The role may also contribute to administrative responsibilities, participation in departmental planning and committees, and support research and program development activities, particularly at the Senior Lecturer level.

To be successful in the position, you will need:

• A doctoral or masters qualification in the relevant discipline area or equivalent accreditation and standing and/or recognised significant experience in Psychological theories
• Demonstrated strong publication record in high-quality refereed journals and textbooks or equivalent teaching resources
