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 such as
psychophysics, as well as anthropometry and image analysis.
The postdoctoral associate will work closely with Dr. Richard Russell in the Psychology
Department, and will collaborate with 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. Start date is negotiable. The position is for one year with the possibility
of renewal for subsequent years. The annual salary is $40,000 and comes with a
competitive package of benefits. Inquiries should be sent to Richard Russell
