Associate Professor of Social Psychology

Applications are invited for an Associate Professorship in Social Psychology
based at the Department of Experimental Psychology, Oxford, with effect from 1
October 2025 or as soon as possible thereafter. The post is in association
with a Tutorial Fellowship at Christ Church. The Associate Professor will have
expertise in social psychology and join a dynamic and collaborative department
whose aim is to conduct world-leading research to understand the psychological
and neural mechanisms relevant to human behaviour and to translate these
findings into evidence-based public benefits and mental health and wellbeing,
education, industry, and policy.





The main duties of this post will be to conduct an independent research
programme in social psychological science, and to contribute to teaching
undergraduate and graduate courses in the department through lectures,
practical classes, and supervision, and to college teaching and tutorials. We
encourage applications from across the breadth of social psychology and that
draw on a range of research methods. We particularly welcome research that
helps embed social psychology in real-world contexts and brings tangible
societal benefits, in line with our commitment to supporting impact.





You should have a doctorate in Psychology or a related science; an ability to
contribute to teaching and training of undergraduate and graduate students; a
strong and developing track record of research in social psychology and allied
fields; and current research funding or an independent research track record
likely to attract competitive research grant funding. You will also be
expected to participate in the administration and governance of Christ Church
and administration within the Department of Experimental Psychology.





An attractive financial package is offered to the successful applicant,
including a College housing allowance of £19,152 per annum (current rate) plus
other benefits.
