RCUK Research Fellow (leading to lectureship)




This is a great opportunity for a researcher at the start of their career; five years of effectively independent research, followed by an indefinite lectureship (subject to normal probation criteria). We have good auditory facilities here; 3 new IAC double-walled booths, and two new EEG systems (IHS EP system, and EGI 128-channel system), and two hearing researchers on Faculty (myself and Martine Turgeon). Lancaster is a great place to live, surrounded by beautiful countryside (Yorkshire Dales, Lake District, Forest of Bowland), with easy access to Manchester. 

Cheers,

Chris
