The School of Psychology is seeking applications for a continuing

will be given to the extent to which the applicant's research profile
complements the research strengths of the School. The School of
Psychology is one of the largest and most prestigious schools of
psychology in Australia.  It is internationally recognised for
research strengths across the breadth of psychology - cognitive

Level C, the successful appointee will have a developing
international reputation for his or her research in neuroscience,
have a strong research track record in relation to both publication
and external research income, a reputation for high quality teaching,
and be an experienced research supervisor in psychology. At Level D,
a strong international research reputation, an outstanding research
track record, a reputation for high quality teaching, and evidence of
successful supervision of postgraduate students in psychology are
required.

The successful appointee will be expected to pursue a strong and
productive program of research in neuroscience, to supervise
psychology honours and postgraduate research theses in neuroscience,
to contribute to the teaching of neuroscience in the undergraduate
and honours teaching programs in the School, and to strengthen the
links between the School and other centres and schools involved in
neuroscience research at the University of Queensland.

The remuneration package will be in the range $65,665- $75,716 per
annum for Level C plus 17% employer superannuation contributions, and
