About us:

This is an exciting and unusual joint post across both King’s College London and the South London and Maudsley NHS Trust (SLaM).

About the role:

This is an exciting opportunity for a clinical academic psychologist (Lecturer level) with strong research and clinical experience to join the Social, Genetic and Developmental Psychiatry (SGDP) Centre at the Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology & Neuroscience, King’s College London (IoPPN-KCL). This full-time position will be shared by IoPPN-KCL (0.6 FTE) and the South London & Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust (SLaM), Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (0.4 FTE). The position allows for considerable synergy between academic research, education, and clinical service delivery.

In this role, you will build a research programme in an area of child and adolescent mental health, developing studies and applying methodologies that complement the department’s vibrant interdisciplinary and collaborative research. You will attract external funding as principal investigator, as well as collaborating with other research groups.

You will actively contribute to education and training of the next generation of scientists by supporting the MSc in Developmental Psychology, and Psychopathology and other courses, leading the “Psychological Approaches to Treatment” module, developing new clinical placements and supervising student projects. 

The post is also a rare opportunity for a clinical academic psychologist to help shape the King's Maudsley Partnership (KMP) research strategy for the mental health of children and young people. The post holder will develop their own research interests and prioritise research in child Clinical Psychology by establishing collaborations with other researchers within IoPPN and KCL, and institutions external to KCL. The post is closely linked to the new Pears Maudsley Centre (PMC) for Children and Young People which plans to transform the mental health of children and young people. 

You will work clinically within a SLaM Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service, which will be negotiated to ensure it meets a service need and the clinical and research interests/expertise of the post-holder. The service will be in the field of child mental or neurodevelopmental disorders. A key aspect of the role will be to enhance links between the SGDP Centre and clinical colleagues in the new Pears Maudsley Centre (PMC) for Children and Young People, and the ability to represent the clinical and academic activities linked to the PMC is integral to the role.

This is a full-time post (35 hours per week), and you will be offered an indefinite contract.
