Postdoctoral position in face perception

by Richard Russell

A postdoctoral position is available in the Gettysburg College Perception Laboratory (http://public.gettysburg.edu/~rrussell/laboratory.html). We perform basic research investigating human face perception, with a focus on how age, sex, health, and beauty are perceived from the face. We are also interested in understanding the use of cosmetics and other systems for artificially manipulating facial appearance. Methods include traditional experimental psychology approaches as well as anthropometry and image analysis. The postdoctoral associate will work closely with the laboratory director, Richard Russell, as part of a collaboration with researchers at the Centre de Recherches et d'Investigations Épidermiques et Sensorielles (CE.R.I.E.S.) in Paris, France. Gettysburg College is a highly selective small liberal arts college, and its Department of Psychology has a strong empirical research tradition.

Public lecture: Vicki Bruce on Face Fallacies, 1st October

by Peter Hancock

Apologies to those living outside Scotland, but you are invited to our annual John Damien lecture, this year given by Professor Vicki Bruce on 'Face Fallacies': In this lecture I will describe popular misconceptions about memory for faces, and the identification of face images in passport or CCTV images, and consider their implications in legal and security settings. I will describe how research by psychologists, much of it conducted in Stirling and other universities in Scotland, has helped improve the systems used to question witnesses and guide the courts. Nevertheless, miscarriages of justice based upon misidentification remain a cause for concern. The event will take place on Thursday 01 October 2015 in the Logie Lecture Theatre at the University of Stirling, at 6:30 pm. The lecture will be accompanied by a workshop on the same day, 1st October -if you are interested in attending please get in touch with me.

database of East Asian and/or Caucasian faces with natural gaze deviations?

by Kate Crookes

Hi All, We are hoping to find a source of face photographs with natural gaze deviations (i.e. where the models moved their eyes rather than having irises photoshopped). We need direct gaze and deviations from subtly averted (e.g., 2 degrees from direct) to obviously averted (e.g., 6 degrees from direct). We need both East Asian (preferably Chinese) and Caucasian faces ideally from the same database but we are open to getting them from different databases. Not asking for much are we ;-) If anybody knows of any databases that we can access we would love to hear from you. Thanks, Kate -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Kate Crookes, PhD Rm 113 Ph: (08) 64883240 ARC Centre of Excellence in Cognition and its Disorders School of Psychology (M304), University of Western Australia, Crawley, WA 6009, Australia. http://www.ccd.edu.au Follow the CCD Person Perception node on twitter https://twitter.com/PersonPercept or like us on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/CCDPersonPerception

Besides an excellent infrastructure, our institute offers an international and friendly environment with researchers from diverse backgrounds. The postdoc will be member of the group "Neural Mechanisms of Human Communication" led by Katharina von Kriegstein. The candidates must have a PhD (or equivalent) in neuroscience, experimental psychology, biology, or a related field, and should be able to demonstrate a consistently outstanding academic record, including publications. The ideal candidate will have expertise in neurostimulation techniques such as transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) and/or transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS). Additional prior experience with MEG/EEG or functional MRI is desirable. The starting date for this position is flexible. Initially for two years, the position offers the possibility of extension for up to three years. Salary depends on experience and is based on regulations of the Max Planck Society. To apply, please include all documents in one PDF-file in the following order: CV, contact information of two referees, a brief statement describing your personal qualifications and future research interests, copies of up to three of your publications.
