The School of Psychology and Clinical Language Sciences at the
University of Reading, UK, is seeking to appoint four outstanding
Lecturers (Assistant Professors) to further strengthen the School's
academic profile and to support its ambitious expansion plans. The
School houses the University Centre for Integrative Neuroscience and
Neurodynamics (CINN: http://www.reading.ac.uk/cinn/cinn-home.aspx).
CINN has a research dedicated 3T Siemens TIM Trio MRI scanner and
high-density EEG laboratories. These facilities are complemented by
high resolution stimulus display systems with integrated eye tracking,
psychophysiological measures, MRI compatible EEG, and TMS systems. It
is also closely linked to other University research centres including
the Institute for Cardiovascular & Metabolic Health, the Centre for
Food Security and the recently formed Centre for Applied Behavioural
Science.

The reputation of the School of Psychology and Clinical Language
Sciences is based on a world class contribution to psychology and
neuroscience in a number of areas, with the bridge between
neuroscience and clinical disorders being a common theme to much of
our research. Within the School there are four major research themes
(Psychopathology & Affective Neuroscience, Nutrition & Health,
Language & Cognition, Perception & Action) and two school-wide cross
themes (Neuroscience and Lifespan Development). In 2011/12 alone,
these research groupings generated in excess of £2 million of research
income from research councils, UK government bodies, charities and
industry.

Applications are welcomed from researchers that build on existing
strengths, with preference given to areas of developmental, social,
clinical or organisational psychology/neuroscience. You will have
publications in high impact journals, and the talent and aptitude to
succeed in an interdisciplinary and highly collegiate environment.

You will have:

- A doctorate in Psychology or a closely related area

- The ability to undertake original research and some teaching experience

- The ability to teach at undergraduate and postgraduate levels in at
least one core area of psychology

- A good recent publication track record in high impact journals

- A commitment to excellence in teaching and research at all levels

- An ability to work well with students and colleagues, and be
respectful and considerate of the skills of others

Evidence of writing and gaining external grant awards is an advantage.
 Start up costs and dedicated access to facilities such as the MRI
scanner are by negotiation.
