Three Postdoctoral Research Associates (UCL and QMUL)

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 project will 
develop new tools for photorealistic facial animation, which will be 
exploited to study the perception of dynamic events through 
psychophysical experiments on facial movement recognition and imitation. 
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 s alary will be at grade 
7 (£27,466-£29138 + £2649 from 01/05/08) depending on knowledge and 
experience. For post 2, the salary will be in the range of £30,968 ?
