Dear all - could I ask you to bring this studentship to the attention of likely
candidates?
Thanks in advance,

University of Aberdeen
School of Psychology
PhD studentship in Computational Aspects of Face Recognition
Applications are invited for a PhD studentship starting in October 2013, to work with
Professor Mike Burton. Candidates should hold a First or Upper Second class degree in
Psychology, Computing Science, or a related subject. The studentship is funded by the
European Research Council, and funding will cover UK/EU fees and a stipend at research
council rates.
To apply, please send a CV and letter of application to Joanne Brebner, at the School of
Psychology, University of Aberdeen, (j.brebner(a)abdn.ac.uk). Informal enquiries prior to
application may be made to Mike Burton: m.burton(a)abdn.ac.uk or 01224 273930. The closing
date is 9 August, 2013.
Further Information: This studentship is part of a large-scale project on face
recognition. We will be studying the way in which faces become familiar, specifically by
examining the variance among different images of the same face. The student will focus on
computational modelling of the statistical properties of face images, and will work within
a team employing both simulation and experimental methods. Programming experience is
essential, and some experience in image processing would be an advantage.
