Fully funded ESRC PhD studentship, School of Psychology University of Birmingham

Determining how UK policing should construct identification parades: Using diagnostic-feature-detection theory to maximise eyewitness identification accuracy

Dr Melissa Colloff is delighted to announce a fully funded collaborative ESRC PhD studentship with The National VIPER Bureau, (Dr Colloff as primary supervisor, and Dr Heather Flowe as secondary supervisor).

The project is about lineup member similarity in police identification parades. The project will involve conducting cognitive/memory experiments on face similarity and modelling data, along with collecting and analysing real-world ID outcomes from police forces, and working closely with VIPER in West Yorkshire Police.

The closing date is 6th March.
