Lectureship in Psychology

The Department of Psychology at Lancaster University is on a path of substantial research expansion with a research building dedicated to behavioural testing across the lifespan, and specialised laboratories devoted to EEG, NIRS, and eye tracking, psychopharmacological testing, sleep studies, auditory testing, interviewing and observation, motion capture, and virtual reality testing.

Ask part of this growth, we are seeking to appoint a Lecturer (the equivalent of Assistant Professor) in an area that complements our research profile, particularly in the area of Social Processes or Perception and Action. There are currently four research groups within the Department: Infancy and Early Development; Language and Literacy; Perception and Action; and Social Processes. To find out more about each of these groups please visit www.lancaster.ac.uk/psychology/research

You should have a track record of research and teaching excellence demonstrated by publications, research grant acquisition, socio-economic impact, and teaching experience, commensurate with stage of career.

This appointment is part of a group of appointments that we are seeking to make. We are also looking to make two new Professorial appointments to enhance the capacity of two of our research groups: Social Processes (Professor in Social Psychology) and Perception and Action (Professor in Perception or Cognition).

The Department of Psychology provides a work environment that strongly supports the individual needs of each employee, promoting a healthy work-life balance. We hold the Athena SWAN Bronze award, recognising our commitment to the representation of and support for women in the academic workplace. We are committed to family-friendly and flexible working policies on an individual basis. We welcome applications from people in all diversity groups. Appointments will always be made on merit.

Informal enquiries are welcome and should be addressed to Prof. Kate Cain (email: k.cain@lancaster.ac.uk Tel: 01524 593990).
