PhD Opportunities in Physics 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...

Electronics Integration and Reliability (EILB) at Aalto University School of Electrical Engineering is seeking a doctoral researcher to work on the next generation of high-density power electronics. The group develops innovative materials, device design, and bonding technologies for wide-bandgap and ultra-wide-bandgap semiconductor systems, with applications extending to RF devices and smart sensors. The project centers on miniaturised heterogeneous integration for power electronics, using novel...

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...

Aalto University is seeking a Doctoral Researcher to work on physics-enhanced machine learning for floating offshore wind digital twins . The project sits at the intersection of marine hydrodynamics, offshore structural dynamics and data-driven modelling, with a focus on estimating and monitoring the behaviour of floating wind turbines in demanding sea conditions. Floating wind turbines experience complex motions in six degrees of freedom under irregular waves and turbulent wind. Their mooring l...

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,...

The Engineered NanoSystems (ENS) research group at Aalto University School of Science is recruiting researchers to work on compound semiconductor energy converters, with openings for both doctoral and post-doctoral candidates. The project focuses on developing electroluminescent and thermophotonic energy converters based on III-V compound semiconductors and thin-film devices. The research spans the full chain from epitaxial growth and material development to device design, characterization, and ...

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 ...

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...
