We seek to appoint a Professor of Neuroscience or Neuropsychology.
Applications are particularly encouraged from candidates with interests in
EEG methods and/or Hearing research, though we welcome other specialisms,
especially those that complement existing strengths in Cognitive,
Developmental, Social and Neuropsychology.

The Department of Psychology was graded 5A in RAE 2001 and with a maximum
24 points in the QAA teaching assessment exercise. We are well-resourced
with eye-tracking, 3D movement registration and Transcranial Magnetic
Stimulation facilities, a new 128-channel EEG facility with adult and
infant recording facilities, plus dedicated laboratory facilities for
computer-based experimentation, including a new suite of integrated
fully-insulated acoustic booths with control room. Recently, we
established the Sensory Neuroscience Unit as an international focus for
research in neuroscience and neuropsychology. The department has strong
links with local NHS hospitals and other departments in the University
(e.g., Clinical Psychology; Applied Statistics). We also have
collaborative links with other universities (e.g., for fMRI facilities).
The department has ESRC-recognised PhD and Masters programmes and a
buoyant undergraduate community, and has secured over £8m in research and
training funds in the past five years. We offer a supportive and
collegiate environment, with moderate and carefully managed teaching and
administration loads.

You should be a prominent internationally recognised researcher, with a
proven track record of publications, funding and supervision, and
demonstrated leadership in research and teaching.

This post is available from 1 April 2009. Informal enquiries can be made
to the Head of Department, Professor Tom Ormerod (Tel: 01524 593164,
