Job description

Overview

We seek to appoint an outstanding academic to join a vibrant and research-intensive school. The post is primarily associated with the new MSc in Mental Health Science and will significantly shape the programme alongside team members in the Health and Wellbeing research theme. We are looking for someone with an excellent track record of publishing and grant capture in mental health and wellbeing research. We are particularly keen to receive applications from candidates with expertise in common mental health conditions (anxiety/depression) and/or wellbeing, as well as those who use advanced multivariate or longitudinal methods.

Hybrid working and campus presence

Hybrid working is also available. 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.

EEO and inclusion

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.

Responsibilities

Working in a collegiate and supportive school, teaching across postgraduate and undergraduate programmes, focusing on our MSc in Mental Health Science. 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. In addition, you will be publishing high quality research in international journals, submitting grants to develop your research programme and support a research team. You will make a positive contribution to research culture in the School and the University and maximise the impact of your research with external partners.

Qualifications

You are committed to the highest academic standards, have experience in research and teaching within higher education. You 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 excellent research, capturing grant income, and supervising students and colleagues as well as experience of teaching. You should have the ability to develop and grow an independent team to support and sustain your research programme.
