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!

Helsinki Institute for Information Technology HIIT is a joint research institute of Aalto University<http://www.aalto.fi/en/> and the University of Helsinki<http://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 niklas.ravaja@aalto.fi<mailto:niklas.ravaja@aalto.fi> by August 8, 2011. Please, enclose your CV and list of publications.
