The Department of Psychology and Human Development comprises a student-focused team of academics who deliver high-quality accredited degrees in Psychology including our BPS-accredited MSc in Occupational & Organisational Psychology and ABP-accredited MSc in Business Psychology. There are organisational and business routes in our closely allied applied positive psychology and coaching courses. The department also provides professional training in Psychology and a highly popular MSc Psychology (conversion) course as well as a suite of undergraduate accredited degrees.

Our breadth of provision complements a thriving research-based PhD programme. Alongside excellence in teaching, we also boast of an impressive research profile; in the most recent Research Excellence Framework () the school was one of only four submissions to secure 100% 4
* rating for research impact. We aim to support colleagues to develop their research plans and to submit grant applications and top-rated journal articles. This is a very exciting time to join an enthusiastic team of academics who can shape and influence the development of our applied UEL psychology provision. We would want to appoint as soon as possible.

Essential criteria;

• MA/MSc (or above) in Occupational/Organisational Psychology or Business Psychology (A/C)
• Knowledge of current developments in the field of Occupational/Organisational Psychology (A/I)
• Experience of delivering effective teaching and assessment in Higher Education including Masters level (A/I)
• Experience of providing research supervision to postgraduate students (A/I)
• Organisational psychology practice in the workplace (A/I)
• Excellent written and oral communication skills (I/P)
• Ability to manage complex processes and facilitate personal development (I)

The postholder will contribute to the provision of a high-quality, research-informed learning and assessment experience. This includes teaching across theoretical and applied components of the course (e.g., health and wellbeing at work; assessing and developing individuals in the workplace; work design, organizational change and development; leading and motivating people at work). You will supervise students undertaking research projects, applying your research skills (quantitative and/or qualitative as required) and supporting students’ development through their learning.

For appointment at Senior Lecturer level, the postholder will also play a role in curriculum design, research development, and/or programme innovation, contributing to the strategic direction of the programme within the School.

We welcome candidates who are committed to collaborative practice within the workplace, equal opportunities for diverse and multicultural students, as well as practical experience of applying organizational, occupational, or business psychology in the workplace. Ideally, you have relevant practitioner or research outputs such as experience of providing consultancy work, continuing professional development or other income-generation activities such as obtaining grants for applied work and research.

As appropriate for postgraduate delivery, you should have an up-to-date knowledge of the relevant frameworks for Higher Education quality (e.g., FHEQ, and ideally professional recognition, e.g., HEA).

If you are looking to build your career in a dynamic, inclusive and performance-focused team and are inspired by our environment and drive for success, we want you to apply to join the University of East London.
