The web page includes a list of direct links to Technical Society/Technical Council program pages, replacing the former password-protected database that required a login.

Postdoc in Forensic Science Program at Penn State University

The Forensic Science program at Penn State has an opening for a researcher to work on an NIJ-sponsored fingerprint statistics project. The project goals include (a) extracting and modeling the distribution of various features of finger impressions left by offenders at crime scenes and (b) correlating these quantitative measurements with conclusions reached by fingerprint practitioners. This project is at the crossroad between science and practice and is run in collaboration with international academics and U.S. forensic practitioners.
