Are you holding Master’s degree and looking for fully funded PhD positions? Aalto University, Finland invites online application for multiple funded PhD Programs / fully funded PhD positions in various research areas.
Candidates interested in fully funded PhD positions can check the details and may apply as soon as possible. Interested and eligible applicants may submit their online application for PhD programs via the University’s Online Application Portal.
1. Fully Funded PhD Position in Distributed Intelligence
Summary of PhD Program:
You will work on a project aiming to investigate the potential and benefits of using distributed swarm control of multiple drives, enabled by the cloud-edge continuum, with a focus on developing methodologies, architectures, and AI techniques for enhanced energy efficiency and operational performance. The work is expected to lead to scientific publications in international academic conferences and particularly journals.
Application Deadline: 5.9.2023
2. Fully Funded PhD Position in Topological Photonics
Summary of PhD Program:
You will learn about the theory of topological phases in photonics with a focus on designing and manipulating light at the nanoscale level using novel concepts. Through a combination of theoretical analysis and numerical simulations, you will explore the interplay between time-varying media and the topological quantum aspects of light-matter interactions at the nanoscale. You will study how topological defects, such as light polarization vortices, interact with Berry curvature of the bands. Additionally, you will explore the potential of “synthetic dimensions” as an alternative means of implementing topology in a photonic system, investigating whether they can provide novel phenomena such as exceptional nodal points or richer topological effects.
Application Deadline: 31.8.2023

4. Fully Funded PhD Position in sustainable business
Summary of PhD Program:
We are now looking a junior academic interested in research and teaching in the domain of sustainable business. The position is within the Organizations and Management discipline in the Department of Management Studies of Aalto University Business School.
Application Deadline: 28.8.2023
5. Fully Funded PhD Position in Multi-agent Reinforcement Learning and Planning
Summary of PhD Program:
The main task of the PhD student will be to develop new machine learning methods for optimizing multi-agent behavior. The developed methods may be based on one of our focus areas including, but not limited to, reinforcement learning and planning under uncertainty. Example research topics include but are not limited to multi-agent curriculum learning, model-based multi-agent reinforcement learning, and multi-agent planning and control. The developed methods may be evaluated with real robots. The exact direction of the research is chosen depending on your experience and interests. Please relate clearly to some of the research topics in your Letter of Motivation.
Application Deadline: 27.8.2023
6. Fully Funded PhD Position in ICT
Summary of PhD Program:
Researchers from Aalto University and the University of Helsinki are looking for Doctoral Researchers in multiple areas of ICT. We offer an exciting opportunity to join world-class research groups. Our researchers have positions available in the following research areas:
- Algorithms
- Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning
- Computational Health/ Life science informatics

7. Fully Funded PhD Position in Mechanical Engineering
Summary of PhD Program:
The work will take place in the Aalto Biotribology laboratory in Espoo, Otaniemi campus, Finland, under the guidance of Dr Vesa Saikko in a research project funded by the Academy of Finland. The Biotribology laboratory has a history spanning 35 years, and it is a part of Aalto University, Department of Mechanical engineering. Interest in orthopaedic implants is expected. Specifically, the work treats wear and failure mechanisms of total hip prostheses and aims to improve the durability and safety of future implants. The works is experimental, so it is expected that the applicant likes to perform experiments in the laboratory with various test and measurement devices and analyse the results. The researcher will learn to write scientific journal papers, on which the Doctoral Dissertation will be based.

Application Deadline: 11.8.2023
9. Fully Funded PhD Position in Virtual Acoustics
Summary of PhD Program:
In this project, we study the collective experience in a naturalistic, live music performance experience. All subjects have fixed roles, i.e., music performers or audience members. Also, the music performance follows a fixed and repeatable timeline. The collective experience is measured with passive and active methods. Performers and audience members are equipped with physiological measurement devices such as synchronized heart rate measurements, and their movements are tracked with optical tracking. Further, the audience members indicate their valence with a slider during the performance. We explore the contributing social and acoustic factors to the experience based on the gathered data. The research will be done in the Virtual Acoustics research team, led by Prof. Tapio Lokki, whose team is well known for their work on room acoustics, particularly concert hall studies.
Application Deadline: 10.8.2023
10. Fully Funded PhD Position in AI-Assisted Modeling in Economics
Summary of PhD Program:
We are seeking a PhD student interested in developing and applying machine learning approaches to study economic questions. Some possible areas for research include how to incorporate machine learning into game theoretic and mechanism design problems with specific focus on how AI-assistants can be used in the design of robust mechanisms. We welcome strong applicants interested in doing a PhD supervised by Prof. Samuel Kaski from the Finnish Centre for Artificial Intelligence in collaboration with Prof. Otto Toivanen and Prof. Daniel Hauser from Helsinki Graduate School of Economics.
