Connectionists: Postdoc position in multimodal affective computing and computational psychiatry

[Laszlo A. Jeni]

The Affect Analysis Group at Carnegie Mellon University/University of
Pittsburgh seeks a PhD to work in one of two areas. One is affective motor
response to deep brain stimulation in participants with treatment-resistant
depression and obsessive-compulsive disorder.  This project aims to reveal
neural substrates of emotion and develop closed-loop systems to optimize
treatment response.  The other area is multimodal communication of
depression and includes family interaction and therapist-client
communication in evidence-based treatment. Both areas emphasize multimodal
communication (face, body, voice), domain transfer, multimodal levels of
analysis (central- and peripheral physiology and behavior), and
interpersonal influence.  The individual projects are described in more
detail at http://jeffcohn.net/Projects/

Candidates with a PhD degree in computer vision, machine learning, or
related field or PhD in behavioral science with strong quantitative
background (multi-level modeling and machine learning) and coding skills
are encouraged to apply.  Primary supervisors are Jeff Cohn (University of
Pittsburgh and CMU) and Laszlo Jeni (CMU).   The position is to begin
February 1 or later for a period of two years or longer.

Please send letter of interest (Name_loi.pdf), representative publications,
and letters of recommendation to jeffcohn at cs.cmu.edu or jeffcohn at pitt.edu.
