danielle Matthews]

Dear Developmental colleagues

Following an expansion of the psychology department at the University
of Sheffield, we are looking to recruit a L/SL in Developmental
Psychology (see ad below). We are particularly interested in
attracting a colleague who can integrate with our Cognitive
Development group, (see
http://www.shef.ac.uk/psychology/research/groups/developmental). Our
core research on cognition and development draws on expertise in
attention, learning, response selection, memory, language, executive
functioning, and social functioning. These areas are studied in
typically developing children as well as in atypical contexts
(including Williams syndrome, Autism, Prematurity, and Dyslexia). We
conduct experimental studies using a variety of well-established
methods and cutting-edge technological advancements (EEG, infant
eye-tracking, voice recording and automatic analysis systems), so that
we can develop models of the most complex system –  the developing
human.

Within the psychology dept we have 4 dedicated testing rooms,
including an soundproof room, a large open plan office for
postgraduate students and general meetings, a reception area, and two
dedicated parking spaces immediately outside for our participants.
There is a large maternity hospital across the road where we can
recruit participants, a children’s museum next door, and a large
database of families who have agreed to participate in research, as
well as numerous local nurseries and schools.

If you are interested in applying, or know anyone who might be
suitable, please follow the link below for further details.  Informal
enquiries can also be directed to Jane Herbert
(j.s.herbert at sheffield.ac.uk), Danielle Matthews
(danielle.matthews at sheffield.ac.uk) or Dan Carroll
(d.carroll at sheffield.ac.uk).
