Women’s health is an exciting emerging area of health and applied psychology focused on health conditions that affect women disproportionately or differently. The post holder will deliver high-quality research and research-led teaching at both undergraduate and postgraduate level and support our expanding research interests in women’s health, and other areas aligned with Health and Applied Psychology.  

The successful candidate will join the School of Psychology and the Women’s Health Research Wales centre. As such, the post is open to candidates with strong motivation to enhance impactful research, innovation, co-production and teaching in women’s health, health and clinical psychology. The role will include research, teaching, research supervision from undergraduate to doctorate level, placement supervision, and supporting collaboration within the School and pan-Wales via the Centre. The role will also include individual research interests in priority thematic areas of the Women’s Health Research Centre Wales, including rare and stigmatised health conditions, underserved communities of women, early onset and life-long conditions, and health(y) transitions across the lifespan.
