Lancaster, Lancashire, United Kingdom Lancaster University Full time

Location: Bailrigg, Lancaster, UK

(Full time, indefinite with end date contract)

Interview date: Tuesday 24th September 2024

The Department of Psychology at Lancaster University is seeking to appoint a full time Senior Research Associate in Developmental Neuroscience, to work with Dr Hannah Stewart.

Children with mild to moderate hearing loss (MMHL) are behind their peers in educational attainment and in language development through to adulthood, and do not get as much benefit from auditory technology as adults. We are seeking to recruit a highly motivated individual to work with Dr Hannah Stewart on her UKRI Future Leaders Fellowship 'Impact of Children's Auditory Technology (iCAT)'. The overarching aim of iCAT is to provide the evidence base needed to deliver child-appropriate auditory technologies for primary school aged children with MMHL.

You will lead a longitudinal project assessing the short and long-term developmental impact of children's auditory technology on their cognition, hearing and listening skills. A range of techniques will be used in this project including EEG and cognitive psychology. This project is a clinical trial with NHS, industry and educator project partners.

You will join Dr Stewart's PELiCAN Lab – a multidisciplinary team who are committed to open science practices. The project will take place at the Department of Psychology, Lancaster University within its bespoke child-centred research facility that includes audiological, neuroimaging and naturalistic research labs. You will join a vibrant community of researchers in the fields of Developmental Psychology and Neuroscience, where there is a very active auditory group, including six permanent academic staff, postdoctoral researchers, and PhD students. Funding is available for conference attendance and suitable training opportunities to support your career development. Further information about the Department is available at:

Other benefits of the role include:

  • Generous holiday leave - 25 days (pro-rata) annual leave plus University closure days and bank holidays.
  • Access to employee pension scheme, and annual flexible benefits scheme.
  • We are committed to promoting Equality, Diversity and Inclusion across the Faculty, and supporting family-friendly and flexible working policies on an individual basis. The Department holds an Athena Swan Silver Award, which recognises and celebrates good employment practice undertaken to address gender equality in Higher Education and research.
