<https://www.hiit.fi/>, which is a strategic partnership between Aalto
University <https://www.aalto.fi/en/department-of-computer-science> and
the University of Helsinki
<https://www.helsinki.fi/en/faculty-science/faculty/computer-science>,
invites applications for HIIT Research Fellow and HIIT Postdoctoral
Fellow positions. Excellent researchers in all areas of ICT will be
considered, but priority is given to candidates who support one or more
of HIIT's strategic focus areas:
Artificial Intelligence
Computational Health
Cybersecurity
Data Science
Foundations of Computing
Position Summary:
HIIT provides funding for two types of researchers: Postdoctoral Fellows
and Research Fellows. These positions are meant to support the career
development of excellent researchers who plan a career as a scientist.
HIIT Research Fellow
HIIT Research Fellow positions support the career development of
excellent advanced researchers who already have some postdoctoral
research experience. While HIIT Research Fellows have a designated
supervisor at University of Helsinki or Aalto University, they are
expected to develop their own research agenda and to gain the skills
necessary to lead their own research group in the future. HIIT Research
Fellows should strengthen Helsinki's ICT research community either
through collaboration or by linking ICT research with another scientific
discipline. In either case, excellence and potential for impact are the
primary criteria for HIIT Research Fellow funding. The initial contract
period is normally for three years with the possibility of a two-year
extension up to a total of five years.
HIIT Postdoctoral Fellow
HIIT Postdoctoral Fellow positions are targeted to researchers who have
recently completed their doctoral degree, typically within the last
three years. HIIT Postdoctoral Fellows are not hired to work on
externally funded projects but are intended to support one or more of
the HIIT strategic focus areas. These positions provide opportunities
for development as a researcher within one of the four departments
conducting ICT research at Aalto University and University of Helsinki.
The initial contract period is normally for two years with the
possibility of a one-year extension up to a total of three years.
Qualifications:
The candidate must have a PhD at the time of application. If you do not
have a PhD at this time, you must have a plan for completion detailed in
your cover letter. Candidates should have an excellent track record in
scientific research, with publications that are relevant to the
position. A good command of both spoken and written English is essential.
------------------
We are committed to fostering an inclusive environment for people from
diverse backgrounds. Researchers from underrepresented groups are
encouraged to apply.
The application deadline is August 21st, 2022, at 11:59 pm Finnish local
time (EEST = UTC + 3)
