Psychology Professorship: Southampton University

UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHAMPTON DEPARTMENT OF PSYCHOLOGY CHAIR IN PSYCHOLOGY AND HEALTH The Department of Psychology at Southampton is currently experiencing a period of rapid growth and change. The newly established Chair in Psychology and Health is a key element in this restructuring process. The appointee will provide professorial leadership for one of the three key research groupings in the Department [the other two being (2) Learning and Development and (3) Cognitive Psychology] contributing to its overall research as well as its teaching programmes, particularly at the postgraduate level. The appointment will also facilitate interdisciplinary research in the Faculty of Social Sciences and the new Faculty of Medicine, Health, and Biological Sciences. The Department seeks a person whose record of research, publication, and achievement in psychology is of international standing. In addition to an exemplary track record of personal research, an essential requirement is the capacity to facilitate the research of others. The relationship between psychology and health is to be interpreted broadly, including, inter alia: mental health, occupational health, health behaviours, child health, impact of illness on cognitive and emotional function.
