ESRC STUDENTSHIPS

ESRC studentships for MSc+PhD (1yr plus 3 yrs) /PhD (3 yrs) at University
College London,  ESRC Deafness, Cognition and Language research centre

DEADLINE FOR APPLICATIONS: Friday 4th March 2011

The UCL Deafness, Cognition and Language research centre (DCAL) is pleased
to announce that it has been awarded two ESRC studentships for the
academic year commencing September 2011.

ESRC studentships provide up to four years full funding for postgraduate
training. They cover tuition fees and include a maintenance grant.
Additional funds may also be available to enable a start date before
September 2011 in cases where BSL training or training on specific
research
techniques is needed. Successful candidates will be expected to learn BSL
to a Level 2 standard.  Training will be provided if necessary.

DCAL will consider applicants for a UCL MSc or MRes  (e.g., MSc in
Cognitive Neuroscience,  MSc in Research Methods, MRes in Speech, Language
and Cognition) followed by a 3 year PhD studentship. We will also consider
applicants who have completed relevant Masters-level training for a 3 year
PhD studentship.

DCAL is an ESRC funded research centre which brings together leading Deaf
and hearing researchers in the fields of sign linguistics, psychology, and
neuroscience (see  http://www.dcal.ucl.ac.uk ).

More details about the research projects offered can be found in the
attached document.
Informal enquiries should be made to Dr. MacSweeney
(m.macsweeney at ucl.ac.uk) for Studentship 1 and to Professor Vigliocco
(g.vigliocco at ucl.ac.uk) for Studentship 2.

The application process will be in two stages. In the first instance,
applicants should send a CV, cover letter and the names and email
addresses of two referees to Antonietta Esposito at a.esposito at ucl.ac.uk
by Friday 4th March 2011.


The cover letter should highlight the qualities that make you suitable for
the studentship and include a brief statement outlining which project you
are most interested in and why you wish to conduct research in this area.
Shortlisted candidates will be invited to an interview in mid-March and,
if successful, will then be required to submit a formal post-graduate
application to UCL.


All applications are subject to the ESRC nationality and residency
restrictions. Applicants are asked to indicate in their submission that
they meet these requirements. These requirements and other information are
available on the ESRC's website. Applicants are strongly advised to
consult this guide - ESRC Funding Guide <http://www.esrc.ac.uk/funding-and
guidance/guidance/postgraduates/PFG.aspx>- when completing their
application.
