In return, we offer a highly competitive rewards and benefits package including generous annual leave and training and development opportunities, as well as the potential for the successful applicant to develop our profile in their area of expertise through contributing to the recruitment of a future academic post. We offer a dynamic and supportive environment, in an internationally recognized department that ranks among the best in the UK for research (6th of UK Psychology departments in REF 2014) and receives very strong ratings from our students for teaching (UK NSS). The Department has excellent, state-of-the-art, well-supported facilities for undertaking research in a broad range of areas, such as MRI, EEG, TMS, eye trackers, behavioral testing suites, social and infant observation labs. It also has strong links with clinical organisations, as well as government, industrial, and charity affiliations. The Department also holds a prestigious Silver Athena SWAN award.
