Department: Bioinformatics Core Facility – Central European Institute of Technology Deadline: 29 Jul 2026 Start date: September - December 2026 Job type: full-time Job field: Science and research Come to CEITEC MU in Brno and join us! We are a dynamic, growing team of bioinformaticians and data scientists at CEITEC, building the European infrastructure for secure, federated analysis of sensitive genomic and health data – and we are looking for a Senior Researcher / Staff Scientist in Federated Genomic Data Infrastructure About this position The Bioinformatics Core Facility at CEITEC works on the infrastructure for storing, sharing, and – above all – performing federated analysis on sensitive genomic and other omics data across Europe. Through the ELIXIR research infrastructure and initiatives such as the Genomic Data Infrastructure (GDI), the 1+Million Genomes (1+MG) initiative, and Genome of Europe, we are one of the major players in this field in Europe. This is highly collaborative, distributed work. Much of it does not happen within a single lab but across a network of partners – institutional IT teams, national infrastructure bodies, and collaborators across Europe – and our role is to coordinate and integrate these efforts, keeping them moving. A growing and increasingly important part of the work is enabling AI, and in particular agentic AI systems, to operate safely on sensitive data within this distributed infrastructure, in service of translational and clinical research and the wider handling of sensitive healthcare data. We are looking for a senior, independent researcher / staff scientist to take a leading technical role across these projects – someone who can drive their own work, coordinate and mentor more junior colleagues, and act as a confident point of contact with our partners. This is a highly visible, Europe-wide role at the intersection of software engineering, data science, and the life sciences, and it is fundamentally about handling a complex, multi-party effort rather than working in isolation. Your profile Must-have: A PhD (or equivalent experience). We have no hard requirement on the specific field, provided it falls within the range from bioinformatics through to computer science and IT/software development, or a closely related technical area Solid, hands-on experience spanning bioinformatics analysis and workflows, bioinformatics infrastructure and software for data analysis, and/or broader IT and software development, in a rapidly evolving environment where AI is becoming inherent to everything we do; experience with omics and multi-omics data is a strong plus. The ability to work independently and largely unsupervised, taking ownership of projects from idea to delivery Comfort coordinating a distributed, multi-party effort – connecting contributions across teams and partners and keeping work moving forward Excellent communication skills, with the versatility to speak the language of both IT/engineering and of biologists and clinicians The ability to present ideas and results clearly, and to guide and coordinate more junior members of the team Fluency in English (spoken and written) Nice-to-have: Experience with sensitive / health data, federated analysis or federated learning, cloud, and containerized infrastructure Interest or experience in enabling AI – including agentic AI systems – to work with sensitive data Experience working in international or European collaborative projects A collaborative mindset and the curiosity to keep learning in a fast-moving field What we provide to you A senior role in a dynamic, young, and growing team working on Europe-wide, genuinely meaningful problems A highly competitive salary Open access to CEITEC MU core facilities and state-of-the-art computing infrastructure, with experienced staff Full-time contract Flexible working hours Support for further education and professional development Benefits package: 6 weeks of paid holiday, medical insurance, financial contribution to meals and kindergarten/pension scheme, Multisport card, mental health care, and sports lessons directly at the Kindergarten Elánek on Campus Support in these areas: Welcome Office service before and after arrival Grant Office support Postdoc Peer Committee CEITEC events workshops, conferences, lectures, training, family gatherings, etc. How to apply? Application deadline: 29.07.2026 Start date: September - December 2026 Applications, including a CV, a list of publications, and a motivation letter with contacts for at least two references, should be submitted via the e-application below.

The Faculty of Social Sciences of the University of Helsinki invites applications for the position of DOCTORAL RESEARCHER IN THE ANTHROPOLOGY OF HUMANITARIANISM for a fixed term period of four years, starting on 20 November 2026.  The position is part of the project New Humanitarian Infrastructures at the End of Aid, funded by the Research Council of Finland and led by Dr. Stefan Millar. The project examines transformations in humanitarian systems amid the global withdrawal of international aid, focusing on humanitarian contexts in Kenya and transnational diaspora networks in Canada. ABOUT THE PROJECT The New Humanitarian Infrastructures at the End of Aid project studies how humanitarian infrastructures are emerging, being remade or falling into ruination following the end of global commitment to international aid, exemplified by the withdrawal of USAID in 2025. The project aims to contribute to wider debates on the future of humanitarianism while working with refugees to expose and generate alternatives to contemporary humanitarianism. Rather than treating humanitarian infrastructures as exclusively institutional systems, the project conceptualizes them as assemblages of physio-technological systems and social relations of diverse actors, material arrangements, and transnational connections. Empirically, the project focuses on Kenya but is open to research being conducted in alternative humanitarian contexts. The project approaches these infrastructural transformations through four themes: State infrastructures: examines the expanding role of the state in humanitarian contexts, focusing on how state-led initiatives and programs are reshaping humanitarianism. Refugee-led infrastructures: explores how refugees generate alternatives to the top-down and neocolonial humanitarian system by organizing and creating infrastructures such as community-based organizations or mobilizing political movements that challenge current humanitarian operations. Transnational remittance infrastructures: analyzes how the financial and digital networks connecting diaspora communities across borders may serve as alternative forms of aid distribution.  Corporate infrastructures: investigates the growing role of private-sector actors and digital systems in humanitarian governance. This includes the incorporation of financial platforms and emerging technologies such as generative AI, which are increasingly used in humanitarian prediction and resource distribution. ABOUT THE POST We are looking for a doctoral researcher who will undertake a doctoral project within the framework of the wider research project. While we expect the research plan to align with the key themes of the research project, specifically those related to state, refugee and corporate infrastructures, applicants are encouraged to implement approaches to the topic relevant to their own expertise and scholarly interest. The main task of the appointed doctoral researcher is to conduct independent research in a selected humanitarian context in Kenya (or a relevant alternative site). Methodologically, the research project will be ethnographic, but the doctoral researcher is encouraged to engage with other methods, such as collaborative research. The appointee will play a key role in project implementation and will be expected to complete a PhD monograph or article-based PhD based on the empirical material produced, as well as participating in project communications, collaborating with partner organizations, organizing project events and other tasks relating to the project. Duties will also include teaching (up to 5% of annual working time). QUALIFICATIONS AND SELECTION CRITERIA Applicants must hold a master’s degree in social and cultural anthropology or another field relevant to the research topic (e.g. human geography, development studies, migration and refugee studies, sociology, public health, political science, peace and conflict research). The default assumption is that the master's degree requirement must be met by the beginning of the employment. They must have proven ability and motivation to pursue postgraduate studies and a doctoral degree according to the study plan and research proposal, evidenced by previous degree studies or other activities. The appointee will need to have secured the right to pursue a doctoral degree at the University of Helsinki by the start of the appointment, or must apply for the right and obtain it within the six-month probationary period. Further information can be obtained online. Applicants’ skills and motivation to conduct research on this project will be evaluated on the basis of their application documents and an interview. The successful candidate will have excellent analytic and writing skills and will be able to conduct independent work. We strongly encourage candidates of refugee and/or East African background to apply. Experience of working, researching or living in a humanitarian context in Kenya or another country is extremely welcome and we encourage candidates to include such experiences in their application. We also appreciate language skills relevant for research project (e.g. Swahili, Arabic, Somali etc.). The appointee will be expected to reside in Finland while employed by the University of Helsinki. The International Services team will provide assistance with relocation. WHAT WE OFFER The University of Helsinki is an equal opportunities employer and offers an attractive and diverse workplace in an inspiring environment with a range of benefits. The annual gross salary will range from approximately €32,000 to €42,000 for the doctoral researcher depending on qualifications and experience.
