London, Greater London, United Kingdom King's College London Full time

Job description

The post provides an exciting opportunity to join the Department of Psychological Medicine at the Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology and Neuroscience (IoPPN) at King's College London, and to contribute to the development and delivery of our new MSc Clinical Psychotherapy.

Based at Denmark Hill, and with very close links to the South London and Maudsley Trust, the IoPPN is a Faculty of King's College London and the largest academic community in Europe devoted to the study and prevention of mental illness and brain disease. It produces more highly cited outputs (top 1% citations) on psychiatry and mental health than any other centre (SciVal 2021), and on this metric has risen from 16th to 4th in the world for highly cited neuroscience outputs. In the 2021 Research Excellence Framework (REF), 90% of research at the IoPPN was deemed 'world leading' or 'internationally excellent' (3* and 4*).The IoPPN's greatest strength is the interdisciplinary nature of both its research strategy and educational activities, providing unique opportunities for students and staff. Link to IoPPN

The IoPPN runs both highly successful undergraduate and taught postgraduate programmes, including a number of MSc programmes that draw on the research and clinical expertise of the Faculty. The MSc Clinical Psychotherapy is an exciting new programme, launching for 2024 entry.

The appointment will be made at Lecturer level on the Academic Education Pathway, where the primary contribution is to education (80% of role) and secondary contribution to scholarship which is primarily education-focused (20%). The AEP contract is focused on the delivery of education, education-related scholarship, and leadership in education. The following expectations are associated with the AEP: teaching, supervision, student support, educational leadership and innovation, education-related research and administration. Promotion is possible throughout the Academic Education Pathway, up to the level of Professor (Education).

The role requires a skilled educator to teach postgraduate students on topics related to psychoanalytic theory and clinical practice and psychotherapy research methodology. The successful candidate needs to be able to enhance the education and experiences of our postgraduate students, delivering appealing teaching and contributing to the development of our curricula, teaching and assessment methods. The successful candidate will have the opportunity to contribute to the ongoing design of the MSc in Psychotherapy programme, in conjunction with the Programme Lead, e.g., in response to student feedback.

The role involves teaching, administration, delivery, assessment, overseeing dissertations and enhancement of taught modules. Education and teaching will be the main focus of this post.

The scholarship component of the role stands at 20% and is expected to be substantially, although not entirely, education focused. Research interests are likely to relate to a pedagogical area or one that impacts on the student experience and/or leads to evidence-based teaching. However continued research in another field is also possible, within the framework of the role. The content of a member of staff's workload will be decided in discussion with the Head of Department or line manager.

The selection process will include a panel interview and a presentation.

This post will be offered as an indefinite contract from 1st August 2024.

We are offering two 0.5FTE part-time positions or one 1.0 FTE full-time post.

£51,974 per annum pro rata, including London Weighting Allowance
