Applications are invited for a fully funded PhD studentship in the Department of Cognitive, Perceptual and Brain Sciences, UCL, under the supervision of Prof Alan Johnston and Dr Isabelle Mareschal, Biological and Experimental Psychology, QMUL. The studentship is funded for 3 years from a project grant from the Leverhulme Trust. The aim of the PhD project is to investigate perception of temporal properties of facial behavior including the timing of mutual gaze. The successful student will be based in the UCL Vision Research Lab directed by Prof Alan Johnston at UCL. For more information visit the lab website:Â http://www.psychol.ucl.ac.uk/vision/Lab_Site/Home.html. The laboratory is exceptionally well equipped for research in human vision and computer vision with a number of psychophysics laboratories, a video suite for multiview facial action recording and a 128 core compute cluster running parallel Matlab for computationally intensive research.

Applicants should have a good upper second or first-class degree in a cognitive discipline (e.g. psychology, cognitive science, computer science). They should also have excellent written and verbal communication skills. A relevant Masters degree and programming experience (e.g. in MATLAB) would be an advantage.Â The studentship will carry a stipend of Â£15,590 and will start on 1^st October or as soon as possible thereafter. Due to funding, the successful candidate must be eligible for fees at UK/EU rates.
