An exciting opportunity has arisen for an Assistant Professor in the Academic Unit, Mental Health and Clinical Neurosciences within the established programme team of the Trent Doctorate in Clinical Psychology. This post is an Academic Tutor role, based at the University of Nottingham.

The programme is a partnership between the Universities of Nottingham and Lincoln and three local NHS Trusts in Derbyshire, Nottinghamshire and Lincolnshire. Our intake is 32 trainees per year and the programme is approved by the HCPC and accredited by the BPS.

You will be a qualified Clinical Psychologist, with post-qualification experience, who is registered with the HCPC and eligible for Chartered Status with the BPS. You will be responsible for the design, delivery and evaluation of an academic module within the programme. You will be able to influence the teaching and assessment methods across the programme and make an important contribution to our Trainee Clinical Psychologists by assessing their work and providing developmental feedback. You will also act as Personal Tutor to a number of Trainee Clinical Psychologists, which will position you as their primary source of pastoral support during training. There will also be the opportunity to develop a stream of research within your chosen field of expertise and to supervise doctoral research.

The University of Nottingham provides generous employment packages whilst supporting the well-being of our staff to help them reach their full potential. As a university employee, you will have an excellent choice of benefits and rewards, including access to fitness and health facilities, staff discounts and travel schemes, along with a competitive holiday allowance and a highly attractive pension scheme.
