Hi all,
 
As you probably know, Kevin Brooks is leaving us this November to return
to Sydney. We have had approval from Chancellory to fill this vacancy
(at lecturer level) by October, in time for the RAE. The person would
have to be contracted to us on 31st October. This means that time is
VERY tight. We plan to advertise on the web (www.jobs.ac.uk
<http://www.jobs.ac.uk/> ), with a closing date of 25th June, and an
interview date of July 16th / 17th. 
 
Because of the RAE pressures, it is less likely that we will recruit
from a UK university (who will be trying to retain their research active
staff). Consequently, we may have more success from overseas applicants.
But, contacting them is the tricky part. This is where YOU come in, and
where we can benefit from our international staffing.  If EVERYONE were
able to get 1 candidate to apply, then we would be able to short-list a
strong field of applicants, I am sure. 
 
Feel free to email people, informing them that we have a current
vacancy. Don't make any promises we can't keep, but otherwise, get
contacting good people. We are willing to consider recruitment in ANY
area of psychology. 
 
Currently, I am waiting for the final version of the advert from
Personnel, with job reference numbers etc. Once I get that I will
circulate it for you to forward to individuals, or mail-lists. In the
meantime, get your thinking caps on.  
 
 
Tim
