About this position

University of Helsinki is advertising a PhD / Doctoral Researcher position in disease ecology, spatial ecology, and eco-epidemiology within the multidisciplinary CLIMFOCI project.

The project asks why tick-borne encephalitis virus (TBEV) occurs only in very localized hotspots in boreal environments. The successful candidate will work with empirical datasets on ticks, hosts, and microclimate, and will develop advanced spatial and hierarchical models to understand and predict TBEV risk areas under climate change.

This opportunity is a strong fit for applicants with a background in ecology, biology, epidemiology, environmental science, or statistics. Quantitative modelling skills are especially valued, and interest in field work, disease ecology, and climate–biodiversity interactions is emphasized.

The position is based at the University of Helsinki, Finland, and is advertised as a 3-year funded PhD. The start date is September 2026 (flexible). The application deadline is 2026-05-20.

Applications should be submitted via the University of Helsinki job portal using the provided link. Questions about the position can be directed to Dr. Teemu Smura at [email protected].
