Subject: (3) Announcement: Funding for Research in Human Olfaction

The following announcement is being distributed by Chuck
Wysocki upon a request by Terry Molnar of the Olfactory
Research Fund.

The Olfactory Research Fund (formally known as the
Fragrance Research Fund) is inviting grant proposals for
research in human olfaction which seeks to integrate the
study of olfaction with current issues in developmental, social,
and cognitive Psychology, and related disciplines.  At present,
the Fund is particularly interested in studies that explore the
effects of fragrance on stress, aging and appearance;
interpersonal relationships; and the use of fragrance to
enhance activities at home, in the workplace and other
indoor public spaces (i.e., to improve performance, increase
alertness, enchance relaxation).  The Fund will provide
consultation and assistance to researchers who have not
previously worked with olfaction.  Applicants must possess a
doctoral degree.  Deadline for submission of proposals is
January 1, 1993.  For further details and application
procedures contact the Olfactory Research Fund, 145 East
32nd St. New York, NY 10016-6002.

Subject: (4) Employment: Post-doc in Psychology/Zoology,  Oxford

DEPARTMENT OF ZOOLOGY
UNIVERSITY OF OXFORD
Post-Doctoral Research Assistant (RS 1A)

The person appointed will join a project on MEMORY DYNAMICS
AND DECISION MAKING IN BIRDS, funded by a two-year grant
from the Wellcome Trust to Alex Kacelnik.
The research will concern decision making in foraging contexts,
using starlings in the laboratory as the experimental system and
focusing on the dynamics of adjustments to changing conditions.
Theoretical and experimental skills are desirable, as the
research is in the interface between Optimal Foraging Theory
and Experimental Psychology. Acquaintance with, or willingness
to train in, both disciplines will be advantageous.
Applications, including curriculum vitae and a statement of
research interests, should be sent to the address below.
Applicants should ask two referees to send supporting letters.
There is no deadline,  but an early starting date is preferred.
Evaluation of applications will commence on November 30, 1992
but later applications will be considered until a suitable
candidate is found.

Our laboratory is developing alertness and  attention  monitoring
systems  based  on  human psychophysiological measures (EEG, ERP,
EOG, ECG), through ongoing  research  at  basic  and  exploratory
development levels. Our research is not classified. The laborato-
ry has a network of Unix workstations with a large software base,
and a 48-64 channel EEG recording facillity.

We have openings for post doctoral fellows in signal  processing,
neural  network estimation, and human cognitive psychophysiology.
We are especially interested in the relation of oscillatory brain
dynamics to attention and alertness.

ONT post doctoral positions start at $36-42K per year, plus mov-
ing expenses, travel budget, and benefits .   Fellows must be US
citizens with a PhD or equivalent earned within 7 years. Another
program is available for non-citizens.

Subject: (8) Announcement: 1st GENEVA EMOTION WEEK

         GENEVA EMOTION WEEK: April 16 to 22, 1993

Applications are invited for the first GENEVA EMOTION WEEK, consisting
of a scientific colloquium focussing on major issues in the psychology
of emotion, and of a series of workshops, designed to train participants
in a number of methods of emotion research.

Speakers and topics for a 3-day colloquium on "The Development of
Emotion" during the first Emotion Week in April 1993 are as follows:
Prof. Judith Dunn,  Emotional understanding and children's
relationships; Prof. Anthony Manstead, Children's representation of
emotions; Prof. Robert Plomin, :Genetics and individual differences in
emotional development; PD Dr. Jens Asendorpf, The emergence of
embarrassment in the second year; Prof. Pierre Mounoud, Prof. Klaus
Scherer,  Prof. Daniel Stern, A multidomain appr oach to studying the
development of cognition and emotion.

Three workshops on specific methods in emotion research and application
(of 4 days duration each) will be offered in parallel: Analysing the
vocal expression of  emotion and stress (held in English); Coding facial
and gestural expressions of emotion and affect disturbance (held in
French and German); Assessment of emotionality, coping, and affective
experience (held in French and German). These workshops are held by
members of the Geneva Emotion Research Group, and are designed to
provide participants with expertise to continue learning and using the
respective techniques on their own. There are a limited number of places
for each workshop to allow for intensive working conditions. Training
consists of a systematic introduction followed by practical exercises.

Prospective participants are researchers or doctoral students working in
the emotion domain.  Admission for the limited number of places is
decided on the basis of prior application. The participation fee is
fixed at Fr.S. 1000 (Fr.S.  800 for students). The fee includes a
contribution to the running expenses, as well as lunch and all
materials. Accommodation can be arranged by the organizers. It is
expected that most participants will be at least partly reimbursed for
the participation fee and travel and l odging expenses by their
institutions or by national research councils or funding agencies. Those
not being reimbursed for their fees may apply for a partial stipend to
the organizers. Further information can be obtained by writing to:

Prof. Klaus R. Scherer  -  FPSE, Section de Psychologie - University of
Geneva 9, route de Drize -  CH-1227 Geneva-Carouge

Applications must be received by January 31, 1992.

The goal of the conference is to bring together researchers
in ethology, ecology, cybernetics, artificial intelligence,
robotics, and related fields so as to further our understanding
of the behaviors and underlying mechanisms that allow animals
and, potentially, robots to adapt and survive in uncertain
environments.

The conference will focus particularly on simulation models
in order to help characterize and compare various organizational
principles or architectures capable of inducing adaptive behavior
in real or artificial animals.
