Lecturer in Psychology, Department of Psychology
Job description
Department
The Department of Psychology is a large and vibrant department in the Faculty of Science and Health. We occupy purpose-built facilities including state-of-the-art EEG/ERP, eye-tracking, psycho-physiology and computerised testing labs. Adjacent to the building, academics also have access to the facilities housed in the Centre for Brain
Science (CBS), which additionally includes TMS, tDCS, virtual reality, pain and human sexuality testing facilities. We are an outward looking department, internationally known for its excellence in research in a range of areas, with clear links between our different research groups. We offer an excellent education to our students. All our undergraduate courses, and our MSc Psychology conversion course, are accredited by the British Psychological Society. The department is entering an exciting stage of continued planned growth and we are looking for several ambitious individuals who will work with colleagues within the department as well as with staff across the Faculty of Science and Health to help enhance our reputation further.
The Department offers a rich and diverse environment and traditionally engages with a range of research across the University: we have strong links with the Department of Computer Science and Electronic Engineering (CSEE) who are known for their expertise in brain-computer interface, human-robot interactions, and speech and natural language processing work, amongst other core areas. In addition, staff collaborate with experts from the world-renowned Institute for Social and Economic research (ISER) on outstanding social science research projects. Similarly, synergies between the Department and the Institute for Analytics and Data (IADS) exist with the aim to deliver interdisciplinary research with leading impact. Our links across the faculty have been strengthened through major investment in a new STEM building, which consolidates and integrates our teaching and research infrastructure and will facilitate collaborations across disciplines.
The department is looking to make six appointments at the Lecturer level. We welcome applicants from all fields of psychology in order to build on our existing research strengths.
Duties of the Role
You will contribute to excellence in education through designing and delivering effective teaching and learning support at undergraduate and postgraduate levels, and develop a research agenda which pursues individual and/or collaborative research objectives and proposals of high quality that will as a minimum meet the University's expectations for future Research Exercise Framework (REF) exercises. Additionally, you will generate research income and contribute to the administration and management of the School, and to the local, regional and international profile of the Department.
Appointment will be made as Lecturer.
Skills and qualifications required
You will have a relevant doctoral level research degree or equivalent professional experience or practice or be close to completion of PhD and Fellowship of the Higher Education Academy, or the ability to gain professional recognition at this or a higher level if appropriate.
You will have confirmed experience in teaching at undergraduate and/or postgraduate levels, and of designing and planning learning activities. You will be able to demonstrate evidence of a clear publication plan for submission to future Research Excellence Framework (REF) programmes, and evidence of a research agenda, engagement in high-quality research activity and a developing research profile.
The start date for each specific role will be discussed with candidates at interview.
At the University of Essex internationalism is central to who we are and what we do. We are committed to being a cosmopolitan, internationally-oriented university that is welcoming to staff and students from all countries and a university where you can find the world in one place.
Please see the further detail link below for a full job description and person specification which outlines the full duties, skills, qualifications and experience needed for this role plus more information relating to the post. We recommend you read this information carefully before making an application. Applications should be made on-line, but if you would like advice or help in making an application, or need information in a different format, please telephone the Resourcing Team (01206 876559).
