Lecturer / Senior Lecturer in Psychology

Application closing date: 28/11/2022

Salary: £38,592 - £63,673 per annum

Job category/type: Academic

The School of Psychology at Queen’s University Belfast is growing and wishes to make two new appointments. Appointments will be either at Lecturer or Senior Lecturer level; applications are welcome for either of these levels, with appointment grade determined by career stage. Candidates must have research interests that complement and enhance the School’s existing research activities (www.qub.ac.uk/schools/psy/Research/OurResearchThemes/).

We welcome applications from exceptional candidates who have the skills and enthusiasm for contributing to at least one of the following strategic priorities of the School:

1. To enhance the quality of our research and education by ensuring it is contextually informed and culturally inclusive. Thus, we particularly welcome applications from researchers who adopt a cross-cultural approach or who study minoritized, underrepresented, or hard-to-reach populations.
2. To build on the School’s existing research on behaviour change, decision-making, and intervention by supporting research that can make a positive contribution to achieving the UN Sustainable Development Goals, such as those relating to Good Health and Wellbeing, Quality of Education, Reduced Inequalities, Peace and Justice, or Climate Action.
3. In recognition of the growing importance of advanced data analytic skills within the discipline, to build on the School’s existing expertise in quantitative data analytics, we welcome applications from candidates who have strengths in this area.

The successful candidate must have, and your application should clearly demonstrate you have:

• A degree (UG or MSc) in psychology or very closely related subject.
• A PhD in psychology in a relevant area.
• Recognised excellence in subject specialism commensurate with career stage.
• Publication record commensurate with career stage, including papers that are REF returnable at international level (to a panel that includes psychology).
• Research expertise that will enable the candidate to contribute to one or more of the School’s strategic priorities.
• University-level teaching experience in UG and/or PG programmes for psychology students in the last four years. Please provide full details of teaching experience in the application.

Applicants should specify if they are applying for a Lecturer or Senior Lecturer position and outline in their cover letter how they will contribute to one or more of the listed priorities.

Please note the above are not an exhaustive list. For further information about the role including the essential and desirable criteria, please click on the Candidate Information link below.
