About this position

The Autotelic Interaction Research Group (AIR) at Aalto University, Finland, is recruiting for two exciting positions: a fully funded PhD position in Creative Practices (2+2 years) and a postdoctoral researcher position (2 years) as part of the "Autotelic Creative Artificial Intelligence" (ACAI) project. The group, led by Assistant Professor Christian Guckelsberger, focuses on pioneering research at the intersection of creative technology, artificial intelligence, and art. The ACAI project critically explores alternative and sustainable approaches to creative AI, aiming to understand how AI can function as a genuinely creative agent rather than merely replicating human aesthetics or processes.

Successful candidates will join a vibrant, international research environment just outside Helsinki, collaborating with leading researchers worldwide, including Prof. Tom Froese (OIST, Japan), Prof. Jon McCormack (Monash University, Australia), and Prof. Takashi Ikegami (University of Tokyo, Japan). The research group values open-mindedness, creativity, and interdisciplinary collaboration, making it an ideal setting for those interested in the future of creative AI and human-AI interaction.

The PhD position is open to creative practitioners with a relevant background, while the postdoctoral position is aimed at theory researchers with a completed PhD in a related field. Both roles require a strong interest in creative artificial intelligence, critical approaches to technology, and the ability to work collaboratively. The positions are fully funded, offering competitive salaries and benefits according to Aalto University standards. The application deadline is April 3, 2026.

For more information and to apply, visit the official Aalto University job postings linked above. The AIR group also maintains an active online presence, with further details available on their website and social media channels. This is a unique opportunity to contribute to cutting-edge research in creative AI within a supportive and innovative academic community.

The PhD position is fully paid for 2+2 years, and the postdoctoral researcher position is funded for 2 years. Both positions offer competitive salaries as per Aalto University regulations. The PhD position is fully funded, covering salary and benefits. No explicit mention of tuition coverage or stipend amount in the provided content.

What's required

Applicants for the PhD position should have a relevant background in creative practices, computer science, or a related field. For the postdoctoral position, a completed PhD in a relevant discipline is required. Candidates should demonstrate interest or experience in creative AI, critical approaches to technology, and interdisciplinary research. Additional requirements may include strong communication skills and the ability to work collaboratively in an international research environment.
