POSTDOCTORAL FELLOWSHIP
Area: Face Perception
A postdoctoral fellowship is available in the Infant and Child
Development Lab at Brock University to investigate face perception in
participants between 3 and 80 years of age, under the supervision of
Cathy Mondloch, PhD. Applicants must have completed a Ph.D. in
perceptual/developmental psychology by the start date, have strong
training in face perception, and a willingness to develop expertise
with a range of new technologies. Funding is available for three years
through an NSERC Discovery Accelerator Supplement Award given to Cathy
Mondloch.
The Infant and Child Development Lab is part of the Lifespan
Development Center and the Center for Neuroscience at Brock
University. Members of the lab investigate the development of expert
face processing and the role of experience in driving that
development. A recent grant from the Canada Foundation for Innovation
provided funding for several pieces of cutting-edge technology (a 3D
camera, a 4D camera, two eye-trackers, Noldus Observer). The
postdoctoral fellow will assume responsibility for integrating this
technology into our research program, design and conduct new studies
and join on-going projects. The successful applicant will be part of a
collaborative team of postdocs, graduate students, undergraduate
students and research assistants, with opportunities for interactions
with a broad array of research teams in psychology, the Centre for
Neuroscience, and the Lifespan Centre.
Start Date: Winter/Spring 2012
Please submit a CV, cover letter with a statement of interest and
research experience, and names and contact information of 3 referees
to: Cathy Mondloch, Department of Psychology, Brock University, 500
Glenridge Avenue, St. Catharines, Ontario, Canada, L2S 3A1.

Hi everyone,
There is an opportunity to apply for a 4 year research fellowship in
my lab. It's through a government scheme called Future Fellowships
(information at http://www.arc.gov.au/ncgp/futurefel/
future_default.htm), which is open to everyone between 5 and 15 years
out of PhD regardless of nationality. The applications are due in
November. Funding includes salary, plus $50k per year in research
costs. Note the Australian dollar currently equals .98 US$, and .73
Euro. To be competitive, applicants will need a good track record of
publications (e.g., I would guess a minimum of 12 papers in the last 5
years, 2007-2011/inpress; and generally in good journals).
If you are interested, please contact me ASAP. See my website below
for information on the lab.
There is also a related fellowship program for early career
researchers (0 to 5 years out from PhD), for which applications are
likely to be due somewhere between Feb and May next year (2012). See: http://www.arc.gov.au/ncgp/decra.htm
Please feel free to forward this email to others.

Dear Colleagues,
I am wondering if there is anywhere on the internet a freely accessible tool with which one could create a "face-space" a-la Leopold et al, (2001), e.g. as a Matlab toolbox or any other way.
What i would need is something into which i can put a given number of faces and it creates the space with its anti-face versions etc.
Thanks in advance for any information.
