These 5-year Fellowships are intended to support outstanding candidates at the start of their independent academic career. Three of these posts are available in the School of Philosophy, Psychology and Language Sciences. The successful candidate for the Language Sciences post will be expected to contribute to the development of cognitive science -- very broadly defined -- within Linguistics and English Language, and will help to develop and contribute teaching to the new MSc programme, Cognition in Science and Society. A Chancellor`s Fellow will already show the ability to conduct world-leading research and exhibit clear potential to become an international leader in their discipline. The Fellow will be able to concentrate on research in the first instance, acquiring the full duties of University Lecturer across the period of the Fellowship. Subject to satisfactory review at the end of 3 years, the Fellow will move to an open contract on the University academic staff. Appointment will normally be made on the Lecturer scale (£36,862 - £44,016), dependent on experience, and in exceptional circumstances a more senior appointment may be made. Some positions are available with immediate effect and it is expected that successful applicants will be in post from August 2012.
