Adam Sky

The University of Eastern Finland is offering a doctoral researcher position in the Department of Technical Physics on the Kuopio Campus. The project focuses on finite element technology for smooth problems , with an emphasis on developing and applying advanced computational methods for complex continuum and multiphysics problems. The successful candidate will work on methodological development, numerical implementation, and applications to challenging problems in computational engineering. The project combines theory and practice, bringing together mathematical analysis and software-oriented research in finite element methods. The doctoral researcher will also prepare and publish scientific results and take part in conferences, research visits, and collaboration with partner research groups. The research is supervised by Assistant Professor Adam Sky at the University of Eastern Finland together with Dr. Michael Neunteufel from the Johann Radon Institute for Computational and Applied Mathematics (RICAM) in Linz, Austria. The position is part of an international research environment and includes a limited teaching contribution, alongside the main task of conducting dissertation research and completing postgraduate studies. The role is based at the Faculty of Science, Forestry and Technology and is framed as a three-year fixed-term doctoral researcher appointment starting 1 January 2027, or as agreed.
