FYI: Please find below a call for applications for an external PhD opportunity: We are currently advertising a fully funded PhD position (3 years, fully funded by the Leverhulme Trust) at Nottingham Trent University within the department of Psychology. In this PhD, the student will generate new data to measure the facial behaviour of two species of semi-free ranging macaques (Tonkean and rhesus) and subsequently quantify their expressivity. The project will assess the link between an individual’s facial expressivity (measured through ethological techniques) and the accuracy of their social knowledge (measured through cognitive testing). Using a secondary MRI dataset of the study subjects, and potentially incorporating new MRI, the student will also attempt to quantify the facial musculature of living primates and directly compare underlying anatomy with expressive behaviour. The project will include an approximately 10-month visit to the Centre for Primatology (SILABE, University of Strasbourg) for the collection of behavioural and cognitive data. All field costs will be covered by the project. You will be supported by interdisciplinary team: Jamie Whitehouse (Nottingham Trent University), Sébastien Ballesta (University of Strasbourg) and Bridget Waller (Nottingham Trent University).
