Applications are invited for the permanent role of Principal Lecturer in Psychology with additional responsibility as Head of the Department of Performance, Health and Wellbeing in the School of Psychology. The Head of Department position is advertised on a three-year fixed term basis in the first instance (with a possibility to extend) and includes leadership and management responsibilities that are carried out in addition to the applicant’s substantive permanent role. The specific responsibilities and working arrangements are detailed in the job description; 0.5 FTE remission is given to allow appropriate time to carry out the Head of Department duties alongside the substantive role.

We seek to appoint an organised and forward-thinking individual who can provide strong leadership to Departmental staff and courses whilst working as an active member of the School of Psychology Senior Management Team. The Head of Department will deliver enhancements in BSc Psychology student experience and outcomes, development of new postgraduate Psychology courses and increased research funding and evidence of impact.
