Applicants should hold a PhD or have equivalent expertise in Linguistics or Psychology or related fields, and  specialise in psycholinguistics and/or semantic theory at its interfaces with syntax and pragmatics, combined with a track record of robust experimental work.

They will also be expected to contribute to the management of a newly furbished Psycholinguistics Lab, and to undertake some additional first or second marking and/or contribute to the teaching for other course units in Psycholinguistics and Semantics as arranged with the Head of Department.
