Fixed Term Teacher

Department

We are a large and vibrant Psychology Department guided by our University’s founding principles of breaking new ground, of challenging existing expectations, and of making a meaningful difference in the world. To achieve these goals, we organise our research and our teaching under the broader theme of ‘Understanding Our Place In The World’. We approach our work within this novel framework across three areas of concentration: Thinking about the world, Interacting with the world, and Experiencing the world. This allows our staff to pursue their intellectual ambitions and to achieve research excellence, all while fostering an interdisciplinary, collaborative approach that utilises multiple methodologies.

Our department has developed a research-led teaching model that embeds essential, work-relevant skills across all modules. We are internationally known for excellence in research, having been ranked in the top 20 in the UK for research power in the 2021 Research Excellence Framework. We offer an excellent BPS-accredited education to our students, with undergraduate and post-graduate courses guided by the Department’s overarching ethos. We were recently ranked 21^st in the UK for overall student satisfaction in Psychology. We are proud to hold an Athena SWAN Silver Award (2020) for our work on promoting gender equality.

We will appoint two Fixed Term Teachers to support our existing educational strengths. We are looking for ambitious, collaborative individuals who will enhance our international reputation and further our mission of ‘Understanding Our Place In The World’. We are looking for individuals who will support our students in building a toolkit for life that will make them strong candidates for a wide range of jobs both within and outside fields of psychology.
