Job description

We seek to appoint an outstanding academic in the area of cognitive neuroscience to join a vibrant and research-intensive school. The post will sit in the newly created School of Psychology and Neuroscience (name TBC). Candidates must have an excellent track record of publishing and grant capture and a background in relevant teaching in higher education.

We are committed to equality of opportunities for all and a selection process based on merit. We welcome applications from all and would encourage applications from women and people from a minority ethnic background and LGBTQIA+ communities.

Hybrid working: Our programmes are taught in person and on campus, you would be expected to be on campus for all student-facing activities. Typically, staff in the school are on campus 3 days a week, but this varies substantially, we normally expect a minimum of one day on campus per week.

What will you be doing?

Working in a collegial and supportive school, you will be publishing high quality research in international journals, submitting grants to develop your research programme and support a research team (including postgraduate research students, and researchers). You will make a positive contribution to research culture in the School and the University and will maximise the impact of your research with external partners.

You will teach across postgraduate and undergraduate programmes. Teaching duties include developing and organising units, assessment setting and marking, and student supervision (both research projects and personal tutoring).

You will have a school administrative role commensurate with your pathway and level and contribute positively to our community and running of the school.

You are committed to the highest academic standards, are aware of culturally inclusive teaching, committed to open science and best‑practice in pedagogy. You can engage enthusiastically and effectively with professional and academic staff and work independently to organise your own schedule.

You have a track record of publishing in international journals, capturing grant income, and supervising students and colleagues as well as experience of teaching and organising teaching and assessment. You should have the ability to develop and grow an independent team to support and sustain your research programme.
