We are committed to working across our campuses to meet our linked education and research ambitions and to operate as one School on two sites.

Colleagues joining us will be expected to make a significant contribution to the advancement of teaching (policy, practice, standards) of Psychology, and to provide leadership in teaching and learning, and teaching innovation. Management and administration will involve coordinating and supporting activity on the Dubai campus with extensive collaboration and liaison back to our Edgbaston Campus and with colleagues in our School at both locations.

Across all of your activities we will expect exemplary academic citizenship, and a persistent emphasis on developing and maintaining generous, mutually respectful and supportive working relationships with all staff and students and ensuring the way you carry out your role impacts positively on how others can carry out theirs.

Role Summary

The key duties and responsibilities will include but not be limited to: giving lectures and seminars and supervising undergraduate / post-graduate students, course development and innovation, and taking an active part in examinations.

The successful applicant will have a PhD in a relevant specialist subject area, as well as postdoctoral experience.
