The post is in association with a Tutorial Fellowship at Christ Church.

The main duties of this post will be to conduct an independent research programme in social psychological science, and to contribute to teaching undergraduate and graduate courses in the department through lectures, practical classes, and supervision, and to college teaching and tutorials. We encourage applications from across the breadth of social psychology and that draw on a range of research methods.

You should have a doctorate in Psychology or a related science; an ability to contribute to teaching and training of undergraduate and graduate students; a strong and developing track record of research in social psychology and allied fields; and current research funding or an independent research track record likely to attract competitive research grant funding. You will also be expected to participate in the administration and governance of Christ Church and administration within the Department of Experimental Psychology.
