Applications are invited for two permanent Teaching and Scholarship (0.4 FTE) Clinical Psychology posts at Lecturer or Senior Lecturer level (depending on experience), in the Department of Psychology, Goldsmiths, University of London.
Although the role is advertised as two 0.4 FTE posts, there is potential for flexibility depending on the successful candidates’ requirements. Successful applicants will join a caring and collegial department with a vibrant research environment and a strong commitment to excellence in research and teaching.
To each post we wish to appoint two Clinical Psychologists with an interest in sharing their expertise and helping to develop the next generation of psychologists. We are seeking an individual who can make excellent and inspiring contributions to teaching delivery on our undergraduate and postgraduate programmes.
We welcome applicants from all areas of Clinical Psychology and seek to appoint individuals who can complement our existing strengths or establish new areas of expertise within the department. Many of our staff have interdisciplinary backgrounds or work with special populations across the lifespan, often in real-world settings and with naturalistic stimuli. The five broad research groups in the Department are:
- Clinical and Forensic Science
- Cognition and Neuroscience
- Developmental and Educational Science
- Science of the Creative and Performing Arts
- Social Processes and Personality
The Psychology department at Goldsmiths boasts a vibrant research community in an inherently interdisciplinary environment at the intersection of the arts, the social and the life sciences.
The department has a successful and long-standing track record of attracting significant research funding. 100% of our research impact and 82% of our overall research activity is rated officially world-leading or internationally excellent in terms of originality, significance and rigour (Research Excellence Framework 2021). Psychology at Goldsmiths is ranked in the UK Top 40 for research power (Times Higher Education rankings, Research Excellence Framework 2021) and in the Top 150 of Psychology Departments worldwide (Times Higher Education World University Rankings 2023). The department houses state-of-the-art research facilities, including brain stimulation, lab-based and mobile EEG, wearable sensing and eye-tracking equipment.
We are strongly committed to open science principles and to applying research to influence policy and practice in society and real-world contexts. The department supports early career researchers through internally funded PhD bursaries, an individual mentoring scheme and university-wide research seed-funding initiatives.
Campus-based and in the heart of southeast London, the Psychology department at Goldsmiths offers a distinctive research-led teaching and learning experience to a highly diverse local and global student population. Our undergraduate programme is the UK’s top psychology programme for social mobility (Sutton Trust Universities and Social Mobility report 2021).
We are in the process of transforming our UG programme with a focus on three themes, Mental Health & Wellbeing, Cognition & Culture and Psychology & Society to provide a current, critical and creative psychology education that prepares students for addressing the challenges of modern society.
Our postgraduate programmes have a strong focus on interdisciplinarity and real-world applications, including the MSc in Computational Cognitive Neuroscience (delivered together with the Goldsmiths Computing department), a BPS accredited MSc in Forensic Psychology and two internationally unique programmes bridging the arts and cognitive neuroscience, the MSc in Music, Mind and Brain and the MSc Psychology of the Arts, Neuroaesthetics and Creativity.
