Aalto University is looking for 16 doctoral researchers in the field of microelectronics as part of MIELi doctoral education pilot. The application closes on 9 June 2024

What is MIELi?

The scientific and societal impact of microelectronics is significant, and we need more doctoral level experts in Finland. MIELi is a doctoral school pilot that aims to speed up and improve doctoral education in microelectronics by collaborating with industry and academia. The doctoral school pilot aims at graduation in 3 years with industrially relevant research topics and immediate employment to companies and business after graduation.

Microelectronics is a constructive and complex research field that requires teamwork, advanced infrastructures and tools, and highly skilled and experienced workforce. Microelectronics is the key enabler for ICT and other sectors, such as healthcare, energy, and transportation.

The demand for experts in the field of microelectronics is already very high and growing, and the opportunities in the job market are numerous and versatile. Microelectronics experts can make a real impact on the world by contributing to technologies critical for the future.

MIELi doctoral education pilot involves Finland’s key players in microelectronics research: Aalto University, Tampere University, University of Oulu and VTT. The universities offer the doctoral positions and education, and VTT supports the pilot by offering visiting researcher positions, infrastructures, and guidance. Altogether 30 doctoral positions are open for applications.
 

For whom?

The pilot is targeted for experienced life-long learners currently working in companies, as well as for candidates that have just graduated. The pilot aims at rapid graduation, for which reason the students must have firm master level education in the field without need for any preparatory or completing studies before the doctoral education.  

Positions

MIELi offers in total 30 doctoral positions distributed for each university (Tampere University, Aalto University and University of Oulu). There are several pre-defined topics available and possibility to propose student’s own topic. Pre-defined topics are provided by the research groups and supervisors listed with the topic title and description. 

We at Aalto University are looking for 16 Doctoral Researchers, and successful candidates will pursue a doctoral degree at Aalto University. The positions are full-time and for three years, during which doctoral studies are expected to be completed. Find more information about the positions at Aalto University here.
