Dear list: A 3-year research assistant/research associate position is available to work with Dr Quoc Vuong (Newcastle University, UK) and Dr Bruno Rossion (University of Louvain, Belgium) on an ESRC funded project entitled: A neuropsychological approach to dissect face perception and perceptual expertise.

The successful candidate will train and test individuals with acquired prosopagnosia, scan healthy control participants, analyze the data, and publish the results.

The candidate will also be expected to present at conferences and participate in public engagement activities.
