The posts are available from 1^st September 2026 until 31^st August 2030 and will have associated teaching duties, equivalent to 0.5 fte, with part-time PhD registration fees (at home / UK rate) met by the Department. Teaching duties will include contributing to the provision of statistics, research methodology, and laboratory classes to year one and year two undergraduates, in addition to a number of designated administrative roles.

Psychology at Liverpool enjoys a strong reputation for research excellence, with first class research facilities and a large community of research postgraduate students. The research areas available for these posts are in any of the main research areas within the Department of Psychology (see Job Description for specific research areas and potential supervisors). All candidates must discuss their research proposals with potential research supervisors prior to applying and will be required to submit an outline research proposal.

The University supports hybrid working where possible, but the successful candidate for this role would be expected to be based on campus for the majority of the time and would need to adapt their working arrangements around the required teaching delivery.
