Expression of Interest must be in PDF-format and consist of a CV adhering to the MSCA IF format, a one-page summary of the research proposal (see below) and the preferred research group’s name

Horizon 2020 MSCA IF deadline: 14 September 2017.

Horizon 2020 MSCA IF eligibility criteria:

  1. Applicant has a doctoral degree or at least four years’ full-time research experience by the time of the call deadline.
  2. The applicant must not have resided or carried out his/her main activity (work, studies, etc.) in Finland for more than 12 months between 15.9.2014 and 14.9.2017.

 

Tampere is one of Finland’s fastest growing urban centres and a popular city to live and study in. Tampere is home to more than 200,000 people. Tampere University of Technology (TUT) is an active scientific community of 2,000 employees and more than 10,000 students. The University operates in the form of a foundation and has a long-standing tradition of collaboration with other research institutions and business life. We actively contribute to the creation of new business opportunities, companies and jobs arising from our research. We strengthen the industrial competitiveness and export industry of Finland. Many of the fields of research and study represented at the University play a key role in addressing global challenges. The most extensive and established of the international leading-edge fields of research at TUT are signal processing, optics and photonics, and intelligent machines. Internationality is an inherent part of all TUT’s activities.

In recognition of development activities related to research careers and the position of researchers at the University, the European Commission awarded TUT the right to use the HR Excellence in Research logo in 2014. Fellows will have access to transferable skills trainings and if suitable, they will be seconded to industry all with the purpose for further development of their careers in the academic and non-academic sector. We aspire to be the best university employer in Finland.

Welcome to join us at TUT!

Strategic research areas at TUT:

Health technology

The key to our success in health- and biotechnology research is our close and multidisciplinary collaboration with biologists and clinicians. We place special emphasis on diagnostic and regenerative technologies and develop new methods for monitoring and maintaining human health. We are internationally recognized for our expertise in biomodelling. Our distinctive and scientifically ambitious research is geared towards applications that improve the quality of people’s lives.

Digital operating environment

The transition into the digital age opens up unprecedented opportunities for the interaction between people and machines. We build a better future by processing and analysing exponentially growing volumes of data and pursuing radical new avenues of research. We explore technologies for transferring data between machines. Our University enjoys a reputation for research excellence in signal processing. We are seeking to become the world’s foremost hub of research in intelligent machines and networked systems.

Energy- and eco-efficiency

Effective use of energy and raw materials cuts costs and helps protect the environment. We study and develop new technologies and materials for energy production, intelligent energy systems and for improving life-cycle performance and environmental impact management. We maintain a world-class research infrastructure that supports research in the field of energy-efficient construction. Our goal is to establish an international reputation for research in circular economy.

Light-based technologies

The science of light underpins much of modern science, technology and data communications. Our University is one of the world’s leading centres for photonics research. We develop new laser sources and methods for the sophisticated control and utilization of the properties of light. Together with new photosensitive materials, they drive the development of unique new applications in multiple areas. We conduct research in the fields of photonic materials and ultrafast, nonlinear phenomena with the aim of accelerating scientific and technological breakthroughs.
