Dear colleagues,
The Board of Directors of the International Society for Research on Emotion (ISRE) has opened nominations for new Editor(s)-in-Chief for the Society’s journal, Emotion Review. Emotion Review is a quarterly journal that publishes conceptual and theoretical articles about emotion (broadly defined, and approached from any academic discipline). The journal is influential and widely cited, with a 2020 Impact Factor of 6.469. The publisher provides a modest stipend so that editors can pay for administrative assistance.
The journal often has two editors, and the multidisciplinary nature of the journal would make it desirable for them to represent different academic disciplines. The Editors-in-Chief normally serve a term of five years, but a minimum commitment of three years will be sufficient. Candidates should be members of ISRE and should be available to begin receiving manuscripts early in 2023. Self-nominations are welcome. Nominations of a pair of candidates who would serve as Co-Editors-in-Chief would be welcomed, especially if the nominees represent different disciplines or areas of expertise.
Nominations or expressions of interest should be sent by email to ISRE’s President Ursula Hess at Ursula.Hess(a)hu-berlin.de<mailto:Ursula.Hess@hu-berlin.de>.
Sincerely yours,
ISRE board members

Dear All,
I would appreciate it if you`d propagate the following opportunity among
prospective students.
The Institute of Psychology at the University of Pecs, Hungary, has started
a PhD program for international students. During the program, among other
possibilities, students can join research that aims to extend our knowledge
about the cognitive and neural background of face perception. We`re
particularly interested in how semantic knowledge about a person interacts
with affective processes during recognition. The students will have access
to the following equipment in our lab:
- device for accurate reaction time measurements (cedrus)
- eye-tracker (Toobi TX300)
- physiological measurements (BIOPAC modules: EDA, heart rate, respiration
rate, EMG etc)
- EEG (brain products, 64 channel)
- noldus observer
Please note that there is a tuition fee (3500 euros per semester in the
first and second year, and 2500 euros per semester in the third and fourth
year).
The deadline for the application program 31.01.2022 (which might be
potentially extended, but it would be better to contact me before this).

Dear All,
Please find below the invitation to contribute to the 3rd Workshop and Competition on Affective Behavior Analysis in-the-wild (ABAW) to be held in conjunction with the IEEE International Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition (CVPR), 2022.
(1): The Competition is split into four Challenges, which are based on Aff-Wild2 database (or a static version of it), which is the first comprehensive benchmark annotated for different affective tasks (dimensional and categorical ones). The four Challenges are:
* Valence-Arousal Estimation Challenge
* Expression Classification Challenge
* Action Unit Detection Challenge
* Multi-Task-Learning Challenge
Aff-Wild2 is an audiovisual in-the-wild database of 564 videos of around 2.8M frames.
Participants are invited to participate in at least one of these Challenges.
There will be one winner per Challenge; the top-3 performing teams of each Challenge will have to contribute paper(s) describing their approach, methodology and results to our Workshop; the accepted papers will be part of the CVPR 2022 proceedings; all other teams are also encouraged to submit paper(s) describing their solutions and final results; the accepted papers will be part of the CVPR 2022 proceedings.
More information about the Competition can be found here<https://ibug.doc.ic.ac.uk/resources/cvpr-2022-3rd-abaw/>.
Important Dates:
* Call for participation announced, team registration begins, data available:

(2): The Workshop solicits contributions on the recent progress of recognition, analysis, generation and modelling of face, body, and gesture, while embracing the most advanced systems available for face and gesture analysis, particularly, in-the-wild (i.e., in unconstrained environments) and across modalities like face to voice. In parallel, this Workshop will solicit contributions towards building fair models that perform well on all subgroups and improve in-the-wild generalisation.
Original high-quality contributions, including:
- databases or
- surveys and comparative studies or
- Artificial Intelligence / Machine Learning / Deep Learning / AutoML / (Data-driven or physics-based) Generative
Modelling Methodologies (either Uni-Modal or Multi-Modal; Uni-Task or Multi-Task ones)
are solicited on the following topics:
i) "in-the-wild" facial expression or micro-expression analysis,
ii) "in-the-wild" facial action unit detection,
iii) "in-the-wild" valence-arousal estimation,
iv) "in-the-wild" physiological-based (e.g.,EEG, EDA) affect analysis,
v) domain adaptation for affect recognition in the previous 4 cases
vi) "in-the-wild" face recognition, detection or tracking,
vii) "in-the-wild" body recognition, detection or tracking,
viii) "in-the-wild" gesture recognition or detection,
ix) "in-the-wild" pose estimation or tracking,
x) "in-the-wild" activity recognition or tracking,
xi) "in-the-wild" lip reading and voice understanding,
xii) "in-the-wild" face and body characterization (e.g., behavioral understanding),
xiii) "in-the-wild" characteristic analysis (e.g., gait, age, gender, ethnicity recognition),
xiv) "in-the-wild" group understanding via social cues (e.g., kinship, non-blood relationships, personality)
xv) subgroup distribution shift analysis in affect recognition
xvi) subgroup distribution shift analysis in face and body behaviour
xvii) subgroup distribution shift analysis in characteristic analysis
Accepted workshop papers will appear at CVPR 2022 proceedings.
