Post-doc in face identification
by David White 20 Apr '19

20 Apr '19

JOB ADVERT: CLOSING DATE 3 MAY Applications are invited for a post-doctoral Research Associate position at UNSW Sydney to work on an Australian Research Council funded project with Dr David White (UNSW Sydney) and Dr Sebastien Miellet (University of Wollongong). Super-recognisers are people that consistently attain the highest levels of accuracy in challenging face identification tasks, but the basis of their ability is not clear. This project aims to develop theoretical understanding of perceptual processing and information sampling that gives rise to this skill. Eye-tracking methods will be used to pinpoint the visual information used by superior face identifiers, and capture qualitative differences in their visual processing. For more details and to apply online please see: http://external-careers.jobs.unsw.edu.au/cw/en/job/496566/research-associate <http://external-careers.jobs.unsw.edu.au/cw/en/job/496566/research-associate> Informal queries should be directed to david.white(a)unsw.edu.au <mailto:david.white@unsw.edu.au>

Fully funded PhD position in computational modelling of top-down effects in face perception
by Daniel Gill 16 Apr '19

16 Apr '19

A fully funded PhD Studentship (stipend + fees) opportunity at the University of Winchester, UK The position is open to both UK/EU and international students*. Applications are invited for a 3-year fully funded inter-disciplinary PhD position under the supervision of Dr. Daniel Gill and Prof. Paul Sowden from the Department of Psychology, and Dr. Claire Ancient from the Department of Digital Futures. Our team is seeking a talented, enthusiastic, knowledgeable and highly motivated PhD student to take part in an exciting study that combines computational methods, clinical and behavioural and research techniques to study the effect of mental state on face perception. Research implies that the process of attending to emotionally expressive faces is susceptible to mood and mental state. The current project will investigate the explicit modifications of facial mental representations induced by mental states, in particular in depression and anxiety. The project will involve psychophysical and computational tools. The successful applicant will contribute to performing recordings with patients in collaborating clinics and the analysis of the data. They should have very good quantitative and computational skills and a strong background or interest in neuroscience and/or psychology. Requirements - A track record of high academic achievement, demonstrated by a first class or high upper second undergraduate honours degree and/or a master’s degree (or equivalent) in Neuroscience, Computer Science, Electric or Biomedical Engineering, Psychology, Statistics or related disciplines. - Two academic references. - The ability to work independently, with the support of a supervisory team, and the enthusiasm to contribute to a vibrant and stimulating research environment are essential. - Programming skills (e.g., Matlab, orPython etc). - Familiarity with machine learning and image processing techniques. - Fluency in English Prior to the submission of the formal application, prospective students are encouraged to contact Dr. Gill (daniel.gill(a)winchester.ac.uk) or Dr. Claire Ancient (Claire.encient(a)winchester.ac.uk) or Prof. Sowden (paul.sowden(a)winchester.ac.uk) by email no later than May 10th, 2017 for further instructions and informal enquiries (This is optional; applications can be submitted directly to the link in the Application Process section). The University of Winchester in located at the stunning city of Winchester, one of the most beautiful cities in the UK. Winchester is less than an hour by train to London Waterloo train station.

Postdoc Position in Face Perception Available
by BURNS E. (597993) 26 Mar '19

26 Mar '19

Hi everyone, my boss Cindy Bukach has a postdoc position available in her lab. See the job details below. Richmond is a wonderful place to live and work. The University of Richmond has an opening for a postdoctoral fellowship in cognitive neuroscience starting in July 2019. The fellowship is designed to enhance candidate's scholarship and provide teaching experience for a career in academia. The candidate will work collaboratively with Dr. Cindy Bukach investigating how category specific effects (in particular face perception and other-race effects) emerge, generalize, and transform with changes in experience and context, using both behavioral and ERP techniques. Applicants should hold a PhD in a related field (e.g., psychology, cognitive science, neuroscience) and have extensive experience with EEG including experiment design, programming, data collection, and statistical analysis. Proven skills in scholarly writing will be an advantage, as will be a background in face/object recognition or social neuroscience and/or programming skills. Finally, the candidate is expected to have good social skills, the ability to work in a team, and commitment to mentoring undergraduates. The successful candidate will work collaboratively and independently on research with Dr. Cindy Bukach and her students, and will teach two units per academic year. The University of Richmond is a private university located just a short drive from downtown Richmond, Virginia. Through its five schools and wide array of campus programming, the University combines the best qualities of a small liberal arts college and a large university. With nearly 4,000 students, an 8:1 student-faculty ratio, and 92% of traditional undergraduate students living on campus, the University is remarkably student-centered, focused on preparing students “to live lives of purpose, thoughtful inquiry, and responsible leadership in a global and pluralistic society.” The University of Richmond is committed to developing a diverse workforce and student body, and to modeling an inclusive campus community which values the expression of difference in ways that promote excellence in teaching, learning, personal development, and institutional success. Our academic community strongly encourages applications that are in keeping with this commitment. For more information on the department and its programs, please see psychology.richmond.edu<http://psychology.richmond.edu/>. Applicants should apply online at http://jobs.richmond.edu<http://jobs.richmond.edu/> using the Faculty (Adjunct/Visitor) link to Trawick Postdoctoral Fellow – 000669. Applicants will be asked to submit a curriculum vitae, a research statement, and names of two references who will receive an automated email asking them to submit their reference letter to this web site. Review of applications will begin immediately and continue until the position is filled. Send inquiries to Cindy Bukach atcbukach(a)richmond.edu<mailto:cbukach@richmond.edu>

artifacts in psychomorph
by Rachel Robbins 13 Mar '19

13 Mar '19

Hi everyone, I'm currently caricaturing celebrity faces in psychomorph. I'm finding that several of the celebrity faces have lower than average eyebrows and or eyelid folds, which is causing artifacts around the eyes. Elinor's suggestion of adding more points in those locations doesn't seem to be helping! Does any one have any suggestions? Thanks! Rachel -- “It is not our differences that divide us. It is our inability to recognize, accept, and celebrate those differences.” - Audre Lorde
