Apologies for those who clicked on the link below and found these positions had disappeared; apparently they had been advertised as 'research associates' when they should have been advertised as 'research fellows'. But they are back up on the webpage now and there is a new closing date of 9 April 2012.

 Interviews are expected to be held: 10 May 2012

For further information and full job descriptions, please see http://bit.ly/wEwvRM

Many thanks,
Kirsten
P.S. All other information remains the same.

Subject: 3 independent 2-year post-doc positions in Psychology at University of Kent, UK


Salary (£)31,020 - 35,938

Closing date: 25 Mar 2012


The Role
The School of Psychology is seeking to appoint 3 postdoctoral research fellows in the School's key areas of research (Social Psychology, Cognitive Psychology, Forensic Psychology, Developmental Psychology) to engage in and contribute to the School's research programme and further strengthen the School's research profile for the REF 2014. The positions are fixed term for 2 years and full time. We are looking to appoint candidates who have an established record of excellence in psychological research as demonstrated by high-profile publications in peer-reviewed journals (commensurate with the time since they were awarded their PhD or equivalent qualification). As a postdoctoral research fellow, the successful candidate will be expected to work independently, while at the same time seeking collaboration with the academic members of the School (in your application please discuss which member/s of the School you would be interested in collaborating with), and make a significant contribution to the School's research activities regarding research outputs (e.g., journal publications) and research grant applications. Although the post will primarily be a research-only position, the successful candidate may be required to contribute to the School's teaching programmes, including possible supervision of research students (PGR) and/or UG and PGT students' research projects.

The Person
You will hold a PhD in Psychology or a cognate discipline and have successful completion of internationally excellent research including publications in peer-reviewed academic journals. Experience in at least one of the areas of the School's research programmes or any of the academic members' focal research interests is also a requirement of the role holder. Up-to-date knowledge of the methods used in the field of specialism, and how to apply them (e.g. statistical expertise for data analysis) is essential. For full details of the role and person specification, please click on the job description link below.

The Department
In recent years, the School has made significant investments in its research capacity and strengths, both in terms of faculty and equipment. Since 2001, the School has doubled in size. We currently have an establishment of 35 academic staff, 40 PhD students and 10 independently funded research staff. Our annual student intake includes 60 students at Masters Level. We have Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) recognition for all our Masters Programmes, and BPS accreditation for our MSc programme Forensic Psychology. Kent's School of Psychology is also part of the ESRC South East Doctoral Training Centre (DTC), and therefore offers studentships to fund either (1+3) or (+3) research, as well as other scholarships offered by the School and University. The School of Psychology at the University of Kent has established itself as a leading centre of research and teaching in theoretical and applied psychology and has a commitment to excellence in scientific research with a concern for problems of contemporary relevance focusing on four key areas: Social Psychology, Cognitive Psychology, Forensic Psychology and Developmental Psychology.

Closing date for applications: 25 March 2012. Interviews are expected to be held: 10 May 2012. Please see the links below to view the full job description and also to apply for this post (please do not send your application directly to the department).
