3. Fully Funded PhD Position in Population Health
Summary of PhD Program:
The doctoral researcher will work in a European TRIGGER project (SoluTions foR mItiGatinG climate-induced hEalth tReaths) studying the linkage between climate, ecosystems, and health. The TRIGGER consortium includes 22 partners from 15 European countries that will develop an outreaching clinical study composed by a multi-dimensional approach. As a doctoral researcher you will be involved in high quality international research together with multidisciplinary research consortium. Your research will focus on the association between climate change and health, particularly on cardiovascular and respiratory diseases. You will also take part in collecting data from hospitalized patients in close collaboration with the Oulu University Hospital. Your tasks will also include collaboration with stakeholders, such as local non-governmental organizations and local decision makers.
Application Deadline: 01.Oct.2023
4. Fully Funded PhD Position in Molecular Microbiology and Bioinformatics
Summary of PhD Program:
As a Doctoral Researcher, you will perform laboratory experiments to isolate and identify new microbial species, design and create fluorescent strains for microscopy, and handle and analyze metagenomic sequencing data. Thus, solid skills and knowledge in microbiological or molecular biological laboratory work and bioinformatics are required. During the project, the Doctoral Researcher will gain comprehensive knowledge and hands-on experience in establishing and running scientific experiments involving plants and microbes. Also, the candidate will learn how to analyze the outcomes by utilizing various bioinformatics and image analysis techniques in collaboration with the research team. The Doctoral Researcher will benefit from international visits to labs or research partners out of Finland during the project.
Application Deadline: 15.Oct.2023
5. Fully Funded PhD Position in Particle Engineering
Summary of PhD Program:
This position is a part of European Doctoral Training Network project CONTRABASS (DC Project 2 – “carbonation of magnesium silicates and synergy with calcium silicates”). Cement is one of the biggest polluters and responsible for 8% of all anthropogenic CO2 emissions. At the same time, cement offers an optimal carbon capture and storage (CCU) opportunity due to massive volumes and favourable chemistry. Your research will concentrate on developing advanced cement-like materials, focusing on chemical reactions, microstructure and material properties. Your task will be to carry out multidisciplinary research with state-of-the art methods, including laboratory work, inorganic material analyses, as well as computer modelling.
Application Deadline: 31.Oct.2023
6. Fully Funded PhD Position in Machine Vision and Signal Analysis
Summary of PhD Program:
The main research interests of CMVS are in computer vision and machine learning, affective computing, multimodal image and signal analysis, low-energy computing, and applications in affective human-computer interaction, biometrics, augmented reality, and biomedicine. In physiological signal analysis, basic, applied, and translational research in biomedical engineering is carried out to tackle key challenges of next-generation personalized medicine and wellness solutions. In its field, the Research Unit is globally highly ranked with research activities based on international collaborations.

7. Fully Funded PhD Position in Steel Research
Summary of PhD Program:
The Materials Engineering research team focuses on investigating and modeling the formation of surface defects in Ultra-High-Strength Steels (UHSS) and Advanced High-Strength Steels (AHSS) in a modern minimill concept. This research is conducted in close collaboration with SSAB, a leading fossil-free steel manufacturer. The primary goal is to gain insights into the process and develop models that can accurately predict surface defects in UHSS and AHSS. The research will contribute to optimizing the production process and enhancing the quality of these steels. The experiments are carried out in SSAB Europe Oy Raahe mill (steel quality and process development) and University of Oulu (physical simulation and microstructural characterization).

8. Fully Funded PhD Position in Physical metallurgy and Modelling
Summary of PhD Program:
The doctoral researcher will join the Materials and Mechanical Engineering (MME) research unit to work mainly on experimentation, and characterization of steel microstructures after thermomechanical processes. Also, the research will involve some use of numerical simulation tools (heat transfer, conduction, and phase transformations). The present work is connected to the EU funded project, AI Powered Characterization and Modelling for Green Steel Technology (AID4GREENEST). In addition, it is important that the doctoral researcher takes care of handling the obtained data in appropriate format so that it can be used by other research partners during and after the project. This will enable the use of AI tools, developed by the research partners, for predicting microstructure evolution. The fast models can then be applied for predicting the steel microstructure after processing.
