Professor and Head of Psychology

At BU our vision is to create a stimulating, challenging and rewarding University experience in a world-class learning community, through sharing a unique fusion of education, research and professional practice and inspiring our students and staff to enrich the world.
Over the past five years Psychology has undergone a period of rapid expansion resulting in a vibrant research culture. Areas of research strength are cognition (with laboratories in Attention & Memory, Face Processing, and Visual Cognition) and wellbeing (with laboratories in Eating Behaviour, Wellbeing in Older Adults, and Mental Health). Facilities supporting our research include mobile and static eye tracking, virtual environments, and mobile EEG with new state-of-the-art EEG laboratory facilities being developed now.
We are particularly keen to receive applications from candidates who have expertise in eating behaviour and mental health but all candidates who complement existing areas of research strength will be actively considered.
You will combine leadership skills with a strong record of research and the ability to obtain external grant income to meet BU’s Professorial criteria.
Candidates are encouraged to contact Professor Siné McDougall (current Head of Psychology) for an informal discussion prior to submitting an application (Tel: 01202 961722 or email smcdougall@bournemouth.ac.uk )
