1. Fully Funded PhD Position “Aalto support for scholars from Ukraine”
Summary of PhD Program:
Aalto University offers scholars fleeing from Ukraine a possibility to continue their academic work at Aalto University during the war in Ukraine. Aalto accepts applications for temporary visiting scholar positions in Aalto’s research fields (ca 20 positions) from researchers working in Ukraine based universities whose work has been interrupted by the war, and who are fleeing from Ukraine.
Application Deadline: 30.12.2023
2. Fully Funded PhD Position in DNA nanotechnology
Summary of PhD Program:
You will work on design, fabrication, and characterization of electrically driven nanoscale molecular machines. As a member of the group, you will be trained in advanced methods in DNA nanotechnology (especially DNA origami), and state-of-the-art electron beam and optical microscopy and nanoscopy techniques. Depending on the background and scientific interests, your research will be directed either towards i) fabrication of active plasmonic surfaces and biosensors; or ii) construction of artificial molecular motors. We expect you to propose and develop scientific ideas and technical solutions (both individually and as part of a team), write scientific articles and contribute to teaching.
Application Deadline: 31.8.2023

3. 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

Application Deadline: 27.8.2023
5. 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.
Application Deadline: 6.8.2023
6. Fully Funded PhD Position in Spatial Data Science and Sustainable Mobility
Summary of PhD Program:
The work will be done as part of the “MAPICO” project that aims to develop novel methods for quantifying carbon emissions in urban areas due to the daily commute of people on a statistical grid-level. In the project, we will test the methodologies in practice by mapping the commuting-related carbon footprints on a monthly temporal scale in various cities in Finland, Sweden and Norway. We will also investigate how such information could be used in practice for transport planning that could help to achieve more sustainable travel behavior.
Application Deadline: 31.7.2023
7. Fully Funded PhD Position in Sonification of Dance Movements
Summary of PhD Program:
We are looking for a highly motivated and skilled individual to join our research team at Aalto University in the field of Sonification of Human Movements. As part of our multidisciplinary team, you will have the opportunity to contribute to research in the field of sonification and work with us on the Sonic Move – Creative and Expressive Sonification of Human Movement project. The project investigates the use of human body movements in the synthesis of sonic feedback and its use in dance and augmented game applications.
