Communications Technology (HICT <https://hict.fi/>) is a joint
initiative by Aalto University
<https://www.aalto.fi/en/department-of-computer-science>and the
University of Helsinki <https://www2.helsinki.fi/en/computer-science>,
the two leading universities within this area in Finland. The network
involves at present over 80 professors and over 200 doctoral students,
and the participating units graduate altogether more than 40 new doctors
each year.
The participating units of HICT have currently funding available for
qualified doctoral students. We offer an exciting opportunity to join
world-class research groups, with multiple research projects to choose
from. The activities of HICT and the themes of open positions are
structured along five research area specific tracks:
* Algorithms and machine learning
* Life science informatics
* Networks, networked systems and services
* Software and service engineering and systems
* User centered and creative technologies
If you wish to be considered as a new doctoral student in HICT you can
apply to one or a number of doctoral student positions. We actively work
to ensure our community's diversity and inclusiveness. This is why we
warmly encourage qualified candidates from all backgrounds to join our
community.
*For more information, please see the list of positions and detailed

August 16, 2021 at midnight Finnish time *(23:59 EET, Eastern European
Time).
The quality of research and education in both HICT universities is
world-class. You will receive high-quality training, personal
supervision, and guidance, which will provide an excellent start to an
academic career. The Helsinki Metropolitan area is a comfortable place
where services are close by and public transport works excellently. In
terms of the living environment
<https://www.myhelsinki.fi/en/work-and-study/27-reasons-to-live-in-helsinki>,
Helsinki has consistently ranked as vibrant and safe city, and it is
surrounded by beautiful nature. Helsinki is currently in the fifth place
in the world's startup city comparison (Valuer
<https://www.valuer.ai/blog/top-50-best-startup-cities>, 2021). Finland
is among the best countries in the world with respect to many quality of
life indicators
<https://www.stat.fi/tup/tilastokirjasto/itsenaisyyspaiva-2019_en.html>,
ranking at the top in education and subjective wellbeing. Furthermore,
Finland is the world's happiest country in 2021 – for the fourth time in
a row (World Happiness Report, 2021
