ABOUT US

The UCL Division of Psychology and Language Sciences is ranked second in the world for psychology (Shanghai Global Ranking of Academic Subjects 2022) and UCL is the top-ranked university in the UK for research power in Psychology, Psychiatry and Neuroscience according to the UK’s Research Excellence Framework 2021. Part of the Faculty of Brain Sciences, we lead the way in the fields of mind, behaviour and language. The Linguistics department has a track record of innovative and excellent research in formal theoretical linguistics and the cognitive science of language.

The Department of Linguistics seeks to train the next generation of linguists who are comfortable integrating computational approaches into their research; and to offer our undergraduate students development in skills that are applicable in the information/data industries. Thus the expectations for the role will include carrying out computational research that makes substantive contact with language theory or research on cognitive science of language; advising masters and doctoral students; and contributing to the departmental teaching in natural language processing, computational linguistics, and linguistics, more generally. The appointment will be made within grade 8 (Lecturer) or grade 9 (Associate Professor). Grade 8 currently begins at an annual salary of £52,487 including London allowance; grade 9 currently begins at an annual salary of £66,711 including London allowance.
