Research involves typically developed populations as well as populations with developmental communication deficits (developmental dyslexia, autism spectrum disorder, phonagnosia, proposagnosia). Research Assistant: http://www.mpg.de/10451891/research-assistant-lab-manager The position will involve recruiting participants, running behavioural tests, assistance with data-acquisition in MRI, TMS and tDCS studies, assistance with data analyses, grant writing and literature searches, attending lab meetings, supervising undergraduate students in the lab and overseeing day-to-day lab operations. The position is available part or full time. It includes the opportunity to pursue a variety of research opportunities that can result in authorship on academic publications. Psychologist: http://www.mpg.de/10451838/20161504-1 (in German) The position is available part time. The main duty will be to support diagnostic testing in people with communication disorders (e.g. autism spectrum disorder, dyslexia, developmental prosopagnosia).

Research post in face recognition at Stirling

by Peter Hancock

I have a vacancy for a postdoc at Stirling to work on human face recognition. It's part of a 5 year EPSRC-funded project to improve the state of the art in computer face recognition, so we shall be working closely with computer scientists at the University of Surrey and Imperial College. This post is for an initial two years, with the possibility of extension. The research questions will include: * What are the effects of viewpoint, lighting and sensor noise on human familiar face recognition? * How much experience, what range of imagery, does it take to shift humans from unfamiliar face matching to familiar face recognition? * How useful to human observers are the image normalisation techniques developed for the computer recognition systems? * In general, therefore, how do human and computer abilities compare across the range of issues being tackled in this project? * How do humans achieve what they do? Further details here: http://www.stir.ac.uk/about/jobs/details/index.html?id=QUUFK026203F3VBQB7V7… Closing date is 22 Feb. There will be a second post on offer later this year. I shall also shortly be advertising a PhD studentship, aimed at modelling human face recognition. Feel free to contact me with queries.

Question for users

by Tom

Dear all I am starting a project for my MSc in which I would like to create a new set of stimuli of facial expressions of emotion using exclusively adolescent actors for use in an emotional go/nogo task and psychology research more generally. Does anyone know if a set of stimuli using strictly adolescent actors already exists? Thanks Tom Chatwin UCL Institute of Education
