Connectionists: Postdoctoral position in computational analysis of human behavior

[tuncbir at gmail.com]

We are seeking postdoctoral fellows with interest and experience in
computational approaches for quantifying human social behavior. This
research is conducted at the University of Pennsylvania and the Center for
Autism Research at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, as a part of
multiple NIH grants. The applicant will be part of a big multidisciplinary
team that develops AI tools to study human behavior (facial and bodily
movements) during social interactions. Our research is a unique blend of
machine learning, computer vision, cognitive science, bioinformatics, and
mental health conditions.

The fellow will be responsible for all or some of the following tasks,
depending on the expertise:
-  Developing computer vision techniques (e.g., face analysis, body movement
analysis, gesture analysis)
-  Developing signal processing methodologies to analyze biological and
behavioral signals (e.g., head movements, joint movements)
-  Developing time series analysis techniques to extract patterns in
biological and behavioral signals (e.g., coordination and causality in
movements of multiple people)
-  Validating developed tools using in-house clinical data, as well as
publicly available datasets
-  Performing pattern recognition on collected data (i.e., classification,
regression, clustering, feature learning)
