Post-doctoral position in physiological affective computing – University 
of Geneva
*****************************
The Swiss Center for Affective Sciences of the University of Geneva 
(http://www.affective-sciences.org) invites applications for a 
post-doctoral position. The applicants will be involved in a strong 
inter-disciplinary project involving the Computer Vision and Multimedia 
Laboratory (http://cvml.unige.ch/), from the Faculty of Sciences, and 
the Faculty of Letters / Arts.

The project is entitled "Film, Emotions, and Affective Computing: Movie 
Highlights’ detection". In line with current social and physiological 
research, the main goal of this project is to automatically detect 
highlights in movies from the physiological signals of several persons. 
The relationship between those highlights and the movie aesthetic will 
also be investigated. The position is starting immediately, for one year 
with a competitive salary.

Due the interdisciplinary nature of the job we are searching for someone 
that is very flexible and can collaborate with both people from the arts 
and the sciences. Applicants must have a doctoral degree. Priority will 
be given to applicants having a strong experience in computer science 
(especially pattern recognition and machine learning) and with the use 
of physiological measures (heart rate, electro-dermal activity, 
electro-encephalography, etc.). The researchers will be expected to 
publish their work in peer-reviewed conferences and journals.

Geneva is a very enjoyable city taking place between the Leman lake, the 
Jura and the Alps. The city is highly international and English speaking 
is common although it remains a French speaking place. The main language 
spoken in the laboratory is English.

In the case you meet the requirement and are interested, please send a 
CV, a cover letter and two reference letters to Guillaume Chanel: 
guillaume.chanel at unige.ch. You can also join one/two previous 
publications to the application with the motivation for their choice.
