About the Role

We are seeking to appoint an ambitious, research-driven scientist at Lecturer level with strong publication records, as well as significant potential for funding. We are particularly interested in individuals whose research aligns with one or more of the research themes in the Centre for Brain and Behaviour and who would make use of the department’s EEG / human cognition / sleep / eye tracking / exercise or development labs.

About You

The successful candidate should have a PhD in Psychology and/or relevant professional qualification and/or equivalent professional experience. You will be involved in teaching on our undergraduate or post graduate programmes (teaching loads are as would be expected in a research-led institution and reduced in the first two years following appointment). You must have substantial experience in teaching in large or small group settings with the demonstrable ability to deliver teaching at both levels.
