The Department of Psychology at Lancaster University is currently seeking to recruit a Senior Lecturer or Lecturer in Neuroscience.

This is one of three strategic appointments to develop and enhance research and teaching in our growing Department.

The Department of Psychology at Lancaster University has a core complement of over 40 academic staff members and a vibrant community of post-doctoral researchers and PhD students across four research areas: Developmental Psychology, Cognitive Psychology, Neuroscience and Neurocognition, and Social Processes. Details of our research interests and facilities can be found here:

We embed research reproducibility and R-based teaching across the curriculum and actively support open science initiatives. For more information:

In the Psychology Department, we conduct world-leading research to elucidate neurocognitive, behavioral, and perceptual processes across the lifespan, in neurotypical and clinical populations. We focus on how such processes function both individually and during social interactions ('brain-to-brain').

Our research environment includes advanced technologies such as Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation, Multi-channel Transcranial electrical brain stimulation, EEG setups, functional Near-Infrared Spectroscopy, eye-trackers, motion tracking, Virtual Reality Suites, Computational Neuroscience facilities, Biophysics, sound-proof Auditory laboratories, polysomnography, and functional Transcranial Doppler. Equipment is shared across research groups to foster innovation.

The Department was awarded an Athena Swan Silver award and is committed to Lancaster University’s Equality, Diversity and Inclusion strategy and Widening Participation. We welcome applications from diverse backgrounds and support a healthy work-life balance. Applicants are encouraged to mention any career breaks or significant leave periods in their CV. Early career lecturers benefit from reduced teaching and administrative duties and have opportunities in funding, teaching awards, and career progression.

All applicants must demonstrate research and teaching excellence, evidenced by:

• publications,
• research grant acquisition,
• engagement and socio-economic impact,
• teaching and leadership experience.
