Postdoctoral Researcher

2 weeks ago


London, United Kingdom Birkbeck University of London Full time

**This is a fixed term, full time appointment until 28 February 2025.**

**We are recruiting a postdoctoral researcher to support work on an ESRC supported project entitled "Dimension-selective attention and second language acquisition."**

Learning a second language in adulthood can be a difficult process, and many second language learners end up struggling to comprehend speech and producing heavily accented speech.

One possible reason why learning a second language can be so difficult is that different acoustic dimensions play different roles in different languages.

**This project will use EEG and fMRI to investigate attention to auditory dimensions and its role in language learning.**

We are looking for a researcher to work under the supervision of Dr Adam Tierney, Prof Fred Dick, and other collaborators. You will have experience developing and implementing EEG and fMRI protocols for investigating attention to acoustic dimensions in verbal and non-verbal sound streams and perceptual strategies underpinning auditory categorization, as well as writing up research for publication.

You will provide supervision and/or training of students, interns and research assistants in the use of research methods, equipment, and project procedures and will need to be a good communicator

**Remuneration**:
Grade 7 of the College's London Pay Scale which is £41,348 rising to £47,118 per annum.

The salary quoted is on the College's London Pay Scale which includes a consolidated Weighting/Allowance which applies only to staff whose normal contractual place of work is in the London area.

**Enquiries**:

- Birkbeck offers a competitive salary and pension scheme, 31 days paid leave, flexible working arrangements and some of the most generous benefits in the HE sector, all while being located right in the heart of Central London._
- We welcome applicants from all sections of the community. The College is committed to improving the gender and cultural diversity of its workforce, holding an Athena SWAN award and operating Disability Confident & Mindful Employer schemes._
