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<http://www.melissacolloff.com> is delighted to announce a fully funded collaborative ESRC PhD studentship with The National VIPER Bureau<http://www.viper.police.uk/>, (Dr Colloff<https://www.birmingham.ac.uk/staff/profiles/psychology/colloff-melissa.aspx> as primary supervisor, and Dr Heather Flowe <https://www.birmingham.ac.uk/staff/profiles/psychology/Heather-D.-Flowe.aspx> 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. More details here: Project: https://warwick.ac.uk/fac/cross_fac/mgsdtp/collaborativeandjoint/colloff_bir...
