Applications are invited for two postdoctoral research posts for an EPSRC project on “Analysing Dynamic Change in Faces” with Prof Alan Johnston and Prof Celia Heyes (Experimental Psychology, UCL) and one with Prof Peter McOwan (Computer Science, QMUL).

The researcher at UCL (Post 1) will join Prof Johnston’s lab and will be an experimental psychologist with excellent technical and computing skills. The researcher at QMUL (Post 2) will be a computer scientist with experience in video-based computer vision or dynamic 3D shape acquisition. The third postdoctoral Associate (Post3) will join a BBSRC funded project on “From Local to Global Motion Perception”. Candidates for this post should be psychophysicists with an interest in computational modelling. For posts 1 and 3 the salary will be at grade 7 (£27,466-£29138 + £2649 from 01/05/08) depending on knowledge and experience.
