Following successful recruitment of many new lecturers in Psychology this academic year, we are pleased to be able to offer an additional post for a Lecturer in Sport and Exercise Psychology.

The School of Human Sciences is based within the fantastic Dreadnought building on the World Heritage site at the Old Royal Naval College, Greenwich. These facilities, including bespoke new laboratories, are part of significant investment in the School and part of a long-term plan to build internationally leading research and teaching in the Faculty. As part of this investment we are looking to appoint a dynamic and engaged colleague to help grow and develop the School. We will be developing our portfolio of accredited postgraduate taught programmes, including consolidating the success of our existing master’s degree in Sport and Exercise Psychology. This compliments and extends our existing provision in, for example, our accredited BSc H Business Psychology programme. 

You will be joining a School and Faculty that is building a strong interdisciplinary and cross-professional approach to solving the grand challenges facing society. We are looking for colleagues who will have a commitment to maintaining and building the University’s excellence in teaching and learning, and who are doing research that has the potential for significant long-term academic and societal impact. As a Faculty we also welcome candidates whose research work will resonate with one or more new interdisciplinary Faculty Research Centres within the Institute for Lifecourse Development:

• Centre for Chronic Disease and Ageing
• Centre for Exercise, Activity and Rehabilitation
• Centre for Inequalities 
• Centre for Mental Health 
• Centre for Professional Workforce Development
• Centre for Thinking and Learning
• Centre for Vulnerable Children and Families

The school has an active and growing research base. We had a strong performance in REF2021 particularly with regard to ‘research environment’. The University is currently rated TEF silver, reflecting our excellent teaching and learning, and we have realistic aspirations to achieve a TEF rating of ‘gold’ in any forthcoming assessment exercise. The school was nominated as ‘School of the Year’ in the Student Led Teaching awards, 2023.

We are looking to recruit an individual with a developing track record of scholarly outputs and professional activities who, at the same time, is able to demonstrate commitment to teaching excellence and innovation as well as appropriate experience of teaching in the HE sector for this level. Candidates would be expected to have a PhD, or significant public health sector experience. 

Informal enquiries can be made to Dr Charlotte Jeavons (Head of School); email: [email protected]
