> 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!
