danah,

My home institute HIIT is looking for a postdoc in ICT-mediated social interaction. The ad for the position is below - if someone comes to mind who might be interested, please spread the word!

I believe the position would be even more fun than the description below makes it sound and it'll be in a team that accommodates folks doing research such as mine, too, so no one should be intimidated by the psychophysiological recordings and such that are mentioned :) Someone who's interested in privacy would be amazing but other lines of research are perfectly fair game, too, of course!

Airi

Helsinki Institute for Information Technology HIIT is a joint research
institute of Aalto Universityhttp://www.aalto.fi/en/ and the University
of Helsinkihttp://www.helsinki.fi/university for basic and applied
research on information technology (http://www.hiit.fi/). A new research
group in the Network Society research programme will focus on the social
psychological aspects of information and communication technologies (ICT).

We are looking for a POSTDOC RESEARCHER in the area of ICT-MEDIATED SOCIAL
INTERACTION for a three-year period.

The research of the group focuses, for example, on the emotional and
cognitive processes during mediated social interaction. The research
supports the creation of ICT that is optimal from the perspective of human
emotional and cognitive processes and social interaction. Methodological
approaches include also psychophysiological recordings (e.g., EEG, facial
EMG).

The tasks of the Postdoc researcher include carrying out state-of-the-art
academic research with the best possible collaborators, reasonable
freedom, and opportunities for a high impact. We strongly favor
inter-group and interdisciplinary interaction. The researcher is also
expected to participate in the preparation of new research projects.

We appreciate the following characteristics:

  •     Appropriate education (PhD in computer or information science,
    

social psychology, psychology, cognitive science, or a closely related
field)

  •     Proactive approach to work
    
  •     Ability to co-operate in a multidisciplinary research team and
    

with partners of international projects

  •     Solid experience in research work as witnessed by international
    

peer-reviewed publications

  •     Expertise with psychophysiological methods (e.g., facial EMG,
    

EEG) is an advantage, but not a prerequisite

The salary for the post will be based on the Universities' salary system.
For further information of the task, please contact Professor Niklas
Ravaja at +358 50 3605191.

Applications should be addressed by e-mail to
