The Research Tutor will supervise the research projects of no more than 6 students per year and participate in the marking of research assessment. The role also involves some personal tutoring and delivery of a few research workshops for the MSc Early Child Development and Clinical Applications, which is a two-year, full-time programme (formerly known as MSc Psychoanalytic Developmental Psychology). The programme team is made up of 15 dedicated colleagues, including directors, teaching and support staff. It has an intake of between 15-21 students each year (a total of 30-40 students when Year 1 and Year 2 students are running concurrently). More information about the programme and role responsibilities can be found on the Job Profile.

The successful candidate will be experienced in supervising research projects, have a good understanding of qualitative and quantitative research methods and confidence in using statistical software packages, specifically SPSS and R, to support postgraduate students in their research projects. A PhD or professional doctorate in a relevant area is essential.

This is a fantastic opportunity to join a highly respected institution in the field of child mental health, with a range of development opportunities in clinical, research, and academic capacities.
