https://research.cs.aalto.fi/da/jobs/

The research group of Jukka Suomela at Aalto University (Helsinki, 
Finland) is 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 group is now looking for postdoctoral researchers to work 
on the foundations of distributed and parallel computing, in the project 
"Limits of Causal Computation" funded by the Research Council of 
Finland. The candidates 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 3942.55 and 4118.93 EUR per month depending on 
experience and qualifications. These are fixed-term contracts typically 
for 1–2 years.

The starting dates of the contracts are 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 
jukka.suomela at aalto.fi by December 20, 2023. 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 
address, 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.
