1. Fully Funded PhD Position in mechanics of lattice materials
Summary of PhD Program:
Lattice materials are interconnected arrays of struts, like honeycombs, and they possess remarkable properties: they are among the stiffest, strongest, and lightest materials available today. Lattices have a major advantage over conventional engineering materials: their topology can be designed to achieve new and unique combinations of mechanical properties. The objective of this project will be to tailor the architecture of lattices to increase their resistance to crack propagation. To achieve this, you will perform a wide range of finite element simulations and validate these predictions with mechanical tests on lattices produced by additive manufacturing.

3. Fully Funded PhD Position in Digital Waters (DIWA) Doctoral Pilot
Summary of PhD Program:
DIWA doctoral pilot positions are funded by the Ministry of Education and Culture. The research themes of the open positions are linked to DIWA Flagship (www.digitalwaters.fi, https://digitalwaters.fi/phd-pilot/apply/ ) funded by Research Council of Finland. The flagship is a leading research and innovation ecosystem, bringing research and new innovations together to support decision-making and management in the water sector – digitally. DIWA enables a transition towards the digital representation of real-world water systems (Digital Twin) to reproduce hydrological storages, their states, fluxes and processes, as well as ecosystem responses with novel options for improved scenario analyses, planning and governance.

4. 02 Fully Funded PhD Position in Photonics
Summary of PhD Program:
You will mainly be working in the Micronova facility. Micronova’s facilities allow flexible processing and integration of micro- and nanoelectronic, micromechanical, photonic and fluidic devices. Substrate materials include silicon, III-V semiconductors, glass and quartz. The main wafer size is 150 mm, but also 200 mm and 100mm are supported for some processes. For some purposes even smaller samples are used. All necessary main process technologies are available, including optical and nanolithography, CMOS and BiCMOS, dry and wet etching, focused ion beam milling, micropackaging, wafer bonding, thin film processing and epitaxial deposition.

5. Fully Funded PhD Position in Materials Engineering for Efficient Green Ammonia Production
Summary of PhD Program:
Join us in this challenging endeavour of developing the key materials and methods for green transition! Ammonia is one of the most produced compounds in the world (~150 million tons per year), and a vital raw material for various important substances, such as fertilizers. It is also a promising green hydrogen carrier and zero-carbon fuel. Currently, ammonia is produced by energy-hungry Haber-Bosch synthesis using fossil-originated hydrogen. Lithium-mediated nitrogen reduction (LiNR) has demonstrated significant promise in ambient-condition electrochemical ammonia synthesis.

7. Fully Funded PhD Position in Field of Experimental Condensed Matter Physics (Low Dimensional Correlated Materials)
Summary of PhD Program:
The goal of the doctoral researcher is to study emergent electronic phenomena in artificial atomic lattice systems in monolayer van der Waals materials. Prototypical examples of these systems include transition metal atoms deposited on the surfaces of monolayer transition metal dichalcogenide superconductors, Mott insulators, ferromagnets etc. The doctoral researcher will utilize molecular beam epitaxy and atomic deposition techniques to synthesize these novel materials and the adatoms and characterize their atomic scale electronic properties using low-temperature scanning tunneling microscopy and spectroscopy.

8. Fully Funded PhD Position in Characterization, aging and modelling of polymeric fire-stop materials
Summary of PhD Program:
Fire-stops are used in many industrial and residential buildings to ensure fire compartmentation within fire-resistant walls and floors with cable or pipe penetrations. Fire-stop materials range from cementitious, cast-in-place materials to functional polymers and modular systems that react and deform when heated. In the context of nuclear power plant fire safety, the aging of fire-stop materials is a concern when the working life of the operating plants is extended with tens of years. Numerical modelling capabilities are needed, when assessing the performance of fire-stops in non-tested applications.

9. Fully Funded PhD Position in audio and statistical signal processing
Summary of PhD Program:
The research will be in the framework of the project “AESIR – Acoustic Estimation and Interpolation fRamework”, focusing on the modeling of acoustic environments and their effect on audio signals. In particular, the research is concerned with the estimation, sampling, and interpolation of acoustic transfer functions and impulse responses that characterize an acoustic environment. The applications of the research range from noise reduction and speech enhancement in hearing aids to rendering of sound in augmented/virtual reality.

10. Fully Funded PhD Position in wave-ice interaction through laboratory experiments
Summary of PhD Program:
Marginal ice zone (MIZ) is the transition from ice-free ocean to the pack ice, characterized by ice-ocean dynamics and discrete ice floes. In MIZ, waves have an effect on sea ice and sea ice effects the waves. We can assume that with global warming the MIZs of the oceans will grow in size, because the thinner ice of the future will break more easily than the thicker ice of yesterday. If earlier either thick ice or high waves were challenging for ships and offshore windfarms, we now need to consider also the situation where ice and waves occur at the same time. The sea ice landscape has changed: What was marginal, is now important.
