About this position
This doctoral researcher position at the University of Oulu is centered on educational technology, generative artificial intelligence, and teacher learning. The successful candidate will join the Faculty of Education and Psychology and work across two linked projects that place AI-supported pedagogy in real educational contexts.
The first project, INTEGRATE, focuses on training teachers to integrate EU matters, topics, and values into everyday teaching through GenAI-supported pedagogy. It involves developing and implementing teacher education courses, online professional development modules, instructional materials, and AI-supported teaching activities for teachers. The second project, Power T/A, examines how AI-based technologies can be integrated into teacher mentorship and instructional activities, with particular attention to online mentorship and teachers’ professional learning.
As part of these projects, the doctoral researcher will contribute to research and development activities that connect educational design, teacher education, and responsible use of artificial intelligence. The work includes participating in the creation and evaluation of learning materials and professional development activities, collecting and analysing qualitative and quantitative data, contributing to publications, collaborating with teachers and researchers, and presenting findings in academic settings.
The position offers a supportive research environment at the University of Oulu with collaboration across local, national, and international partners, and with a clear focus on pedagogically meaningful AI use in education.
