1. 02 Fully Funded PhD Position in food spoilage and human perception
Summary of PhD Program:
There will be two projects: 1) Longitudinal RNA-based food spoilage markers and 2) Human perception of volatilomes produced by microbiomes spoiling perishable foods. The appointments will be made for two to four years depending on the project. The starting date is as soon as possible after the recruitment decision is made. The positions are filled with a 6 month probationary period.
Application Deadline: 03.12.2023
2. Fully Funded PhD Position in Material science
Summary of PhD Program:
The D2V project aims to develop a sustainable value chain from wood-based side streams to value-added bio-based products, such as dispersants, wood adhesives, binders and coatings, thermoplastic biocomposites, and fibre-based insulation materials through an efficient and integrated biorefinery approach. The targets of D2V are multiple and interlinked with parallel research sub-projects of the consortium partners. The main target of D2V is to facilitate the transition of Finnish biorefinery from a bioeconomy to a sustainable circular bioeconomy by upgrading industrial waste streams – mainly wood dust.
Application Deadline: 1.12.2023

3. Fully Funded PhD Position in history
Summary of PhD Program:
The applicant must have the right to complete a degree in a doctoral program at the University of Helsinki, and the applicants ongoing dissertation project must deal with the history of Finland. Both those who have just started their dissertation and those who have made further progress can apply. The length of the employment relationship is affected by how much funding the person has already received for their research topic and how far along the dissertation project is.
Application Deadline: 30.11.2023
4. Fully Funded PhD Position in Bacterial Temperature Adaptation and Super-Resolution Microscopy
Summary of PhD Program:
Most microorganisms lack homeothermic regulation which subjects them to unpredictable fluctuations in environmental temperature. Yet many microorganisms can withstand severe environmental changes and grow across large temperature ranges while maintaining cellular homeostasis and sub-cellular organization. The project will aim at understanding how temperature affects the cytoplasmic state in bacteria and what the consequences to cellular processes are. To study this, we use state-of-the-art super-resolution microscopy and single molecule tracking to record the movement of individual molecules inside individual live cells.
Application Deadline: 24.11.2023
5. Fully Funded PhD Position in Urban evolutionary ecology
Summary of PhD Program:
The PhD researcher will participate in a project studying the adaptive benefits of urban evolution in a common butterfly, Pieris napi (Green-veined White, Lanttuperhonen). We will test whether previously identified evolution of this species in Helsinki provides an adaptive benefit by raising offspring of both urban and rural butterflies in outdoor cages in both locations.
Application Deadline: 24.11.2023
6. Fully Funded PhD Position in operation of social networks in child welfare project
Summary of PhD Program:
The doctoral researcher position is part of the Ministry of Social Affairs and Health funded CHILD SOCNET research project at the University of Helsinki. CHILD SOCNET -project aims to provide an overall understanding of the operation of social networks in child welfare and related fields. The project consists of three work packages, where social network data will be collected from the child welfare clients, workers, teams, and organisations that present 3–4 well-being services counties in Finland.
