PhD, Master’s & Postdoc Opportunities in Biology in Finland

The University of Turku is recruiting a doctoral researcher at the Turku PET Centre in Finland through the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions PREFERENCE Doctoral Network. The project, “Effect of ischemic heart disease on multiorgan perfusion,” focuses on using long axial field-of-view (LAFOV) PET/CT to study cardiovascular disease and whole-body biological processes. The doctoral researcher will conduct hands-on clinical research to improve the use of LAFOV PET/CT in patient care. The work will deve...

The University of Oulu’s Faculty of Technology is seeking a postdoctoral researcher for a three-year project in hydrological and ecosystem modelling within the Water, Energy and Environmental Engineering Unit. The research investigates how hydrological and biogeochemical processes interact with terrestrial ecosystems and climate systems in Arctic and boreal environments. The researcher will develop and apply numerical models to simulate water and nutrient fluxes, carbon mobilisation and lateral ...

The University of Oulu is seeking a Doctoral Researcher in Peatland Restoration Hydrology and Biogeochemistry for a three-year project in the Water, Energy and Environmental Engineering Unit of the Faculty of Technology. The research investigates how restoration and rewetting of former peat extraction areas influence carbon cycling, water quality, lateral greenhouse-gas emissions, water storage, runoff dynamics, and catchment hydrology. The project centres on the intensively monitored Turvesuo–M...

This doctoral project is part of the European Commission’s PANDORA Doctoral Network and is hosted by the School of Pharmacy, Faculty of Health Sciences at the University of Eastern Finland in Kuopio. The researcher will work on pathomechanisms and novel drug optimization for age-related macular degeneration (AMD) , with a strong emphasis on ophthalmic drug delivery to the retina. The core research task is to develop and test intravitreal drug formulations designed for targeted retinal delivery. ...

The Turku Collegium for Science, Medicine and Technology (TCSMT) invites applications for four postdoctoral researcher positions at the University of Turku in Finland. The positions are hosted by one of the participating departments at the University of Turku, including the Turku School of Economics. The collegium brings together research across science, medicine and technology, offering an interdisciplinary environment for postdoctoral researchers working within these broad areas. TCSMT is supp...

A fully funded doctoral researcher position at the University of Helsinki invites applications to study protein synthesis in the lab of Sarah O’Keefe , with co-supervision from Brendan Battersby . The project, Inhibiting Protein Synthesis – Old, New, Borrowed, Blue , is based at the Viikki Campus in Helsinki and sits within the Faculty of Biological and Environmental Sciences. The project brings together cellular and chemical biology to investigate how protein synthesis works and how it can be d...

The Faculty of Humanities at the University of Helsinki is recruiting a postdoctoral researcher to join the Multimodality Research Group in the Department of Languages. The position is part of an ERC-funded project led by Professor Tuomo Hiippala and focuses on developing novel methods and corpora for studying multimodality: how people communicate through combinations of multiple expressive modes. The project studies everyday cultural artefacts such as school textbooks, news broadcasts, diagrams...

The Department of Physics at the University of Jyväskylä is recruiting a Postdoctoral Researcher in Accelerator-Based Neutron Physics for BNCT for a project-based two-year appointment. The project focuses on realizing a new Neutron Beam Line for a 3 MV Tandetron accelerator, with the beamline scheduled to support research after delivery of the accelerator in 2026. The main research responsibilities centre on the design and simulation of the neutron beam line, especially the lithium target and be...

The Doctoral Researcher will join the Global Change and Biotic Interactions Ecology group at the University of Oulu to work in the Research Council of Finland-funded project “Mechanisms of Plant Biodiversity Change.” The project investigates why plant biodiversity responds differently to global change across sites and time, with a particular focus on the combined roles of spatial context, dispersal in space and time, biotic interactions, and intraspecific trait change. The research is designed t...
