Doctoral Researchers for Finnish Doctoral Program Network in Artificial Intelligence (FCAI)

The University of Helsinki is currently seeking to fill 64 three-year positions for doctoral researchers. These positions are part of a national initiative in doctoral education and are available within various doctoral education pilots. The appointments are set to commence on January 1, 2025.

As a doctoral researcher at the University of Helsinki, you will conduct your doctoral research as part of an international scientific community under the guidance of top researchers in your field.

Finnish Doctoral Program Network in Artificial Intelligence is launched in 2024 to build a world-class Ph D program with quality supervision, mobility, and multi-disciplinarity as integral parts. The program is a joint effort of 10 Finnish universities and will educate 100 new Ph Ds in artificial intelligence research. Finland’s Ministry of Education and Culture has granted 25.5 million EUR to support the program.

We are looking for prospective Ph D students to work in the following research areas:

Fundamental AI

AI in Communications and Signal Processing

AI in Health

AI in Engineering

AI in Language and Speech Technology

AI in Society and Business

Successful candidates should have previous experience in machine learning, statistics, artificial intelligence, or in another relevant field, demonstrated by success in related studies and ideally also by some publication record. Other merits demonstrating suitability for a researcher position can also be considered. Candidates should hold (or expect to shortly receive) a Master’s degree in computer science, statistics, electrical engineering, mathematics, or in another relevant field.

The positions require the ability to work both independently and as part of a team in a highly collaborative and interdisciplinary environment. The primary working language in the joint program activities is English, so good written and oral command of English is required.

If you are applying for a position in the Finnish Doctoral Program Network in Artificial Intelligence, please notice that you need to submit a parallel application in FCAI's own call. You can find more information about the FCAI call here.
