Dear all, There is new study out for Android and iOS from the Institute of Neurology at University College London that seeks to determine if seeing smiling faces can make you happier. It is based on facial mimicry and we are comparing the effect of seeing smiling faces to landscapes and need many people to participate to see if this could become an effective complementary drug free intervention to battle low mood.

Bangor lecturer position
by Robert Ward 17 Oct '16

17 Oct '16

The School of Psychology at Bangor has an opening at lecturer level with an emphasis on consumer psychology and/or commercialisation. Although the research specialism is open, given the wide applications of face research in these contexts (e.g., in face recognition and in social attributions) I thought it was worth mentioning here. This kind of position might be especially appropriate for someone wanting to combine the basic and applied value of their work.
