From kriegstein at cbs.mpg.de Wed Sep 6 16:02:42 2017 From: kriegstein at cbs.mpg.de (Katharina von Kriegstein) Date: Wed, 6 Sep 2017 17:02:42 +0200 (CEST) Subject: [Face-research-list] Research Assistant Position at MPI-CBS, Germany Message-ID: <790048996.144509.1504710162632.JavaMail.zimbra@cbs.mpg.de> We are seeking a part-time research assistant/lab manager to work in the Human Communication group led by Katharina von Kriegstein at the Max Planck Institute for Human Cognitive and Brain Sciences (MPI CBS) in Leipzig, Germany. Research in the group focuses on the investigation of neural mechanisms of human communication using a broad spectrum of neuroscientific methods (functional and structural MRI, MEG, tDCS, TMS). Research involves typically developed populations as well as populations with developmental communication deficits (developmental dyslexia, autism spectrum disorder, phonagnosia, proposagnosia). The position will involve recruiting participants, running behavioural tests, assistance with data-acquisition in MRI, TMS and tDCS studies, assistance with data analyses, assistance with grant applications and literature searches, attending lab meetings, supervising undergraduate students in the lab and overseeing day-to-day lab operations. The candidate should have a university degree in psychology, neuroscience, or a related topic or dedicated vocational training (e.g. medical/psychological technical assistant). Strong organisational and communication skills, and an excellent command of the English and German language are essential. Experience with clinical populations (particularly autism spectrum disorder, developmental dyslexia) and/or research experience in experimental psychology or related disciplines would be advantageous. The position is initially for one year, with the possibility of an extension, and it is on a part-time (20 hours/week) basis. The ideal starting date is 15.10.2017. A later start is also possible. Remuneration is based on the payscale of the Max Planck Society. The Max Planck society is committed to increasing the number of individuals with disabilities in its workforce and therefore encourages applications from such qualified individuals. Please submit your application via our online system at http://www.cbs.mpg.de/vacancies (using subject heading “LM 17/17”) and include the following documents: • Personal statement (up to one page) • Curriculum vitae • Contact details of two referees • Certificates of academic qualifications Closing date for applications is the 10th September 2017. Contact for informal enquiries regarding the post: Prof. Dr. Katharina von Kriegstein (kriegstein at cbs.mpg.de).

Each subject is attempting to spoof a target identity. Hence we provide three sets of face images: images of a subject before makeup; images of the same subject after makeup with the intention of spoofing; and images of the target subject who is being spoofed.
