Madeleine McCann facial composite appeal

by Peter Hancock

Dear Colleagues, please forgive a post which is not directly about research. The police in Britain have issued two facial composites of a man in the Madeleine McCann abduction case. However, they have not taken advantage of our research indicating a) that an average image of two composites of the same target may help and b) an animated caricature can also help identification. I've created average and animated caricature composites; please share this link in any way you can; the police need names. I confess I don't know how to contact them from outside the UK but hopefully people with information will find a way. Here's the link, with refs to the original research: http://psych-survey.stir.ac.uk/McCannComposites.html Thanks, Peter Peter Hancock Professor Psychology, School of Natural Sciences University of Stirling FK9 4LA, UK phone 01786 467675 fax 01786 467641 http://www.psychology.stir.ac.uk/staff/phancock -- The University of Stirling has been ranked in the top 12 of UK universities for graduate employment*. 94% of our 2012 graduates were in work and/or further study within six months of graduation. *The Telegraph The University of Stirling is a charity registered in Scotland, number SC 011159.

PhD Studentship at UNSW, Sydney

by David White

Hi all - we would greatly appreciate if you might forward this advert to promising students. Kind regards, David PhD studentship available: Unfamiliar face matching in passport application screening Applications are invited to undertake a PhD with Dr. Richard Kemp and Dr. David White, School of Psychology, The University of New South Wales, Sydney, Australia. Applicants should have or expect to receive a first class Honours degree in Psychology or a cognate discipline. The studentship is funded as part of an ARC Linkage project in collaboration with the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (Australia Passports). We are looking to offer either a 3 year PhD scholarship or additional top-up funding for students who have been awarded an Australian Postgraduate Award. We anticipate the student would start their PhD in early 2014. The aim of the Linkage Project is to improve the ability to detect identity fraud in the passport issuance process by developing training and individual difference tests for users of face recognition software. It is anticipated that the PhD student will investigate theoretical aspects of unfamiliar face matching which will inform more applied aspects of the project. There may be some opportunities for the student to undertake some more applied work, and also to compare human and computer performance on face matching tasks. Possible topics include (but are not limited to) individual differences in face processing ability, correlates of face-matching expertise, and cognitive markers of familiarity. Candidates should forward their CV and academic transcript to Dr. Richard Kemp or Dr David White. If you would like more background information please do not hesitate to contact us.
