  • Contribute to the production and delivery of interdisciplinary curricula involving psychology within The Open University curriculum more broadly.

Research

  • Engage actively in research and produce high quality research outputs that have the potential to be entered in a future REF exercise (or equivalent) for Unit 04 Psychology, Psychiatry and Neuroscience.
  • Demonstrate a research synergy with, or extension to, areas investigated by members of the School in at least one of the existing three research strands.
  • Contribute to research activities and events complementary to on-going research in the School, Faculty and the Open Psychology Research Centre, and take an active role in research communities.

Academic Management

Essential Requirements

Hybrid working will be available for the successful candidate, but there will be a requirement to travel to Milton Keynes when required, as business needs dictate.
