Postdoc Opportunities in Biology in Finland

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 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...

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 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...

This postdoctoral position is based in the Global Change and Biotic Interactions Ecology group at the University of Oulu and is part of the Research Council of Finland-funded project “Mechanisms of Plant Biodiversity Change” . The project is led by Prof. Anu Eskelinen and focuses on understanding why plant biodiversity changes unevenly across space and in response to global change. The successful researcher will work on questions about the mechanisms shaping plant community change, including the...

The University of Turku is seeking a postdoctoral researcher to study how human mobility and infectious disease spread have been shaped by ecological and social factors. The position is based in the Department of Biology and is part of the Human Diversity Centre of Excellence, an interdisciplinary research consortium funded by the Research Council of Finland. The project investigates past human contacts, including migration rates between local communities, and how these movements influenced the ...

Two postdoctoral researchers are sought for the Research Council of Finland-funded project “the Epistemic Significance of Concepts” at the University of Helsinki’s Theoretical Philosophy unit. The project is led by Academy Professor Maria Lasonen and is situated within a broader research environment in epistemology, logic, metaphysics, philosophy of mind, philosophy of language, philosophy of science, and history of philosophy. The project investigates the epistemic role of concepts from a broad...

The University of Helsinki invites applications for two three-year postdoctoral researcher positions in coastal marine science within CoastClim , the Centre for Coastal Ecosystem and Climate Change Research. The first position focuses on coastal sediment microbial ecology and biogeochemistry . The researcher will investigate how benthic biodiversity regulates carbon processing in healthy and degraded coastal ecosystems, with potential work on microbial controls of sediment carbon mineralization,...
