Please distribute: PhD Position in Visual Perception -- joint opportunity in Iceland and Switzerland #visionscience #cogsci #neuroskyence #psychscisky #phd #academia

Random self-promotion, but my hands-on #VisionScience textbook is available for <$50 at the moment! If you're excited about using analog demos of visual phenomena in your classroom, it's a great time to snag a copy! #STEMed

Are you a postdoctoral researcher? Don't miss the application deadline for BA/Leverhulme Small Research Grants on 4 June. Funding is available for research projects across all areas of the humanities and social sciences. Apply now: buff.ly/fLXzGVz

A free training workshop on PsychoPy, perfect for research trainees! #visionscience #cogsci #workingmemory #vss2025

Dear Canadian researchers, faculty, RAs, PDFs and grad students, this letter is for the federal party leaders asking them to defend and expand Canadian research sovereignty with a historic investment in science, please sign and share docs.google.com/document/d/1...

Very excited for the next @exppsychsoc.bsky.social meeting taking place in Dundee this July! UK abstract portals open *today* (7th April), 10am 😄

🎉My new paper with Markus Bindemann that investigates whether face-matching decisions would change depending on the framing of response options, is now available in Journal of Applied Research in Memory and Cognition (@apajournals.bsky.social), LINK: doi.org/10.1037/mac0.... [1/7]

Pass it on. #StandWithUkraine

75 years of diplomacy, hard work and a commitment to liberal democracy has just been flushed down the toilet by Trump, Vance and their MAGA idiots. Here is my final dispatch from the NATO meetings: Where Canada and Europe goes from here. substack.com/home/post/p-...

Please sign the letter if you haven’t.

If anyone knows a potential PhD student, I can highly recommend this PI and the Icelandic Vision Lab-- it is such a great environment! And, I know this because I'm basically an honorary member of the Lab-- haha!

🍿

Two grants to IVL 🥳 "Serial effects in visual perception" to PI @shansmann-roth.bsky.social + "Haptic harmony" to postdoc Ivan Makarov in collab with Unnthorsson, Kristjánsson, Jónasson & Uenala. Sabrina is looking for candidates for a three-year Ph.D. and a two-year postdoc position: [email protected]

What is a good platform for doing online survey research of persons with neurodevelopmental disorders (ADHD, ASD)? Prolific?

We’re hiring! We are looking for a postdoc in my lab, childvisionlab.co.uk to study how early vision loss & sight-rescuing treatments shape brain development. Join our Wellcome-funded project using advanced neuroimaging and behavioral methods! Deadline March 1st, start date flexible. t.ly/2Yoel

[1/2] I made a change to the #FaceProcessing feed (found here: bsky.app/profile/did:...). Essentially because it wasn't catching the tags well enough it now shows the posts of all the researchers who are in the face processing starter pack (found here: go.bsky.app/9A7EJsU)

First post on Bluesky! Looking forward to viewing and sharing more content related to vision, perception, and life in general. All the best!

We've joined #bluesky on our 50th anniversary! Follow us for research, commentary, and helpful tips for authors. To kick things off, we're excited to share these short editorials by Michael Posner, Isabel Gauthier (our editor), and David Rosenbaum: psycnet.apa.org/PsycARTICLES...

It's probably time to re-share this #FaceProcessing starter pack! If you do face research (e.g., face perceptiom/memory, detection, attractiveness or first impressions), and would like to be added, let me know below! Ps. The associated feed is linked in the next comment below. go.bsky.app/9A7EJsU

I've created a feed associated with theFace Processing starter pack (go.bsky.app/9A7EJsU). You can post to the feed using any of the following tags: #FaceMatching, #FaceMemory, #FaceLearning, #FaceIdentification, #FacialAttactiveness, #FacialFirstImpressions, #FaceProcessing, #FaceRecognition

'Automated face recognition assists with low‐prevalence face identity mismatches but can bias users'- our new paper funded by the EPS Graduate Bursary to Melina Mueller and Anna Bobak is now online! @rjwatt42.bsky.social @pjbhancock.bsky.social bpspsychub.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Looking to follow more graduate students in psychology? Look no further. Comment to be added! go.bsky.app/SJfTsPJ

Hopefully I'm not being too presumptuous here, but I figured there might be some need for a face perception starter pack. I know that I wanted one to exist so I'd know who to follow. I've added some folks that do work related to face perception, but let me know if you want in! go.bsky.app/9A7EJsU

Testing if this works... Trying to make a starter pack for researchers in #perception science Please share ! Will be adding more folks as I learn how #academicsky works ! go.bsky.app/V99fSBK

📣🧠📣 I’m hiring !! 📣🧠📣 We’re looking for a postdoc to join The Uncertainty Lab at @birkbeckpsychology.bsky.social You’ll lead fMRI work on a new project studying how communication with others alters private metacognition of our own minds. cis7.bbk.ac.uk/vacancy/post...

New York University has two *Open Rank* Faculty Positions in Social Psychology We will consider applicants from all career stages and all areas of Social Psychology apply.interfolio.com/154805 We are especially interested in scholarship that takes novel quantitative & methodological approaches

The best writing advice I've ever gotten is to remember that the first draft is where you explain it all to yourself and then the second draft is where you explain it all to your readers.
