Job: LECTURESHIP IN SPEECH AND HEARING SCIENCES 
UNIVERSITY COLLEGE LONDON
Department of Phonetics and Linguistics 

Applications are invited for a permanent lectureship in the Department
of Phonetics & Linguistics, which has an international reputation for
its research, and ratings of '5' in the last two RAEs. UCL as a whole
provides an outstanding research environment, and we enjoy close links
with other UCL departments and specialist hospitals.

The successful candidate will contribute to teaching at both
undergraduate and graduate levels on the acoustics of speech
production, hearing, and speech perception (with most students
training to be Speech and Language Therapists). Teaching experience is
essential and an interest in the development of computer-based
teaching materials would be an advantage. Other duties include
playing an important role in the reorganisation of one of our
undergraduate degree programmes.

The successful candidate will also be expected to carry out high
quality research in an appropriate scientific area, such as speech
production, speech perception, auditory processing or laboratory
phonology. Evidence of substantial research achievement, in the form
of published papers and/or research grants obtained, is a
prerequisite.

Starting date is negotiable, within the next academic year. The salary
will be on the Lecturer A/B salary scale (LSterling16,655 - 29,048 per

 POSTDOCTORAL TRAINEESHIP AT JOHNS HOPKINS: fMRI STUDIES OF LANGUAGE 

The Department of Cognitive Science at Johns Hopkins University will
be offering a Postdoctoral Traineeship in the area of fMRI studies of
language processing, learning and relearning (subsequent to
neurological injury). The ideal trainee will have previous experience
in conducting either (a) experimental language research or (b) fMRI
studies of non-language areas -- and will possess strong motivation
for training in the other area. Applicants must be able to work
independently, demonstrating high levels of initiative. The
Traineeship is part of the department's NSF-supported Integrated
Graduate Education and Research Training (IGERT) Program in the
Cognitive Science of Language; the Postdoctoral Trainee will be
involved in various aspects of this Program, including the training of
graduate students. We provide access to a research-dedicated fMRI
facility providing extensive technical support (the Kirby Center) as
well as a multi-disciplinary, interactive training environment that
includes the Cognitive Science Department and other related
departments such as Psychology, Mind/Brain Institute and Neurology.
The traineeship will begin on Sept. 1. Applicants must be citizens or
permanent residents of the US. The deadline for applications is June
30, 1999, but applications will be accepted after that time until the
position is filled. Please send CV, statement of interest, and three
