The successful candidate should be someone with a Ph.D degree (or is awaiting conferment), has research interests and expertise in line with ongoing research in the Department, and can teach modules offered by the Department. More information on the research conducted in the Department and the modules offered by the Department can be found at http://www.fas.nus.edu.sg/psy/
