Postdoctoral and PhD positions in the field of facial recognition
The 'recognition and categorization group' in the department of 'Human
Perception, Cognition and Action' of the Max Planck Institute for Biological
Cybernetics in Tübingen, Germany invites applications for a Postdoc (2 years) or a PhD
position (3 years) in the field of human face recognition. We are looking for suitable

The position can be filled immediately or later and is funded for a period of 3 years for
PhD students according to German Public service regulations, and 2 years for postdoc. The
Max Planck Society is committed to Equal Opportunities.
