Queen Mary University is one of the UK's leading research-intensive institutions. The Department of Biological and Experimental Psychology was founded in 2008 and emphasises a modern interdisciplinary approach, at the interface between behavioural (perception, cognition, communication and social life) and biological aspects of psychology (genomics, neuroscience, ethology and evolution) with an emerging focus on biological and psychological roots of resilience and well-being. To complement our staff, we are now seeking to appoint an ambitious research-driven psychologist (at the Lecturer level) with a strong track record of research outputs and potential for funding in the area of Well-Being and/or Positive Psychology.

Read the full mission statement

Europe is facing an influx of refugees that is unprecedented in recent times. These refugees are escaping war, violence, terrorism, political persecution and poverty. The community of psychologists in Europe, represented by the European Federation of Psychologists Associations (EFPA) follows on the appeal of United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, António Guterres, when he states “Europe cannot go on responding to this crisis with a piecemeal or incremental approach. No country can do it alone, and no country can refuse to do its part (…) The only way to solve this problem is for the Union and all member states to implement a common strategy, based on responsibility, solidarity and trust.”

The organization of this meeting has provided a venue for collaboration between SRCD with the European Association of Developmental Psychology (EADP) and the European Association of Research in Adolescence (EARA). Fifteen experts from the USA and Europe will take part in the meeting. EADP and EARA will each cover the expenses of one of the European participants.
