Research Fellow and Postdoctoral Researcher Positions in ICT (Helsinki, Finland)

The Helsinki Institute for Information Technology (HIIT) invites applications for HIIT Research Fellow and HIIT Postdoctoral Researcher 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:

Position Summary:

HIIT provides funding for two types of researchers: Postdoctoral Researchers 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.

HIIT Research Fellows should strengthen Helsinki’s ICT research community either through collaboration or by linking ICT research with another scientific discipline.

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.
