Background
This is a new role which has arisen through the award of an AHRC grant to Prof Alice Deignan (Lead Investigator) Prof. Jeannette Littlemore and Prof. Elena Semino (co-investigators), to fund a project entitled 'Young people, figurative language and criticality'. The project aims to describe the figurative language used with and by young people in the framing of ideology and new concepts, and to estimate their levels of awareness of this framing.

The project partners are the Universities of Birmingham and Lancaster, Oxford University Press, and schools in Birmingham and Yorkshire.
The successful candidate will be based at the University of Birmingham, working on campus. They will work full-time on the project, leading some aspects of its activity, as appropriate and agreed with the rest of the project team. It will involve some travel, both national and international.

Your main duties will include: visiting project partner schools to record language used in classroom settings and helping to analyse this language for figurative content; conducting studies in project partner schools to investigate whether and how children are able to unpack, critique and contest arguments framed through figurative language; helping to analyse the data produced in these studies; communicating or presenting the project results through conference presentations and/or other recognised forms of output; preparing papers for publication in leading international journals, jointly or solely, and independently writing reports; helping to organise and conduct events for non-academic stakeholders; maintaining your own continuing professional development and acting as a mentor to less experienced colleagues as appropriate; contributing to the research culture of the department.
Person Specification
