About the College/Department

Here at the University of Derby, the College of Science and Engineering is the home STEM, the skills that are essential to the UK’s Industrial Strategy. From digitisation to decarbonisation, we have an important role to play in shaping the future. And by researching or collaborating with us, you can too.

The College brings together a powerful combination of scientific expertise, technological innovation, and creative practice. With disciplines spanning computing, AI, Data Science, engineering, environmental sciences, built environments and Psychology. We are uniquely positioned to solve real-world challenges through interdisciplinary collaboration.

Our courses are designed with employability and future industry needs in mind, supported by cutting-edge facilities, strong employer partnerships, and a commitment to sustainability. Through applied research and hands-on learning, we equip students and staff to drive progress in areas that matter most; from smart technology to clean energy, advanced manufacturing to immersive design.

School of Science

The School of Science brings together three key subject areas; Environmental Sciences, Biomedical and Forensic Science and Psychology. The School has strong links with key external agencies including the University Hospitals for Derby and Burton NHS Trust who support the Biomedical Sciences IBMS provision as well as research collaborations. The School also works with regional forensic science agencies including the police and private forensic science labs as well as numerous environmental agencies locally, nationally and internationally focusing on conservation, habitat management and environmental regeneration.

About the role

The Psychology subject area is home to the University's Psychology and Counselling and Psychotherapy provision, delivered at undergraduate and postgraduate level. As a TEF Gold institution, we are proud to contribute high quality programmes grounded in psychological and behavioural science with a significant focus on applied psychology and professional practice. We provide a large accredited provision across several Professional and Statutory Regulatory Bodies (including the BPS, HCPC, BABCP, BACP, NCPS and CIEHF). Our programmes provide undergraduate underpinnings and initial postgraduate training for some psychological professions, and support progression into careers across sectors such as marketing, business, management and leadership (and many more). Furthermore we offer training in a range of therapeutic modalities across the counselling and psychotherapy provision and contribute to the development of the wider psychological workforce through our NHS based commissioned programmes. In Psychology our provision is underpinned by excellent student support to achieve the best possible outcomes for our students and high quality progression opportunities into a range of careers. Our delivery is further underpinned by high quality scientific research and scholarly activity, with industry informed and based research at the forefront of curriculum developments to ensure programmes are meeting the needs of employers to foster the success of our graduates from across the subject.

We are excited to offer this permanent post to support the delivery of our growing British Psychological Society (BPS) accredited provision in Forensic Psychology and Psychology. As a Lecturer or Senior Lecturer in Forensic Psychology, you will contribute to the delivery of modules that form part of the undergraduate and postgraduate portfolio across the Psychology subject area, including core areas recognised by the British Psychological Society and any specialist areas. Our provision is delivered both on campus and online and this role will include delivery across both modes. Objectives of the post holder will be to contribute to the delivery of excellence in teaching across the portfolio, and to contribute to achievement of the highest outcomes for our students through excellent teaching and student support.

Psychology has an active research agenda and growing research profile. You will have the opportunity to engage with and/or support financially sustainable research and/or other appropriate academic and scholarly activity.

The role will include supporting our marketing events (e.g., open days) and outreach (e.g., school visits) which occasionally take place into evenings and at weekends. We do support hybrid working as business needs permit and in agreement with the Subject Lead.

We are advertising this role as a full time position, however we would also consider part time applications; please express your preference in your application.

Anticipated interview dates: Monday 14th September and Wednesday 16th September 2026

About You

You will contribute to teaching across our excellent provision to enhance its quality and ensure an outstanding student experience. This will be include predominantly forensic psychology and so the MSc Forensic Psychology qualification is essential and supports breadth of knowledge of forensic psychology across the BPS stage 1 curriculum. There will also be a remit to contribute more widely across psychology. As such, there is an expectation of working collaboratively within the Psychology subject area. You will also collaborate more widely across the School of Science, and wider institution across a range of activities such as curriculum delivery and supervision, and to progress the research and scholarship agenda. As such, skills in communication and collaboration are vital. The successful candidate will benefit from support to pursue research in keeping with the University of Derby academic themes, and contribute to our high-quality research profile.

We would especially welcome applications from candidates with expertise in forensic psychology, biological psychology and qualitative research methods, although other applications are not excluded. We welcome applications from candidates who are in the final stages of completing their PhD (submitted or awaiting examination).
