About this position
Postdoctoral Researcher in Cloud and Network Computing at Aalto University, Finland.
This postdoctoral opening is in the Cloud and Network Computing group, headed by assistant professor Gopika Premsankar. The research focus is at the intersection of multimodal large language models and networking, including semantic and context-aware networking, resource management in edge computing systems, and AI-native network control. A major part of the role is designing and building realistic simulators to generate data, evaluate algorithms, and study network behavior under dynamic conditions.
The position is described as fully funded for 2 years, with the possibility of a longer stay. The salary starts at approximately 4220 EUR/month, and the contract includes comprehensive occupational health benefits. The project is connected to an NSF-RCF joint project with a public-safety communication context and offers opportunities to interact with visiting collaborators at North Carolina State University and Penn State University.
Applicants should have a PhD in computer science, telecommunications, electrical engineering, or a related field; an excellent research track record in networking, MLLMs, or LLMs; and demonstrated experience in building and designing simulation environments. Experience in resource-management algorithms is a merit. The role also expects the ability to mentor doctoral and master's students and collaborate with diverse research groups.
To apply, prepare a CV, a short motivation letter (maximum 1 page), sample simulation code, names and email addresses of at least two referees, and a publication list with one or two highlighted publications plus a short note on their relevance to the role. Apply via the Aalto University recruitment site. The deadline is 30 December 2026 at 23:59 EET.
