1. Fully Funded PhD Position in Digital Waters (DIWA) Doctoral Pilot
Summary of PhD Program:
DIWA doctoral pilot positions are funded by the Ministry of Education and Culture. The research themes of the open positions are linked to DIWA Flagship (www.digitalwaters.fi, https://digitalwaters.fi/phd-pilot/apply/ ) funded by Research Council of Finland. The flagship is a leading research and innovation ecosystem, bringing research and new innovations together to support decision-making and management in the water sector – digitally. DIWA enables a transition towards the digital representation of real-world water systems (Digital Twin) to reproduce hydrological storages, their states, fluxes and processes, as well as ecosystem responses with novel options for improved scenario analyses, planning and governance.
Application Deadline: 31.12.2024
2. Fully Funded PhD Position in Reinforcement Learning and Mobile Manipulation
Summary of PhD Program:
The main task of the PhD student will be to develop new reinforcement learning and planning methods. The developed methods may be based on one of our focus areas improving efficiency and generalization in control of complex systems. A goal is to develop methods that can be used for robotic mobile manipulation in unstructured partly unknown environments and in environments with elastic or deformable objects. The developed methods are evaluated with real robots such as our Boston Dynamics Spot robot. The exact direction of the research is chosen depending on your experience and interests. Please relate clearly to the research topics in your Letter of Motivation.

3. 02 Fully Funded PhD Position in Super-Resolution Microscopy and Single Molecule Tracking
Summary of PhD Program:
We are looking for an enthusiastic and motivated doctoral researchers who are interested in applying and/or analyzing data from super-resolution microscopy and single particle tracking to study intracellular life of bacteria. You will contribute to some of the following areas: experimental work in the laboratory, imaging using a custom TIRF microscope, data analysis, machine learning, and modelling. You will adapt existing and develop novel methods and protocols to collect and analyse scientific data from a variety of sources so that hypotheses can be tested, reviewed and refined. You will also carry out collaborative projects with colleagues within our group and from other institutions.
Application Deadline: 31.10.2024
4. Fully Funded PhD Position in Remote Sensing
Summary of PhD Program:
The main tasks of the doctoral researcher will be to conduct scientific research on the project’s theme, and to undertake doctoral studies at Aalto University. The topic of the doctoral thesis must be linked to the use of physically-based forest reflectance models in interpretation of spaceborne lidar data, but the exact content of the thesis can be tailored based on the candidate’s interests and skills. The doctoral researcher will work in the Remote Sensing Research Team. The work will also entail close collaboration with the consortium partner at University of Eastern Finland School of Forest Sciences, as well as opportunity to collaborate with the international partners.
Application Deadline: 30.10.2024
5. Fully Funded PhD Position in biomass chemistry
Summary of PhD Program:
We are now looking for a doctoral researcher to join the Circular Biobased Materials group at Aalto University. In this position you will have a chance to make an impact by upcycling forestry side streams (bark) into advanced packaging materials, as well as increase the overall yield of forestry products. You will use fundamental aspects of biomass chemistry, analytical methods, plant structures, and fibre science to develop methods to extract composite fibres from bark biomass. The work is done in close collaboration with an industrial partner.
Application Deadline: 28.10.2024
