UNIVERSITY OF NEWCASTLE UPON TYNE

CHAIR OF SPEECH AND LANGUAGE PATHOLOGY


Applications are invited for the Chair of Speech and Language Pathology
which will become vacant following the retirement of Professor Ruth Lesser,
the current postholder, in September 1995. Funding has been provided to
enable an appointment to be made earlier than September 1995, subject to
the availability of the appointee.

The University is strongly committed to the further development of this
important area of its activity. The successful applicant will be expected
to provide academic leadership in teaching and research, to maintain and
enhance the Department's already high reputation in speech and language
pathology and to provide professional leadership relevant to the training
for speech and language therapists. Applications will be welcome from
suitably qualified candidates with a strong programme of current research
and an established research reputation.

Salary will be at an appropriate point in the professorial salary range.

Further particulars may be obtained from the Registrar, University of
Newcastle, 6 Kensington Terrace, Newcastle upon Tyne NE1 7RU, with whom
applications, giving the names and addresses of three referees, should be
lodged not later than 18 November 1994.

The Department of Speech was the first to be created at a British
university for research and degree level education in speech therapy. In
the 35 years since then it has also pioneered a number of educational
developments in speech and language pathology, including a Joint Honours
programme in Speech and Psychology and a range of Master's programmes for
speech and language therapists, teachers and clinical psychologists.

In the last national Research Assessment Exercise, the Department had the
highest grading of any department in its field - 4A. It has Level A
recognitiion for ESRC research studentships, both full-time and part-time.
The Department's main research areas are acquired and developmental speech
and language disorders, sociolinguistics (including bilingualism) and
experimental phonetics. Current projects comprise ESRC funded research in
sociolinguistics and variously funded research projects in assessment of
aphasia, therapy for phonologically disordered children, teaching in speech
and language therapy, dementia and Parkinson's Disease; the latter two
grants being jointly held with the Department of Psychiatry. This funding
is currently supporting three full-time research associates and five
part-time research associates. In addition, the Department currently has
thirteen research postgraduates at PhD and MPhil level working in
aphasiology, developmental speech and language disorders, psycholinguistic
and socio-linguistic aspects of bilingualism, clinical phonetics and
sociolinguistics.

The Department of Speech has strong international links. Three of its
academic staff are members of Committees of the International Association
of Logopedics and Phoniatrics. Within Europe it has teaching or research
links in particular with Belgium, Germany and Italy. A major facet of its
research work has been bilingualism in Cantonese-English and
Panjabi-English.

The Department offers programmes at several levels. With an annual intake
of 20-22, the four year undergraduate programme leads to a BSc(Hons) in
Speech accredited by the College of Speech and Language Therapists (CSLT).
 At the end of its second year about one third of the undergraduates
transfer to a Joint Honours option in Speech and Psychology, taught jointly
with the Department of Psychology: this programme is accredited by the
CSLT as well as being recognised by the British Psycho-logical Society.
Opportunities for further collaboration with the Department of Psychology
are being pursued.

A third professionally accredited degree is the two year MSc in Language
Pathology, currently with an annual intake of six students for whom
bursaries are provided by the Northern Regional Health Authority. The
Department also offers three other Master's programmes, leading
respectively to an MEd in Child Language and Language Disability (full-time
or part-time), an MSc in Neuropsycholinguistics and an MA in
Sociolinguistics and Bilingualism. The ERASMUS funded degree of MSc in
Neuropsycholinguistics is open to speech and language therapists and
clinical psychologists; it is taught in conjunction with the Vrije
Universiteit Brussels and the Newcastle Clinical Psychology Service.
