Subject: PhD position on goosebump music in Kiel, Germany
We offer a limited PhD position (one year) with good chances for
prolongation (another two years) on the following highly topical
subject:
Why does music sometimes elicit goosebumps? Why do certain sounds
(chalk on a blackboard) sometimes elicit goosebumps? How can we
objectively measure goosebumps? How can we reliably induce goosebumps?
Are goosebumps to music different from goosebumps to atrocious sounds
or to cold? What is the time course of goosebumps relatively to the
stimulus, and compared to that of skin conductance and other
physiological correlates of arousal? ... (and whatever comes to your
mind once there is a goosebump recording system available)
A more detailed description of the job offer can be found at
http://www.psychologie.uni-kiel.de/emotion/goose/phd.pdf
We present our brand new goosebump recording system (see also:)

on March 26/27 in Trier, Germany, on the TeaP conference (Experimental
Psychologists Meeting),
http://www.teap.uni-trier.de/
but you are also welcome to visit us in Kiel to get a demonstration
of this new device.
Applications will be accepted until position is filled. We will start
interviewing candidates on April 2.
