The School of Psychology seeks to appoint a Lecturer (Level B) with suitable expertise and ability to contribute to undergraduate teaching in psychological statistics.

The School of Psychology attracts excellent undergraduate and postgraduate students and has well-equipped teaching and research facilities.
