Lecturer in Psychology (2 Posts)

The Department of Psychology at Liverpool Hope University seeks to appoint a Lecturer in Psychology who can contribute to its BPS accredited programmes. The successful candidate will contribute through new and innovative research lines that complement the existing research in one of the three research groups. In the Developmental Research Group, existing research strengths include the acquisition of literacy and numeracy, and the development of emotional wellbeing and regulation. In the Social and Applied Research Group, we have expertise in conflict and political violence, occupational health psychology, and the exploration of social identity. In the Vision and Cognition Research Group, research strengths are recognised in spatial navigation, visual search, aesthetics and social cognition.

Consistent with the Department of Psychology’s ambitions for excellence in teaching and in research, the successful candidate will support the teaching at undergraduate and postgraduate levels and contribute to its growing reputation for excellence in research. We are particularly interested in candidates who have a specialism in clinical, counselling or biological psychology but all high-quality candidates will be considered. The successful candidate will benefit from bespoke psychology laboratories that house up-to-date facilities for research and teaching.

We recruit staff nationally and internationally as we seek out the best people to help build Hope for the future. We are committed to supporting and promoting equality and diversity to create an inclusive working environment that recognises and respects difference. If you join us, you will be doing so at an exciting and challenging time as we work to build a Liberal Arts inspired university of distinction in the UK.
