This is a rare opportunity to join a busy, friendly, and lively team of Professional Services staff, who are vital to the smooth running of this growing school. You will join us during an exciting period of transition, and we will explore with you the opportunities this can afford.
Research activity in the school is high, and you will work with faculty who are making significant and world-leading contributions to science. The school works across several strategic research areas, including exciting collaborations within school research groups, the university, and externally with academic, institutional, and commercial partners.

Anchored by our core values of kindness, integrity, inclusion, collaboration and courage, our research and teaching address societal challenges to create a better world. The School of Psychology is proud to hold a Silver Athena Swann Award.
