The School
Psychology is an ambitious and growing academic unit within the School of Education, Language and Psychology.

Our research infrastructure includes dedicated Psychology labs and technical support, specialised EEG, VR and eye-tracking labs, and video-observation equipment and rooms.
We have grown in staff and student numbers at all levels of study in recent years. Our excellent teaching and inclusive ethos provide an exceptional student experience, demonstrated by consistently strong performance in the National Student Survey. We offer a suite of BPS-accredited Psychology undergraduate degrees, a portfolio of taught Master’s programmes, and an accredited professional Doctorate in Counselling Psychology.
We are seeking an enthusiastic Lecturer or Senior Lecturer in Psychology to contribute to our inclusive academic community, and further strengthen our research and teaching. The successful candidate will demonstrate a growing research profile allied to our existing research strengths, as demonstrated by published outputs. The role will involve teaching across the undergraduate and postgraduate curricula and in a variety of settings, including small-group workshops/seminars and large-group lectures; research supervision; assessment and feedback; and the provision of pastoral and academic support to students.
