Lecturer/Senior Lecturer in Ergonomics and Human Factors

About the Role

The Psychology subject area is home to the University's Psychology, Ergonomics and Human Factors and Counselling and Psychotherapy provision, with programmes delivered at both undergraduate and postgraduate level. As a TEF Gold institution, we are proud to contribute high quality programmes grounded in psychological and behavioural science with a significant focus on applied psychology and professional practice. We host a large accredited provision across several Professional and Statutory Regulatory Bodies (including the CIEHF, BABCP, BACP, NCPS, BPS and HCPC).

The role holder will contribute to the academic leadership and delivery of modules on our MSc Ergonomics and Human Factors (with pathways), support supervision of student research projects and to the research profile of the Psychology Subject area, including applied Ergonomics and Human Factors research.

As we develop and grow our ergonomics and human factors provision, this role will include oversight, leadership and development of our online programmes, working with the Subject lead, senior academics and the wider teaching team to ensure continuation of excellent student experience and outcomes. The role will include leading and supporting our marketing events (e.g., open days) which occasionally take place into evenings and at weekends.

This is a part time position (0.6 FTE) which may be attractive to candidates who wish to continue practice based work and develop their academic practice alongside this.
