Address
University of Bath Division of Psychology

The Department of Psychology at the University of Bath is completing a significant expansion. The Department occupies a new purpose-built five–floor building, containing two floors of laboratories, including state-of-the-art EEG/ERP, virtual reality, rooms for interview, focus group and observation research, psychobiology, eye-tracking, pain, cross-modal and computerised testing labs.  As part of our expansion, we are beginning a new MSc in Applied Clinical Psychology.  This new programme will provide advanced training in theory and research relevant to Applied Clinical Psychology.

Two Lecturer appointments will help to expand our capacity in providing this program.  Research excellence will be a more important consideration than precise area of focus, but applicants must have the capacity to teach and supervise research on issues in Applied Clinical Psychology at a postgraduate level. The ability to teach advanced quantitative and/or qualitative research methods is desirable.

The Department has an established tradition of ‘theoretically informed applied psychology’ and we are seeking applicants with demonstrable research quality and impact. The Department operates a highly successful DClinPsych programme with accreditation from the British Association for Behavioural and Cognitive Psychotherapies.  In the 2014 Research Excellence Framework (REF) exercise, staff were returned in different units of assessment, the largest of which (Allied Health Professions) obtained the highest REF2014 rating across the whole University. The University was ranked 12th overall in the UK in REF2014. The Department was placed second in the country in The Complete University Guide, The Times and The Sunday Times Good University Guide 2016. More information about the Department can be found at http://www.bath.ac.uk/psychology/.

The University of Bath is situated in the beautiful World Heritage City of Bath and is part of the GW4 group of leading Universities (with Bristol, Cardiff and Exeter). Bath is also a member of the ESRC-funded South West Doctoral Training Partnership, which provides up to 45 PhD studentships each year across the partner institutions. Bath is 15 minutes from Bristol by train and 90 minutes from London and Oxford.
