The Faculty of Medicine at the University of Helsinki is announcing a fixed-term, full-time doctoral researcher position for 3 years, commencing in February 2025, with flexibility on the starting date, and extending until January 2028.

We are searching for a highly motivated and dedicated doctoral researcher to contribute to the Academy of Finland funded international project META: Self-Programmable Metasurface Networks for Wireless Communications and IoT. The project will address key questions concerning materials and devices, network science and embedded intelligence, and human interactions that could impact the development of future communication systems. Our team will focus on (a) user needs and expectations related to metasurfaces, (b) how metasurfaces induce changes in work and study behavior and communication patterns, and (c) developing optimized human-metasurface interfaces (potentially also a brain-metasurface interface).

Role Requirements
1. A Master's degree or equivalent (e.g., licentiate), or imminent completion of such, preferably in psychology, social psychology, cognitive science, computer science, or a related field.
2. Strong scientific curiosity, meticulous work ethic, and excellent time management.
3. Prior experience in HCI will be considered beneficial.
4. Excellent communication skills in spoken and written English.
5. The ability to work effectively both independently and as part of a team.

Remuneration and Benefits
The starting salary will be set on level 2 of the national salary scale for teaching and research staff at Finnish universities, with a range of 2200-2600 euros/month (pre-tax). Salary progression to levels 2-4 will be contingent on the appointee's qualifications and experience. A six-month trial period applies. The University of Helsinki offers comprehensive services to its employees, including occupational health care, access to top-tier sports facilities, and abundant opportunities for professional development.

1. A motivation letter outlining your previous knowledge and research interests, career goals, and why you are the perfect fit for this role.

3. Certificates/Diplomas: Scanned copies of diplomas and transcripts of relevant previous degrees. If original documents are not in English, Finnish, or Swedish, please provide an official certified translation into English or Finnish.
