About the University As a University of Applied Learning, SIT works closely with industry in our research pursuits. Our research staff will have the opportunity to be equipped with applied research skill sets that are relevant to industry demands while working on research projects in SIT. The Role We are seeking a highly motivated and talented Research Fellow to join an exciting industry-funded applied research project within the Infocomm Technology cluster at SIT. This project addresses the critical challenge of enabling ultra-reliable low-latency communications (URLLC) with priority-aware offloading for public safety services. The successful candidate will be responsible for the end-to-end investigation of novel edge-assisted computation offloading strategies that leverages edge intelligence. The role will bridge rigorous theoretical work with hands-on offloading algorithm design and development. The core responsibility is to build and validate these offloading strategies, complete with Python application programming interfaces (APIs), through rigorous simulations and proof-of-concept (PoC) trials. This position is ideal for a researcher with a passion for solving complex problems at the intersection of wireless communications, edge computing, and machine learning, and who is eager to translate theoretical insights into practical systems. Key Responsibilities Derive and analyse closed-form mathematical expressions for latency and offloading probabilities across edge-only, cloud-only, and edge-cloud computation offloading algorithms. Design and develop robust Python APIs for edge-only, cloud-only, and edge-cloud computation offloading algorithms. Set up network testbeds integrating hardware, software, and communication protocols to validate edge-only, cloud-only, and edge-cloud computation offloading algorithms. Conduct rigorous simulations and live PoC trials to ensure computation offloading algorithms meets URLLC targets for public safety services. Participate in and manage the research project with Principal Investigator (PI) to ensure all project deliverables are met. Job Requirements A Ph.D./Master’s degree in Computer Engineering, Communications Engineering, Computer Science, or a highly related discipline. A strong theoretical foundation and research background in wireless communications and edge computing. Strong publication track record in top-tier conferences and journals in the areas of wireless communications, IoT, or edge computing. Demonstrated proficiency in software API and algorithm development of edge intelligence algorithms using Python. Knowledge of machine learning or reinforcement learning techniques is highly advantageous. Experience with theoretical wireless network modelling, particularly stochastic geometry or queuing theory, is highly advantageous.

We are seeking a highly motivated and skilled Postdoctoral Researcher to strengthen our research portfolio in near-surface remote sensing of sun-induced fluorescence and boreal forest physiology. The Postdoctoral Researcher will be appointed for a fixed-term of two years starting at the latest in August 2026. You will take a leading role in near-surface remote sensing activities in several large national and international research projects at the Optics of Photosynthesis Lab, including PHOCUS (JAES, 2026-2030), MONOCLE (Research Council of Finland, 2022-2027) and FLEX-N, (European Space Agency, starting 2026). The role requires a diverse skillset, key contributions include field tower and drone SIF sensing, 3D radiative transfer canopy modelling and field trips and campaigns. You will also be expected to write high impact scientific publications and contribute to the Cal/Val activities of the future ESA-FLEX mission in Northern latitudes. In return you get to develop your career at the unique OPL where we conduct curiosity driven basic research at outstanding research facilities in Finland, consistently voted as one of the best places to live and work.  Key responsibilities Coordinate the near-surface SIF and reflectance sensing operations at OPL. Develop and apply 3D canopy radiative transfer methods and their integration with photosynthesis modelling, in collaboration with National and International colleagues. Write high impact scientific publications. Contribute to project reporting activities. Contribute to student supervision and teaching (5% of time) in MSc and PhD programmes within the Department of Forest Sciences and the Institute of Atmospheric and Earth System Sciences. Required qualifications and skills PhD in near surface remote sensing or closely related field (e.g., biometereology) (The doctoral degree must be granted before the beginning of employment.) Demonstrated experience in Solar-Induced Fluorescence Familiarity with plant sciences, plant ecophysiology, ecology. Significant field work experience in challenging conditions a driving license that can be easily transferred to Finland Programming experience in at least two of Python, Julia, Matlab, R, Fortran, IDL Desirable experience or assets: Radiative transfer modeling. Knowledge of Finnish language (B1 or B2) Experience in conducting drone-based measurements Experience working at large research infrastructures. What do we offer The Optics of Photosynthesis Laboratory (OPL) is a small and highly international group composed of some 10-15 researchers (https://blogs.helsinki.fi/optics-of-photosynthesis/). Our Laboratory develops methods and theory to facilitate the interpretation of optical data acquired from leaves, plants and entire ecosystems, in terms of plant functional traits such as photosynthesis. We collaborate with a wide range of scientists and communities from molecular biologists to Earth System Scientists, from companies to artists. OPL is integrated within the multidisciplinary Department of Forest Sciences (https://www.helsinki.fi/en/faculty-agriculture-and-forestry/research/disciplines/forest-sciences), the Faculty of Agriculture and Forestry (https://www.helsinki.fi/en/faculty-agriculture-and-forestry) and the Institute for Atmospheric and Earth System Research (INAR, https://www.helsinki.fi/en/inar). We will also support your academic career development in terms of opportunities for postgraduate supervision, own funding acquisition, teaching and career development activities. The salary of the postdoctoral researcher will be based on level 5 of the requirement level chart for teaching and research personnel at the University of Helsinki. In addition, the appointee will be paid a salary component based on personal performance. The starting salary is typically around 3700–4000 euros per month depending on the appointee’s qualifications and experience. A six-month trial period will be applied.
