Lecturer in Psychology

About the role

The Department of Psychology has undergone a period of rapid expansion resulting in a vibrant research and learning culture. The department has three research themes covering Clinical, Counselling and Health Psychology, Forensic Investigation and Cyber Psychology, and Cognitive and Brain Sciences (with particular expertise in Reading, Face-Processing, Attention and Memory). Facilities supporting our research and teaching include eye-tracking (with mobile and static eye trackers), virtual reality, brain stimulation (tDCS, TMS), and electrophysiological recording (EEG). In addition, the Department enjoys strong research collaborations with local NHS Trusts.

You will be qualified to Doctoral level or be able to demonstrate the ability to create and disseminate knowledge at an equivalent level and the capability to convert this knowledge into a doctorate in a maximum of 3-5 years from date of appointment. You will be research active and committed to a culture of academic excellence and continuous improvement.
