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

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...

The Department of Mathematics and Statistics at the University of Jyväskylä is recruiting 2–3 postdoctoral researchers for research in mathematics, with a particular connection to the department’s work on inverse problems. The appointments are fixed-term positions of 1–3 years and are intended to begin mainly in fall 2027, with spring 2027 or another start date possible by agreement. The successful researchers will join an active department environment and contribute primarily to scientific rese...

The Department of Psychology at the University of Jyväskylä is recruiting a doctoral researcher for the STN-funded Planetary Mind project. The project examines environmental agency — the ability to make sustainable everyday choices — and its relationship to mental health across different age groups. The doctoral researcher will work in a multidisciplinary consortium and develop a dissertation linked to the project’s research themes. The role combines original research with publication, collabora...

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...

The Barrett lab at the University of Helsinki is recruiting a post-doctoral researcher to work at the intersection of computational genomics, multiomic data analysis, and predictive medicine. The project aims to discover, understand, and measure mechanistically meaningful subtypes of complex human diseases, with a strong emphasis on moving beyond clinical phenotype to molecular and biological endotypes. The lab is newly established and sits within a rich research environment spanning the Univers...

The Barrett lab at the University of Helsinki is recruiting a doctoral researcher to work on computational genomics for predictive medicine . The project sits at the intersection of genomics, multiomic data analysis, and machine learning, with a scientific goal of identifying mechanistically meaningful subtypes of complex human diseases. Rather than focusing only on observed clinical phenotypes, the lab aims to characterize diseases through molecular and biological endotypes that can better supp...

This doctoral researcher position at the University of Oulu is centered on educational technology, generative artificial intelligence, and teacher learning. The successful candidate will join the Faculty of Education and Psychology and work across two linked projects that place AI-supported pedagogy in real educational contexts. The first project, INTEGRATE, focuses on training teachers to integrate EU matters, topics, and values into everyday teaching through GenAI-supported pedagogy. It involv...

The Department of Biological and Environmental Science at the University of Jyväskylä is recruiting a Doctoral Researcher to work on an evolutionary biology project focused on how natural selection and sexual selection interact to shape diversification in natural populations over contemporary timescales. The project gives the doctoral researcher freedom to develop research within this broader framework, using the freshwater isopod Asellus aquaticus as an empirical model system. This species offe...
