Description:

Lecturer in the Social Psychology of Language and Communication

We wish to appoint a Lecturer in the Social Psychology of Language and 
Communication who will join our newly established Centre for Social and 
Cognitive Research in the Public Interest (SCORPIO). This Centre has a 
core complement of 12 members of academic staff, including social, 
forensic and cognitive psychologists. All members of the Centre conduct 
theoretically informed research that addresses societal concerns in areas 
such as criminal justice, skill acquisition, behavioural economics, 
collaborative decision-making, educational enhancement and social 
inclusion. The Centre is keen to appoint an individual who will strengthen 
research in one or more of its current research units:

-  The Social Interaction & Social Cognition Unit
-  The Knowledge & Skills Unit
-  The Investigative Expertise Unit

You should be an excellent researcher with a proven track record of high-
quality publications and evidence of engagement with securing external 
research funding. You will join a strong academic team and will play an 
important role in addressing Lancaster's ambition to retain its position as a 
top 10 UK university and to achieve its goal of becoming one of the 
world's top 100 institutions. Working to enhance Lancaster's distinctive 
ethos of innovative thinking and interdisciplinary collaboration, you will 
contribute excellent research and teaching to strengthen the reputation of 
the SCORPIO Centre and the Psychology Department.

The SCORPIO Centre is well resourced, with excellent testing facilities 
including eye-tracking equipment, 3D movement registration systems and 
audio-visual recording laboratories. The Centre is also developing a state-
of-the-art interviewing facility. The Centre has strong links with a range of 
regional and national agencies, especially in relation to security, law 
enforcement, criminal justice and education. Members of the Centre also 
work closely with other departments within the University, including 
Computing & Communications, Linguistics, Economics, Educational 
Research, Law and Management Science. The SCORPIO Centre 
additionally has strong collaborative links with other regional, national and 
international universities.

The quality of the Department's international research is mirrored by the 
quality of its teaching (e.g., The Telegraph currently features Lancaster as 
a top-10 UK undergraduate psychology course). The Department's 
postgraduate provision is thriving and includes ESRC-recognised PhD 
and Masters programmes. The Department's undergraduate community is 
likewise extremely buoyant. We offer a supportive and collegiate 
environment, with moderate and carefully managed teaching and 
administration loads. 

Informal enquiries can be made to the Head of Department, Dr Linden J 
Ball (l.ball at lancaster.ac.uk), the Director of the SCORPIO Centre, Prof 
Tom Ormerod (t.ormerod at lancaster.ac.uk) or the Coordinator of the 
Social Interaction & Social Cognition Unit, Prof Susan Condor 
(s.condor at lancaster.ac.uk). Further information about the Department is 
available at http://www.psych.lancs.ac.uk

Salary:  £31,948 to £35,938.
