• The applicant must be in possession of Master of Science (MSc) diploma in a relevant field, such as: electrical engineering, communications engineering, software engineering/computer science, signal processing, radio communications, mathematics, physics, aerospace engineering, mechanical engineering, biomedical engineering, etc.

Applications:

• Applications to be submitted online with the following documents:
• Certified copies of the bachelor’s and master’s degree certificates and the transcripts with official translations into English (if the original documents are in a language other than Finnish, English, Romanian, Czech, Italian, or Spanish).
• A Diploma Supplement (DS) as approved by the EU Commission for degrees completed in European universities (when applicable)
• English language certificate, for example one of the followings:
• CV (preferably in Europass format)
• List of publications (if any)
• Minimum 2 reference letters to be attached to the application and contact details of 2 or more referees included in the CV
• Motivation letter (max 1 page) with introduction and qualifications; previous research fields and main research results may be included.
• A short essay called “Dissertation Proposal” (max 2 pages) explaining how the candidate would address the research objectives mentioned at the chosen position
• Copy of the passport
• Proof of residence: Statement and certificates/documents demonstrating your residence(s) in the last 5 years
