CYBER-EMOTIONS: Collective Emotions in Cyberspace
The CYBER-EMOTIONS project focuses on the role of collective emotions in creating, forming and breaking-up ecommunities. The project has begun in February 2009, and involves an international collaboration with eight other partner institutions. The tasks of the work package at Jacobs University involve primarily preparing, conducting, and analyzing experiments as well as presenting the results to an international audience. Specifically, this involves measuring emotional responses while participants read or produce Internet contents or interact, in real-time, online with other users. Dependent variables involve a multi-level approach that employs self-reports as well as psychophysiological responses (facial EMG, electrodermal activity, heart rate) using Biopac recording equipment. More details regarding the overall project frame work and the consortium can be found at the web-site www.cyberemotions.eu

Requirements
Masters degree in psychology or equivalent; interest in socio-affective processes and methodological expertise as regards experiments and statistical analyses; interest in conducting psychophysiological experiments; academic excellence; enthusiasm; good communication skills. Preference will be given to candidates with experience in measuring psychophysiological reactions and/or programming.
