PhD Opportunities in Chemistry in Finland

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 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 position sits within the FAroGels MSCA Doctoral Network and the Department of Food and Nutrition at the University of Helsinki’s Faculty of Agriculture and Forestry. The project, “Aerogels for Oral Lubrication,” explores how dietary-fibre aerogels and cryogels can be designed as functional porous, moisture-responsive materials for food applications, with a particular focus on texture, mouthfeel, and oral processing. The doctoral researcher will investigate how fibre-network organis...

The University of Helsinki’s Faculty of Arts is offering a full-time, three-year doctoral researcher position in archaeology, with the work located in the Department of Cultures. The position is linked to the Academy of Finland–funded SRTOOL project, led by Academy Research Fellow Maria Lahtinen, and places the doctoral researcher in a strongly international, interdisciplinary setting. The project focuses on strontium isotope tools for tracing mobility connected to aquatic diets across the past,...

Doctoral researcher in computational genomics for predictive medicine at the University of Helsinki is a PhD position in the Barrett lab, jointly affiliated with the ELLIS Institute Finland, the Institute for Molecular Medicine Finland (FIMM), and the Faculty of Medicine. The project sits at the intersection of genomics, multiomic data analysis, and AI-driven biomedical research. The lab’s goal is to discover, understand, and measure mechanistically meaningful subtypes of complex human diseases,...

This doctoral researcher position is part of AEGIS, an EU-funded Marie Skłodowska-Curie Doctoral Network focused on making edge datacenters more carbon-efficient and grid-interactive. The network develops software-defined technologies that can turn edge data centers from passive loads into active resources for the electricity grid. The advertised project, “End-to-End Energy Modeling for Distributed AI Services,” is about making the real energy cost of AI workloads visible to orchestrators and de...

FAroGels doctoral project on food-grade aerogels and oral lubrication at the University of Helsinki focuses on how dietary-fibre aerogels and cryogels can be designed as functional porous materials for food applications. The doctoral researcher will investigate how fibre-network organisation, pore connectivity, swelling behaviour, pore-size distribution, and structural integrity shape moisture responsiveness, mechanical response, and texture-related performance under food-processing and oral con...

Aalto University in Espoo, Finland, is hiring 1–2 doctoral researchers for a PhD project combining gated two-dimensional device structures with low-temperature scanning tunneling microscopy (STM). The research focuses on condensed matter physics, two-dimensional quantum devices, correlated quantum materials, atomic-scale phenomena, nanotechnology, and quantum technology. The project is particularly relevant to students interested in studying quantum materials and device behavior using advanced l...
