20 Postdoctoral & Research Fellow Positions, Aalto University & University of Helsinki, Finland (2017)

Aalto University and University of Helsinki, the two leading universities in Finland in computer science and information technology, are currently looking for several Postdoctoral Researchers or Research Fellows in ICT. These positions belong to the university career system and the selected person will be appointed for a fixed-term position, for postdoctoral researchers typically for two years with an option for renewal. For exceptional candidates, a longer term Research Fellow position can be considered. The length of the contract and starting and ending dates are negotiable. In addition to research work, persons hired are expected to participate in the supervision of students and teaching following the standard practices of the hiring department.

Helsinki Institute for Information Technology HIIT is a joint research institute of Aalto University and the University of Helsinki for basic and applied research in information technology. HIIT's mission is to conduct top-level research, seamlessly moving between fundamental methods and technologies to novel applications and their impact on people and society. HIIT’s research programmes are ambitious, challenge-driven and typically interdisciplinary, operating across several departments and collaborating with the industry. In August 2016, HIIT launched four new research programmes that are now offering several researcher positions (areas 1-4) to complement the work of the participating research groups. The researchers to be recruited will be placed in one of the participating groups, or in some cases a shared position may also be possible. Interested applicants are encouraged to explain in their application which of the participating group or groups would be the best match to their profile, and how they would strengthen the research programme in general.

In addition to the HIIT programmes, several other positions are available in the Helsinki Metropolitan area, listed below as items 5-16. These positions are typically based on an externally funded research project, so that the scope may be more focused than in the HIIT research programmes (there may be some overlap with the research focus as some of the projects belong to one of the the new HIIT research programmes).
