Abertay is a modern university with a global outlook, rooted in its local and national communities. The University now seeks to appoint a Lecturer in Psychology within the School of Social and Health Sciences.
The School of Social and Health Sciences delivers programmes and applied research in the areas of nursing and counselling, psychology, sociology, and sport and exercise. There has been significant growth in the School's research output in recent years with the Psychology Division rated as the best Scottish modern University for research in REF2014.
Reporting to the Head of Division, you will provide specialist subject knowledge and input into teaching and research in psychology. Preference will be given to applicants that can teach biological psychology (although applicants from any cognate area will be considered), and whose research aligns with the priorities of the Division. We welcome applications from early career researchers, and will consider applications for part-time or flexible working.
You will be expected to take a role in the further advancement of this subject area, through continued development of your research publication profile, external engagement and provision of high quality teaching. In addition you will contribute to the delivery of research methods training, supervision of undergraduate dissertations and development of post graduate research.
The role requires you to work both independently and collegiately and be able to demonstrate good interpersonal, organisational and communication skills and have an ability to take initiative.
