The program will hire 85 postdoctoral researchers to 12 Finnish government research institutes between 2025 and 2028. Postdoctoral researchers will drive impactful, high-level research bridging science, industry, and administration.
The programme is supported by Finland’s long-term R&D funding. The purpose of State’s R&D funding, together with R&D investments from the businesses sector, is to raise Finland’s R&D expenditure to 4% of GDP by 2030.
Rapid global changes and societal challenges—such as climate change, inequality, urbanization, and pandemics—demand new approaches to policy-making.
The postdoctoral research advances on LiDAR data processing to address challenges of large datasets from multi-modal and multi-temporal acquisition with high spatial-temporal resolution.
Global biodiversity loss threatens ecosystem stability, food security, and human health worldwide. To better understand and quantify human impacts on ecosystems, assessment methods for estimating biodiversity footprints have been developed.
My research focuses on improving in situ characterization of fractured crystalline rocks to reduce uncertainties in flow, heat, and solute transport modeling, which is critical for safe nuclear waste disposal, geothermal energy use, and underground energy storage.
Increased segregation is a general trend that can be observed in many Finnish cities over recent decades.
I investigates how optical atomic clock-based geopotential measurements can be integrated with existing geodetic techniques (GNSS, gravimetry, leveling) to improve the accuracy and temporal stability of Finland’s vertical reference frame.
