2 SENIOR LECTURERS (TENURABLE)
1 LECTURER (TENURABLE)
1 LECTURER (3-YEAR FIXED TERM).
Applications for these positions are invited from candidates
with research interests in any area of Psychology.
For one of the Senior Lecturer posts expertise in the field
of Organizational Psychology is highly desirable. A
successful candidate in this area will be expected to
provide teaching and research leadership, taking
responsibility for the Organizational Psychology stream of
the two-year Master of Psychology programme. Professional
experience is desirable. The ability to forge links with the
local commercial and business community, and a strong
research record (evidenced by such indicators as
publications, research grants, or contract funds) are
essential.
Although academic excellence will be the major criterion in
each case, Cognitive Neuropsychology, Personality, and
Social Psychology are areas which would be especially
valued. Applicants who wish to be considered for appointment
at Senior Lecturer level would be expected to possess a PhD,
have a strong record of published research, and have
substantial experience of University teaching. Applicants
for a lectureship would be expected to possess a PhD, have a
promising record of published research, and have some
experience of University teaching. A record of success as a
practitioner in a field may be considered to offset some of
the normal academic prerequisites.
The Department of Psychology has an outstanding record of
research, is one of the largest and most vigorous in this
thriving university, and facilities for teaching and
research are excellent. Housing costs are among the lowest
in Australia, the climate makes possible a wide range of
lifestyles, and there are attractive removal and other
