Three tenure track or tenured positions in Information and Computer Science

Aalto University (aalto.fi/en/) is a new university created in 2010 from the merger of the Helsinki University of Technology TKK, the Helsinki School of Economics, and the University of Art and Design Helsinki.

The positions are located at the University's Department of Information and Computer Science (ics.tkk.fi/en/), and are open to outstanding individuals who hold a doctorate and have excellent potential for a successful scientific career. On the basis of their experience and competence, applicants will be placed at one of the four levels of the tenure track system: Assistant Professor (1), Assistant Professor (2), Associate Professor, and (Full) Professor. Successful candidates at the two first-mentioned levels would be appointed for a fixed term, whilst appointments at the Associate Professor level are either permanent (tenured) or for a fixed term. Full Professor positions are always tenured.

The focus of the Information and Computer Science Department's research and teaching activity is on advanced computational methods for modelling, analysing, and solving complex tasks in technology and science. The research aims at the development of fundamental computer science methods for the analysis of large and high-dimensional data sets, and for the modelling and design of complex software, networking and other computational systems.

• In the recent Research Assessment Exercise covering all the 46 academic units of Aalto University, the Department was identified as one of the select two highest-ranking performers (RAE score 24/25) and as "one of the top five centres in the world in their research area".
• The present call for applications covers all areas of information and computer science compatible with the Department's research and teaching mission indicated above. Special consideration will be given to candidates with research fields complementing and supporting the current strong areas of the Department. A joint appointment with the Helsinki Institute for Information Technology HIIT (hiit.fi/) can be negotiated.
