About this position
Aalto University is recruiting one doctoral researcher / PhD student for the AEGIS (Adaptive Grid-Interactive Edge Datacenter Fleets) MSCA Doctoral Network. The project is an EU-funded European research and training network running from 2026 to 2030 and training 15 doctoral candidates.
The advertised project topic is End-to-End Energy Modeling for Distributed AI Services. The research focuses on energy modeling, carbon-aware computing, computer networks, telecommunications, RAN, and datacenter hardware. The goal is to build compositional energy models spanning the radio network, transport network, and datacenter hardware, and to expose them through a fast query interface for AI workloads.
You will develop analytical and compositional models, validate them on Aalto and Ericsson testbeds, and build a low-latency API that estimates end-to-end energy cost for distributed AI services. The post also includes secondments with Ericsson (Finland) and TU Wien (Austria).
Eligibility highlights: a master's degree in computer science, communications engineering, telecommunications, or a related field; strong background in AI/ML and DNNs; understanding of computer and telecom networks; experience with empirical measurements; data analysis and analytical modeling; good programming skills; and fluent English. MSCA rules also apply: you must not already hold a PhD and must satisfy the mobility rule for Finland.
Funding/employment: the position is a 3-year doctoral researcher employment contract within an EU Marie Skłodowska-Curie Doctoral Network. The post does not state a stipend amount, but it is a funded doctoral researcher position.
How to apply: submit your application via Aalto’s recruitment portal by 2026-12-15. Prepare a CV, a one-page motivation letter, sample code with repository URL and role description, names and email addresses of two referees, and transcripts for bachelor’s and master’s studies.
