Qualifications
Those qualified for appointment as a senior lecturer are individuals who have been awarded a PhD in psychology, have demonstrated teaching expertise, have completed at least five weeks of training in higher education teaching and learning or have acquired the equivalent knowledge.

Teaching expertise includes a documented ability to contribute to work involving the development of higher education teaching and learning and quality of education.
