One Fellow will be based with Dr. Gordon Brown in the Cognitive Neurocomputation Unit at Bangor and will be responsible for implementing the model. The other Fellow, based at York with Dr. Charles Hulme, will be responsible for undertaking psychological experiments with children and adults to evaluate the model. Starting salary for both posts on research 1A grade up to # 13,495. One two-year Fellowship is available to work on an MRC-funded project to develop a sequential connectionist model of the development of spelling and phonemic awareness in children. This post is based in Bangor with Dr. Gordon Brown. Starting salary on research 1A grade up to # 14,744. Applicants should have postgraduate research experience or interest in cognitive psychology/cognitive science or connectionist/ neural network modelling and computer science.
