Fwd: 4 Lecturer/Assistant Professor positions at University of Reading, UK

FYI The School of Psychology and Clinical Language Sciences at the University of Reading, UK, is seeking to appoint four outstanding Lecturers (Assistant Professors) to further strengthen the School's academic profile and to support its ambitious expansion plans. The School houses the University Centre for Integrative Neuroscience and Neurodynamics (CINN: http://www.reading.ac.uk/cinn/cinn-home.aspx). CINN has a research dedicated 3T Siemens TIM Trio MRI scanner and high-density EEG laboratories. These facilities are complemented by high resolution stimulus display systems with integrated eye tracking, psychophysiological measures, MRI compatible EEG, and TMS systems. It is also closely linked to other University research centres including the Institute for Cardiovascular& Metabolic Health, the Centre for Food Security and the recently formed Centre for Applied Behavioural Science. The reputation of the School of Psychology and Clinical Language Sciences is based on a world class contribution to psychology and neuroscience in a number of areas, with the bridge between neuroscience and clinical disorders being a common theme to much of our research. Within the School there are four major research themes (Psychopathology& Affective Neuroscience, Nutrition& Health, Language& Cognition, Perception& Action) and two school-wide cross themes (Neuroscience and Lifespan Development). In 2011/12 alone, these research groupings generated in excess of £2 million of research income from research councils, UK government bodies, charities and industry. Applications are welcomed from researchers that build on existing strengths, with preference given to areas of developmental, social, clinical or organisational psychology/neuroscience. You will have publications in high impact journals, and the talent and aptitude to succeed in an interdisciplinary and highly collegiate environment. You will have: - A doctorate in Psychology or a closely related area - The ability to undertake original research and some teaching experience - The ability to teach at undergraduate and postgraduate levels in at least one core area of psychology - A good recent publication track record in high impact journals - A commitment to excellence in teaching and research at all levels - An ability to work well with students and colleagues, and be respectful and considerate of the skills of others Evidence of writing and gaining external grant awards is an advantage. Start up costs and dedicated access to facilities such as the MRI scanner are by negotiation.
