Postdoctoral position at NYU Abu Dhabi (High-level vision)

by Olivia Cheung

A postdoctoral researcher position is available immediately at the Objects and Knowledge Laboratory, headed by Dr. Olivia Cheung, at NYU Abu Dhabi ( http://www.oliviacheunglab.org/). The postdoctoral researcher will carry out experiments on high-level vision (object/face/letter/scene recognition) in humans using behavioral, fMRI, and computational methods. Potential research projects include, but are not limited to, investigations of the influences of experience and conceptual knowledge on visual recognition. Applicants must have a Ph.D. in Psychology, Cognitive Neuroscience, Cognitive Science, or a related field, and should possess strong programming skills (e.g., R, Matlab, Python). Prior experience with neuroimaging, computational, or psychophysical techniques is highly preferred. Initial appointment is for two years, with the possibility of renewal. Starting date is flexible, preferably by summer/early fall 2021. The Objects and Knowledge Laboratory is part of the rapidly growing Psychology department at NYU Abu Dhabi. The lab has access to the state-of-the-art neuroimaging and behavioral facilities (including MRI, MEG, eyetracking). The terms of employment are very competitive, including relocation and housing costs, and other benefits among which educational subsidies for children. Informal inquiries regarding the position, university, or area, are encouraged. To apply, individuals should email a curriculum vita, cover letter, statement of research interests, the expected date of availability, and contact information of two referees. All correspondence should be sent to Olivia Cheung (olivia.cheung(a)nyu.edu). The NYU Abu Dhabi campus is located on Saadiyat Island (Abu Dhabi’s cultural hub), minutes away from the white sand beaches as well as the world class entertainment, big city and nature activities that have made the area one of the top ten tourist destinations in the world.

Fully funded 3-year PhD studentship on Cross-Race Recognition

by Mansour, Jamal

Hello colleagues, I am recruiting a student for a fully funded, 3-year PhD studentship at Queen Margaret University, in collaboration with Edinburgh Napier University. The studentship will be supervised by me (Dr Jamal Mansour) at Queen Margaret University as well as Dr Alex McIntyre and Dr Faye Skelton of Edinburgh Napier University. The project is entitled "Reducing cross-race identification errors via the creation of a cross-race recognition training tool and a diagnostic test of cross-race recognition ability". For more information about the project, please see here: https://www.qmu.ac.uk/ad/napier-collaborative-phds. Potential applicants are encouraged to contact me via email (jmansour(a)qmu.ac.uk) to discuss the project. Applications are due by Wednesday, June 16, 2021 and should be submitted to the Queen Margaret University Graduate School. Details of how to apply can be found here: https://www.qmu.ac.uk/study-here/how-to-apply/phd-and-professional-doctorat…. Could I ask you to please do circulate this opportunity via your relevant networks and share it with any potential candidates?

Re: [Face-research-list] (CfP) ICCV 2021 Workshop and Competition: ABAW2

by Dimitrios Kollias

Dear All, Please find below the invitation to contribute to the 2nd Workshop and Competition on Affective Behavior Analysis in-the-wild (ABAW) to be held in conjunction with the International Conference on Computer Vision (ICCV) 2021. (1): The Competition is split into three Challenges-Tracks, which are based on the same database, Aff-Wild2, which is the first comprehensive benchmark for the three affect recognition tasks in-the-wild: * dimensional affect recognition (valence and arousal estimation) * categorical affect classification (seven basic expression classification) * facial action unit detection Aff-Wild2 is an audiovisual in-the-wild database of 564 videos of around 2.8M frames. Participants are invited to participate in one or more of these Challenges. There will be one winner per Challenge-Track; the winners are expected to contribute a paper describing their approach, methodology and results; the accepted winning papers will be part of the ICCV 2021 proceedings; all other teams are also able to submit a paper describing their solutions and final results; the accepted papers will be part of the ICCV 2021 proceedings. For more information about the challenge, see here<https://ibug.doc.ic.ac.uk/resources/iccv-2021-2nd-abaw/>.
