University of Surrey
School of Human Sciences
Department of Psychology
Reader in Psychology (Ref: 4858)
Salary up to £42,573 per annum

The Department is seeking to appoint an internationally recognised researcher in the area(s) of perception, cognition or cognitive neuroscience. Rated 5A in the recent RAE, Surrey's primary research strength has been in combining fundamental and applied research in Perception & Cognition, Developmental Psychology, Social Psychology, and Work & Health.  This new appointment will be based on our Guildford campus, and will contribute to the expansion of our research profile.  While it is hoped that the person appointed will capitalise on our existing strengths in the perception, human performance, applied cognitive psychology and cognitive neuroscience research areas, applicants with outstanding research records in our other areas of research strength are also invited to apply.

The Department is well resourced, has a thriving postgraduate community, and has excellent collaborative links with other academic departments.  Facilities available to support research in the areas of perception, cognition and cognitive neuroscience include a 3T fMRI scanner, a 0T fMRI simulator, high density EEG, a driving simulator, a perception and action laboratory and a variety of other laboratories dedicated to perception, cognition and cognitive neuroscience research. Members of the Department are also involved with the multi-disciplinary Surrey Sleep Research Centre, which has extensive new facilities adjacent to the campus. 

Salary will be appropriate to the qualifications and experience of the successful candidate, who will be asked to take up the appointment as soon as possible.  Whilst an appointment at Reader level is intended, outstanding early career candidates will also be considered for appointment at lectureship level.
