School: School of Science Position: Faculty positions in Psychology and Behavioral Sciences Location: Suzhou, China Contract Type: Fixed-term, renewable. 3rd contract is open-ended About the UNIVERSITY In 2006 Xi’an Jiaotong-Liverpool University (XJTLU) was created by the University of Liverpool and Xi’an Jiaotong University – a top ten university in China. Offering a unique international education experience, XJTLU brings together excellent research practice and expertise from both institutions and gives students the skills and knowledge they need to secure careers in a global marketplace. XJTLU now has over 25,000 enrolled students in both Suzhou and Liverpool in the UK, with plans to grow to about 28,000 students by 2025. There are currently about 2,000 staff, among which about 1,000 academic staff, with an almost even split between citizens of the People’s Republic of China and international passport holders. XJTLU offers our undergraduates and postgraduates over 100 programmes with an interesting and diverse spectrum of courses. XJTLU is entering a new and exciting phase of its development as part of its strategic priorities for the next ten years. Adopting a new higher education model based on the concept of Syntegrative Education (SE), XJTLU is currently opening a new Entrepreneurial Education site in Taicang, part of wider Suzhou, where the Entrepreneur College (Taicang) is located. The Taicang site will be a pioneer of, and educational model for, the future campus in addressing challenges arising from the 4th Industrial Revolution. Other new initiatives include new working partnerships with Xi’an Jiaotong University, the continued development of the four new Academies, and exploration of further potential locations to develop the SE model. With a focus on innovative learning and teaching, and research, XJTLU draws on the strengths of its parent universities, and plays a pivotal role in facilitating access to China for UK and other institutional partners. At same time, XJTLU is exploring future education by blending the educational theory, best practice and culture from West and East. For detailed information about the university, please visit www.xjtlu.edu.cn About the ACADEMY OF LIFE AND NATURAL SCIENCES (ALNS) XJTLU is embarking on a transformative journey by establishing a new integrated Academy of Life and Natural Sciences (ALNS), which is a cornerstone of the university's strategy to lead in the rapidly evolving fields of life, biopharmaceuticals, materials, and health sciences. This initiative is a fundamental re-imagining of XJTLU’s academic architecture to foster unprecedented collaboration between foundational science, pharmaceutical innovation, and engineering principles. The ALNS will create a powerful ecosystem that leverages the existing strengths of the School of Science in fundamental biological, chemical, materials, and environmental sciences, along with the Academy of Pharmacy’s expertise in drug discovery, pharmaceutics, and translational medicine. This integration is essential for tackling complex global challenges, from personalized medicine to sustainable health solutions, and aligns with national and global research priorities. Vision To be a world-leading hub of interdisciplinary innovation where the convergence of life, health, biochemicals, materials, and pharmaceutical sciences delivers transformative education, groundbreaking research, and sustainable solutions for global health and well-being. Into this mix of established expertise, Academy has now embarked on developing a Research Centre focusing on Psychology and Behavioral Sciences that aims to support the launch of a new BSc in Psychology programme accredited by the British Psychological Society. Supported research and teaching areas will include: cognitive psychology, neuroscience, developmental psychology, social psychology, biological and abnormal psychology, clinical and forensic psychology, counseling and health psychology (especially aging), behavioral sciences, psychology methods, and studies of mental health, conflict, and decision-making.
