[Michael Proulx]

(Note that vision researchers for both positions are very welcome!)

Post 1: Lectureship in Developmental Psychology (Ref: 09203/KR)

Post 2: Lectureship in Psychology – Open Area (Ref: 09204/KR)

Queen Mary University of London is one of the UK's leading
research-intensive higher education institutions, delivering world class
education and knowledge exchange across a wide range of subjects in the
Humanities, Social Sciences and Laws, Medicine and Dentistry and Science and
Engineering. Within Queen Mary, the large and expanding School of Biological
and Chemical Sciences provides a supportive and friendly environment and
encourages interdisciplinary research. Capitalising on the College’s
outstanding RAE performance, we intend to expand both staff and student
numbers.

For both posts we seek candidates with a strong publication record and
evidence of ability to secure research funding (commensurate with the stage
reached in their career) to support an exciting new research and teaching
initiative in psychology. Psychology at Queen Mary is practiced as a
biological and experimental science. We intend to expand the initiative by
recruiting in areas to complement our existing strengths, which are in
comparative cognition, neurobiology, evolution and behaviour, sex
differences and vision research.

Lectureship in Developmental Psychology - we are looking for someone who
uses a translational approach to the development of cognition and behaviour
(from animal models to human infants or children) or whose research is
informed by an evolutionary framework.

Lectureship in Psychology (open area) - we are seeking candidates with
expertise in any area of biological and experimental psychology but
applicants bringing new methodological expertise (such as EEG/ERPs) would be
particularly welcome.

Preference will be given to candidates whose research interests allow them
to be inspiring teachers in psychology. Candidates will be expected to play
an active role in the Biological and Experimental Psychology Group of the
new Research Centre in Psychology and be involved in the development of new
undergraduate psychology programmes (such as contributing specialist modules
in their field of interest).

Candidates must be able to demonstrate their eligibility to work in the UK
in accordance with the Asylum and Immigration Act 1999.

Informal enquiries may be made to the Head of School, Professor Peter
Heathcote, e-mail address: p.heathcote at qmul.ac.uk.

Devi-Paul, School of Biological & Chemical Sciences, Queen Mary, University

The closing date for completed applications is 4pm on Thursday 25th June
2009 (BST).

Additional Salary Information: Both posts are available on permanent
contracts. The salary is inclusive of London Allowance and will be according
