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. 

The School has an active and growing research base. Psychology performed well in REF2014. Our current performance and continued investment in the discipline will lead to even better performance in REF2021

and beyond. 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 subject TEF.

The School of Human Sciences re-located to the fantastic Dreadnought building on the World Heritage site at the Old Royal Naval College, Greenwich in 2018. This move, along with the creation of new laboratory facilities, was part of a long-term plan to build internationally leading research and teaching in the Faculty.

We aim to be an equal opportunities employer and welcome applications from all sections of the community.
