School Manager - School of Psychology

The School of Psychology is one of the most prestigious schools of psychology in Australia, and its strong reputation is built on excellence in both research and teaching. The School has thriving and dynamic research profiles in almost all areas of psychology, and is able to attract visitors from overseas and other institutions in Australia. It possesses good links, often through cross-appointed staff, with other schools in the University, thus creating opportunities for interdisciplinary collaborative research.

The School's strengths are reflected in its research centres, which span the major areas of the discipline, including experimental, social, developmental, clinical and organisational psychology. Some 150 students are presently enrolled in the School's PhD program and, while their areas of research are often linked to these centres, their topics cover the full spectrum of the discipline.
