PhD scholarships in emotional expression processing (Ottmar Lipp, Curtin University, Australia)

by Ottmar Lipp

Good afternoon - I would be grateful if the following could be posted: PhD scholarships in emotional expression processing (Ottmar Lipp, Curtin University, Australia) Up to 2 PhD scholarships are available for research on topics related to an ARC funded project entitled 'The emotional face: Effects on orienting, visual search, and categorization'. Using a range of converging methodologies drawn from neuroscience, social, and cognitive psychology, the project will advance our understanding of the processing of the expressions of two central social emotions, happiness and anger, by delineating the conditions that support or limit emotional expression processing in the general population. This research will provide an invaluable knowledge base for subsequent applied research into deficits of emotional expression processing such as occur in autism, anxiety, or old age. The successful applicants will be based in the Emotion, Learning, and Psychophysiology Laboratory led by Professor Ottmar Lipp and located in the School of Psychology and Speech Pathology, Curtin University, Perth, WA, Australia. The laboratory facilities enable research using psychophysiological (EEG, EMG, autonomic nervous system) and behavioural (eye movements, response time) methodologies. Applicants with experience using these methodologies are encouraged to apply. The successful candidate(s) will receive a stipend of AUS$25,849 per annum which will be indexed for the duration of the award. This scholarship will be for three years with a possible maximum extension of up to six months. If the successful candidate is an international student, the scholarship will cover the tuition fees for the duration of the award. The successful candidate is expected to commence in early 2015. Eligibility Criteria: Essential: First class honours (or equivalent) in Psychology; Experience in experimental and quantitative methodology; Strong verbal and written communication skills; High level of motivation and ability to work in teams. Desirable: Experience with psychophysiological methodologies (EEG, ERP, facial EMG) or eye tracking Experience in experimental programming Submit expressions of interest with a statement addressing the eligibility criteria, a full CV, and contact details of two referees to Professor Ottmar Lipp School of Psychology and Speech Pathology Curtin University Email: ottmar.lipp(a)curtin.edu.au For more information on research conducted in the Emotion, Learning, and Psychophysiology Laboratory see: http://healthsciences.curtin.edu.au/teaching/psych_people.cfm/Ottmar.Lipp Professor Ottmar V.

Postdoctoral positions on face and object recognition

by Olivia Cheung

*Postdoctoral positions on face and object recognition* Two postdoctoral research positions are open at the Objects and Knowledge Laboratory, headed by Dr. Olivia Cheung, at New York University Abu Dhabi. The postdoctoral researchers will carry out behavioral and fMRI experiments on human object/face/letter recognition. Potential research projects include, but are not limited to, investigations of the influences of experience and conceptual knowledge on recognition processes. Applicants must have a Ph.D. in Psychology, Cognitive Neuroscience, or a related field, and should possess strong programming skills (e.g., Matlab). Prior experience with neuroimaging or psychophysical techniques is preferred. Initial appointments are for up to two years with the opportunity of renewal for additional years. Starting date is flexible, preferably during early 2015. The Objects and Knowledge Laboratory is part of the rapidly growing Psychology division at New York University Abu Dhabi. The lab is located in the new campus on Saadiyat Island (Abu Dhabi’s cultural hub), and has access to the state-of-the-art neuroimaging facilities (including MRI, MEG, and TMS). Apart from a generous salary, the postdoctoral researchers will receive housing and other benefits. More information about living in Abu Dhabi can be found here: http://nyuad.nyu.edu/en/campus-life/residential-education-and-housing/livin… Interested individuals should email a curriculum vita, a brief statement of research interests, the expected date of availability, and contact information of two referees to Olivia Cheung (olivia.cheung(a)nyu.edu).

NimStim faces database

by nuala brady

I am looking to download the most excellent NimStim faces database but having no joy at the main website (http://www.macbrain.org/resources.htm) where I am getting a return to sender message when I email for instructions to download. If anyone involved with the database happens to be reading, perhaps you can let us know whether these faces are still available. We are looking for faces with various emotional expressions plus neutral posed by same models so they can be morphed Many thanks in advance Nuala -- Dr Nuala Brady School of Psychology University College Dublin

The lab is headed by Dr. Assaf Harel and investigates high-level vision and its neural substrates. We are particularly interested in how visual recognition occurs in real-world settings and adopt a neuroergonomic approach to study the applied aspects of high-level vision. For this purpose, we employ a diversity of cognitive neuroscience methods, including fMRI, EEG, psychophysics, and eye tracking. Research topics include, but are not limited to the following areas: visual expertise, object and scene recognition, categorization and perceptual learning. The position is fully funded for two years. The successful candidate will hold a PhD in Cognitive Neuroscience, Cognitive Psychology, Neurobiology, Computer Science, or any other related discipline by the start date of the position. Strong background and familiarity with fMRI or EEG research is required. Experience in computer programming, especially with Matlab is highly encouraged and will be considered a strong advantage. Applicants should send their CV, a short statement of their research interests and contact information for two references to Dr. Assaf Harel at: assaf.harel(a)wright.edu The Department of Psychology is housed in the College of Science and Mathematics, offers a Ph.D. in Human Factors and Industrial/ Organizational Psychology, and has 3 undergraduate concentration areas: (1) Cognition and Perception, (2) Industrial/ Organizational, and (3) Behavioral Neuroscience. Wright State University was recently ranked among the “Best in the Midwest” universities by The Princeton Review, listed among 260 Best National Universities in the annual “America’s Best Colleges” rankings by U.S. News and World Report, and ranked fourth nationally among universities with limited numbers of doctoral programs in the Faculty Scholarly Productivity Index.
