PhD Position in Embodied AI, Computer Science and Engineering – Neural Signal Processing and 3D Human Motion at University of Oulu University of Oulu in Finland

The University of Oulu is seeking a Doctoral Researcher in Computer Science and Engineering, specializing in Embodied AI, to join the Center for Machine Vision and Signal Analysis (CMVS) at the Faculty of Information Technology and Electrical Engineering (ITEE). This position is part of the InfoTech research project “ThinkControl: Non-Invasive Brain Signal Decoding for Neural 3D Human Motion Reconstruction and Transfer Using Latent Diffusion Models” (2026–2029). The project aims to develop next-generation non-invasive brain–machine interfaces by decoding EEG signals into continuous latent representations, enabling fine-grained control of 3D human motion. The successful candidate will advance neural signal processing and AI models to facilitate mind-driven 3D motion understanding and generation. Key research areas include embodied AI, neural signal processing, brain–machine interfaces, EEG, 3D human motion, and latent diffusion models. The position offers the opportunity to work in a leading research environment at the University of Oulu, collaborating with experts in machine vision and signal analysis. Funding is provided through the ThinkControl project, though specific details on stipend or tuition coverage are not mentioned. Applicants should have a background in computer science, engineering, or related fields, with experience or interest in neural signal processing, AI, or brain–machine interfaces. The application deadline is December 25, 2025. For more information and to apply, visit the University of Oulu careers page or the provided LinkedIn post.
