A postdoctoral position is available in the Gettysburg College Perception Laboratory
(
http://public.gettysburg.edu/~rrussell/laboratory.html).
We perform basic research investigating human face perception, with a focus on how age,
sex, health, and beauty are perceived from the face. We are also interested in
understanding the use of cosmetics and other systems for artificially manipulating facial
appearance. Methods include traditional experimental psychology approaches as well as
anthropometry and image analysis.
The postdoctoral associate will work closely with the laboratory director, Richard
Russell, as part of a collaboration with researchers at the Centre de Recherches et
d'Investigations Épidermiques et Sensorielles (CE.R.I.E.S.) in Paris, France.
Gettysburg College is a highly selective small liberal arts college, and its Department of
Psychology has a strong empirical research tradition. Gettysburg is a picturesque and
historic small town with a low cost of living that is 75 minutes from Baltimore and 90
minutes from Washington, DC.
The successful candidate will have completed or be close to completing a PhD in
Psychology, Neuroscience, Cognitive Science, Computer Science, Biology, or a related
discipline. The start date is negotiable. The position will initially run until November
1, 2016, with the possibility of renewal for additional one year periods, given
satisfactory performance. The annual salary follows the NIH NRSA postdoctoral salary
scale, and comes with a competitive package of benefits.
Applicants should send a cover letter with a brief research statement, a CV, and names and
email addresses of three references to Richard Russell
rrussell@gettysburg.edu<mailto:rrussell@gettysburg.edu>. You are also encouraged to
email Richard directly with any questions about the position.
