The research groups of Jukka Suomela and Jara Uitto at Aalto University 
(Helsinki, Finland) are among the leading research groups in the areas 
of theory of distributed and parallel computing. Our work frequently 
appears in the top conferences of the field and we have received a 
number of awards, e.g. the best paper award at FOCS 2019.

Our research groups are now looking for several

postdoctoral researchers

and/or

doctoral students

to work on the foundations of distributed and parallel computing. The 
candidates are funded by the following research projects supported by 
the Academy of Finland:

“Local Checking, Solving, and Mending—New Perspectives on Distributed 
Computing”

“Massively Parallel Algorithms for Large-Scale Graph Problems”

“Parallel and distributed computing for Bayesian graphical models”.

The candidates for the postdoctoral researcher positions are expected to 
have a doctoral degree and relevant publications in leading conferences 
or journals. A good command of English is necessary. In addition to 
research work, postdocs participate in the supervision of students and 
teaching. The salary for the position is between 3660 and 3840 EUR per 
month depending on experience and qualifications. These are fixed-term 
contracts typically for 1–2 years.

The candidates for the doctoral student positions are expected to have a 
Master's degree and a good command of English. The starting salary for 
the position is 2537 EUR per month. The expected length of the doctoral 
studies in Finland is 4 years.

The starting dates of the contracts are also negotiable, and we can 
offer flexible terms of employment. In addition to the salary, the 
contracts include occupational health benefits. Finland has a 
comprehensive social security system and is particularly suitable for 
families. Diversity is part of who we are, and we actively work to 
ensure our community’s diversity and inclusiveness in the future as 
well; this is why we warmly encourage qualified candidates from all 
backgrounds to join our community.

To apply for the positions, please send an email to both 
jukka.suomela at aalto.fi and jara.uitto at aalto.fi by the end of August 
2020. Your application should be a single PDF file that contains a cover 
letter, your CV and list of publications, a brief research statement, 
and the relevant transcripts of studies and certificates of the degrees. 
Please also ask two or three senior academics to send their 
recommendation letters to the same email addresses, by the same 
deadline. While all applicants who have submitted an application by the 
deadline will be appropriately considered, Aalto University reserves the 
right to consider also other candidates for the announced positions.
