Description from the webpage:

Goldsmiths' Department of Psychology is a thriving centre of excellence in research and teaching with around 450 undergraduates, 130 postgraduates (including PhD and MSc students across 5 postgraduate programmes) and 35 academic staff. In the December 2008 RAE, the Department’s research activity was rated in the top 25 of UK psychology departments, with 50% of its research judged as internationally excellent or world-leading. The 2011 QS World University Rankings placed the Department in the UK top 20 overall, and 8th for research publications. The Department has a track record of attracting significant research income, involving both interdisciplinary and cross-cultural work; thus reinforcing Goldsmiths’ key values. The Department’s research-led teaching is highly rated: in the 2011 National Student Survey, 93% of students described the course as ‘intellectually stimulating’.

We are looking to appoint two excellent researchers from across all areas of psychology, but we anticipate appointing at least one candidate whose CV includes research which can translate into impact. Therefore, you will have a PhD (or equivalent) and a track record of research according to this remit. You will have published in international peer-reviewed journals, plus evidence of, or clear plans for developing, an externally-funded research programme. Your research will have potential pathways to impact. In addition you will demonstrate the enthusiasm and skills to teach students, and supervise their research, at all levels of our undergraduate and postgraduate programmes.

Additional Information: When submitting your application online please state clearly which role you are applying for e.g. the role where your CV should include research which can translate into impact, or the general role.
