Dr William Brown
Senior Lecturer in Psychology
As a Natural Science and Engineering Research Council (NSERC) and Killam Scholar, I completed my PhD at Dalhousie University in Canada.
In 2003 I received a NSERC postdoctoral fellowship to study genomic imprinting in the USA. In 2006 I founded the Centre for Culture and Evolutionary Psychology at Brunel University teaching evolutionary biology and research methods.
In 2009 I moved to Queen Mary University of London and University of East London to teach research methods and behavioural biology.
I have been at the 亚色视频 since 2011 and was appointed Senior Lecturer in the School of Psychology in 2015.
