The Role

This is an exciting opportunity for an enthusiastic and highly motivated Research Assistant/Associate to join a CLEFT Bridging the Gap funded study to investigate the feasibility of measuring sleep and speech and language development in young children with cleft lip & palate: the SleepyHeads feasibility study.

This study is led by Dr Stephanie van Eeden and Dr Vic Knowland. For more information about the team and the School of Education, Communication and Language Sciences, including our Speech and Language Sciences subject area, see here.

The postholder should have a PhD in a relevant discipline e.g. Speech and Language Sciences, Education, Psychology, Linguistics (Research Associate), although we will consider candidates who are close to submission of their PhD, (initially employed at Research Assistant level).

However, please note that responsibilities of this role, linked to delivering the SleepyHeads feasibility study within the community, will necessitate regular in-person sessions across the North East and Cumbria. The post holder will be required to be a car driver and hold/undergo an enhanced DBS check.

Informal enquiries are welcome. Please contact Dr Stephanie van Eeden ([email protected]) to discuss the role. To apply, please upload an up-to-date CV and letter of application of 1-2 pages outlining specific examples around how you meet the requirements set out in ‘The Person’ section below.
