Professor Woll is the Centre Director (Professor Gabriella Vigliocco  
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 Research Department, that offers a top  
research and teaching environment (receiving a 5* at the latest  
nationwide Research Assessment Exercise). In the Department, research  
focuses on behaviour and its neural underpinnings and covers  
behavioural neuroscience, perceptual and cognitive sciences and  
cognitive neuroscience. In addition to DCAL, members of the research  
department are directly involved in several other research centres and  
institutes including the ESRC Centre for Economic Learning and Social  
Evolution (ELSE), the Institute of Behavioural Neuroscience (IBN), the

Neuroscience (ICN) and the Wellcome Department of Imaging  
Neuroscience. Research facilities available to members of staff  
comprise state-of-the-art equipment for most types of behavioural  
research (including a multimodal communication laboratory), scanning  
facilities (MRI) and TMS facilities.

Members of the Cognitive, Perceptual and Brain Sciences Research  
Department contribute to teaching in the undergraduate programme in  
Psychology and Linguistics and to several postgraduate courses in  
psychology and language sciences.

The salary will be on salary grade 7 point 33 (£30,912) to grade 9
