With the completion of DCAL's 10 year core research funding from the ESRC and the planned retirement of the current director, DCAL invites applications for a new Director to ensure its continuing success. The appointment will be made at reader/professorial level depending on experience and qualifications.

An appreciation of the diversity within the deaf population and a demonstrated interest in engaging with the wider community and policy makers is also important. The successful applicant will be expected to contribute to research-led teaching via the development of specialised content for postgraduate and doctoral level professional degrees, and to perform the normal administrative duties expected of a member of academic staff.
