The successful candidate will contribute through new and innovative research lines that complement the existing research in one of the three research groups. In the Social and Applied Research Group, we have expertise in conflict and political violence, health psychology, and the exploration of social identity. In the Developmental Research Group, existing research strengths include the acquisition of literacy and numeracy, and the development of emotional wellbeing and regulation. In the Vision and Cognition Research Group, research strengths are recognised in spatial navigation, visual search, aesthetics and social cognition.

Consistent with the School of Psychology’s ambitions for excellence in teaching and in research, the successful candidate will support the teaching at undergraduate and postgraduate levels and contribute to its growing reputation for excellence in research.

Expertise in qualitative methods would be advantageous. The successful candidate will benefit from bespoke psychology laboratories that house up-to-date facilities for research and teaching.
