1. 25 Fully Funded PhD Position in MSCA COFUND project Human-Centric Artificial Intelligence for Sustainable Future (HAIF)
Summary of PhD Program:
The Human-Centric Artificial Intelligence for Sustainable Future (HAIF) doctoral training programme at the University of Turku invites applications for fixed-term doctoral researcher positions based on employment contracts. Employment starts on Monday 18 August 2025 at the earliest, but at the latest on Friday 29 August 2025, unless otherwise agreed. The duration of the full-time position is four years. HAIF is a doctoral training programme for 25 doctoral researchers hosted by the University of Turku. HAIF unites research groups from different fields, and the programme’s unique, human-centric approach stems from this interdisciplinary collaboration.
Application Deadline: 28 February 2025
2. Fully Funded PhD Position in battery diagnostics
Summary of PhD Program:
We are looking for a doctoral researcher/project researcher to develop an analytical detection set-up to measure aging and degradation related gas evolution in batteries. Chemical data, collected from inside the battery during their operation, can bring valuable insight to battery development and repurposing. During the project, commercial gas sensors are employed to collect the novel type of data from batteries, and the results will be validated with mass spectrometry and gas chromatography.
Application Deadline: 13th of January, 2025

3. 1-2 Fully Funded PhD Position in health technology
Summary of PhD Program:
The positions are open in two Horizon Europe projects led by the University of Turku. In STIMULUS project (Speckle Technology and Digital Biomarkers of Microvascular Function for Monitoring Cardiovascular Diseases, 1.10.2023 – 30.9.2027), funded by a European Innovation Council Pathfinder grant, we develop new instruments for assessing adverse changes in microcirculatory status linked to hypertension, chronic kidney disease and heart failure, leading to earlier detection of cardiovascular diseases. The instruments are developed and validated in clinical trials. We integrate two state-of-the-art technologies leading to a novel innovation, 3D speckle tissue monitoring.
Application Deadline: 14 January 2025
4. Fully Funded PhD Position in Immune Cell Navigation Group
Summary of PhD Program:
We are looking for a highly motivated researcher to join a project that explores the chemotactic migration and navigation of immune cells in various tissue environments. The project aims to reveal the mechanisms regulating especially dendritic cell migrating and the impact of disease associated changes in extracellular matrix on dendritic cell function. Defects in dendritic cell trafficking can lead to various autoimmune diseases and progression of cancer. Thus, the mechanisms regulating dendritic cell trafficking may provide an important target for designing future therapeutic interventions.
Application Deadline: 15 January 2025
5. Fully Funded PhD Position in FINCA
Summary of PhD Program:
FINCA is seeking a Doctoral Researcher / Project Researcher in astronomy, more specifically in the field of time-domain astrophysics. This work is part of the project Ambiguous Progenitors of Powerful Hydrogen-rich Supernovae (APoPHiS) funded by the Research Council of Finland and led by Dr. Tuomas Kangas. The selected person will conduct observational studies of newly discovered luminous and superluminous hydrogen-rich supernovae. This includes performing astronomical observations, light-curve and spectroscopic analysis, statistical sample studies, and comparing the observations to state-of-the-art numerical simulations and theoretical models.
Application Deadline: 14 February 2025
