Aalto University/Three tenure track positions

[Ilkka Niemelä]

Aalto University School of Science, Helsinki, Finland
Three tenured or tenure track positions

Aalto University (http://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 Department of Information and
Computer Science (http://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 tenured or for
a fixed term. Full Professor positions are always tenured.

The focus of the 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.

The Department currently has 10 professors and 40 other doctoral-level
staff, including postdoctoral researchers. Research groups in the
Department carry out basic research in several pertinent areas of
information and computer science, covering, for example, statistical
machine learning, algorithmic data analysis and efficient discrete
methods. A full list of the Department´s research groups is available at
http://research.ics.tkk.fi/. The present call for applications covers
all areas of information and computer science compatible with the
Department´s research and teaching mission. Special consideration will
be given to candidates with research fields complementing and supporting
the current strong areas of the ICS Department.
