Lappeenranta University of Technology, LUT. LUT’s Trailblazer strategy is searching for answers to four key questions: Are we going to burn up everything? Is humanity condemned to suffer from the water it has polluted? Will waste be the grave of our future? Will we let Europe degenerate to the world’s back yard? No. We will lead the way with a trailblazer spirit. We have been ranked among the world’s top 600 universities as well as among the best young universities (Times Higher Education). We are compact by size, with intensely focused operations. Combining technology and business, we have served as an academic forerunner since 1969. Our international science community encompasses 6,500 students and experts.

The LUT Doctoral School invites applications for a full-time position of

Junior Researcher aiming for a doctoral degree

in the research field of Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition in the Doctoral Programme in Engineering Science.

The position will be available from 1 January 2018 or as agreed and will focus on the data-driven approach to computational intelligence.

Applicants must hold a Master’s degree (M.Sc. or equivalent) in a relevant discipline, such as computer science and engineering, applied mathematics, artificial intelligence or machine learning, giving eligibility for doctoral studies. Theoretical and practical skills including knowledge of pattern recognition methods is expected, and knowledge of imaging is considered as an advantage. Applicants are also expected to have good programming skills, preferably in Matlab and Python, and to be able to communicate fluently in English. Further information about the related research topics can be found at http://www.it.lut.fi/mvpr/.

Applicants must be able and motivated to complete the doctoral degree in the target time of four years. A scientifically sound research proposal or a description of research ideas or interests as well as a research subject suitable for the doctoral programme in question are essential selection criteria. The selected applicant must apply for the postgraduate study right required for completing the doctoral degree within one year of the beginning of the employment relationship.

Junior researchers aim to complete the doctoral degree in four years. The employment relationship of a junior researcher is fixed-term with a four-month trial period. The position will be available initially for one year and can be extended for another three years, provided that the doctoral studies and research have progressed well. Applicants who already have a doctoral study right at LUT are also eligible, but the maximum duration of the employment relationship will still be four years counting from the beginning of the first employment contract of the junior researcher.

The pay will be determined in accordance with the pay system for university teaching and research staff. The job grade of a junior researcher is 1-4 (EUR 1 808.42 – ۲ ۴۷۵٫۳۱/month). In addition, the salary will include an individual pay component based on performance and competence, amounting to a maximum of 46.3% of the job-specific pay component.

• A curriculum vitae
• Certificates/diplomas: scanned electronic copies of diplomas and transcripts of the records of relevant previous degrees. If the original documents are not in English, Finnish or Swedish, each document must be accompanied by an official certified translation into English or Finnish.
• A research proposal or research idea/interest (max. two pages A4). After the selection, the successful applicant will refine the plans together with the supervisor.
• You may also attach a separate application describing your motivation as a researcher.
• A list of scientific publications (optional).

Candidates may also be interviewed by video, online, or face to face. The steering group of the LUT Doctoral School will select candidates based on proposals from the doctoral programmes. Applicants will be informed of the results by e-mail by the end of November 2017.

Please submit your application by filling out the online application form (link below) with the required attachments. The deadline for applications is ۱۷ September 2017 (at midnight, Finnish local time, UTC + 3hr). Applications received after the deadline will not be considered.
