We understand that our teaching and research are enhanced by having a diversity of opinions that enriches our collegiate community by the sharing of new ideas, lived experiences, broad perspectives, and different ways of solving problems. 

You will contribute to the development of undergraduate students, mainly through the creation and delivery of workshops, tutorials, and seminars and supervision of project students at the undergraduate or masters level.

The School is developing a curriculum around active and flipped learning both online and in person. You will have completed, or be working toward completion of, a PhD or equivalent in Psychology or a related area, have experience of teaching, and a completed BPS accredited undergraduate degree (or equivalent conversion or overseas course) is desirable.

You will receive a generous holiday entitlement and a benefits package with a contributory pension scheme as well as options enabling you to save money on childcare, shopping, and services.
