Call for Proposals: Two Postdoctoral Positions in Quantum Technology The Finnish Ministry of Education and Culture has announced additional support for national doctoral education pilot in quantum technology (QDOC) aimed at postdoc recruitments. The focus is on supporting the training and supervision of the 90 doctoral students who are currently enrolled under QDOC across Finland. QDOC team invites applications for two postdoctoral positions that combines research with the development and delivery of a course or training module aimed at QDOC students nationally. The duration for each position is one year, with the possibility of extension for an additional year. While the positions are formally hosted at Aalto University, the employee may, at their own discretion, pursue a visitor agreement with a QDOC host university, subject to agreement by Aalto University and the host university of the visit. Applicants should include a brief plan for potential visits in their application. We are open to research backgrounds in both academic and industrial environments. Your role and goals The postdoc must develop and deliver a course or training activity equivalent to 5 ECTS credits, targeted at QDOC students nationally, during the funding period. The course or activity focus may be technical (e.g. quantum science and technology, methods etc.) or general (e.g. scientific communication, supervision, entrepreneurship etc.). Co-supervision of QDOC students within the funding period is considered an advantage. We expect the candidates to have: Completed a PhD degree in a field complementary to the goals of QDOC. The candidate must show evidence of good written and oral communication skills in English. What we offer The positions are hosted at Aalto University under full-time employment agreement. The postdoc contracts will initially be made for 1 year. Employees could work remotely according to Aalto University’s remote work policy. Aalto University follows the salary system of Finnish universities. The salary ranges for a postdoc from 4138 € to 4549 € per month, depending on previous experience. The contract includes Aalto University occupational healthcare. Join us! The deadline for applications is 10.05.2026. To apply for the position, please submit your application including the attachments mentioned below as one single PDF document (max 2 pages) in English through our online recruitment system by clicking “Apply now!” button in our web page. Brief CV of applicant and research focus (max 1 page). Course or training activity concept with a short description of its contents and format (max 1 page). Role of applicant in co-supervision of QDOC students (if any). Please note: Aalto University’s employees should apply for the position via our internal HR system Workday (Internal Jobs) by using their existing Workday user account (not via the external webpage for open positions). If you are a student or visitor at Aalto University, please apply with your personal email address (not aalto.fi) via Aalto University open positions For more information about the role, please contact QDOC Director Prof. Adam Foster adam.foster@aalto.fi and Finnish Quantum Flagship Manager Dr. Mahdi Moghaddam mahdi.moghaddam@aalto.fi. For additional information on the application process contact Minni Forss, HR Advisor minni.forss@aalto.fi. We will go through applications, and we may invite suitable candidates to interview already during the application period. We aim for a prompt evaluation process, with both positions expected to begin on 01.06.2026.

2026 Early Career Researcher Fellowships (Commencing 2027) McKenzie | Mary Lugton | Puzey Postdoctoral Fellowships Please ensure to put your application through via this link. Note that applications will not be accepted if not applied via the above link through SmartyGrants. The University of Melbourne invites Expressions of Interest (EOIs) for the 2026 Early Career Researcher Fellowships, with appointments commencing in 2027. This annual round encompasses three competitive schemes: the McKenzie, Mary Lugton, and Puzey Postdoctoral Fellowships. ABOUT THE FELLOWSHIP SCHEMES McKenzie Postdoctoral Fellowships The McKenzie scheme supports outstanding early-career researchers and offers up to sixteen fellowships per year, with at least two reserved for Indigenous researchers. Mary Lugton Postdoctoral Fellowships This year, the scheme supports outstanding early‑career researchers specifically in the fields of Science and Engineering, enabling them to build research momentum and establish the foundations for long‑term academic careers. Puzey Postdoctoral Fellowships In 2026, this scheme supports Australian early‑career researchers who aspire to pursue research careers within the Faculty of Engineering and Information Technology (FEIT). FELLOWSHIP BENEFITS Three-year full-time appointment at Level A.6 plus superannuation Up to $25,000 in project funding Access to mentoring and ECR development programs Commencement between 4 January and 30 June 2027 ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS General Eligibility Applicants must have completed all PhD requirements in a discipline relevant to their application from a university in any country, including Australia and the University of Melbourne no later than 7 May 2026. PhD requirements must be completed by the EOI no earlier than 1 April 2023. Current UoM academic staff may apply if casual, fixed-term, or CRC. An EOI will not be accepted if applicants have not met the PhD requirements by the EOI closing date.

Organisation: Cranfield University Faculty or Department: Faculty of Engineering and Applied Sciences Based at: Cranfield Campus, Cranfield, Bedfordshire Hours of work: 37 hours per week, normally worked Monday to Friday. Flexible working will be considered. Contract type: Fixed term contract Fixed Term Period: For 12 months Salary: Full time starting salary is normally in the range of £37,897 per annum Apply by: 10/05/2026 Role Description We welcome applications from passionate, skilled, committed prospective plant and soil modellers to contribute to a multi-partner international project ‘Climate-resilient crops with improved phosphorous efficiency through beneficial fungal interactions’. About the Role In many parts of the world, excessive use of phosphorous (P) fertilisers in agricultural soil has led to large-scale contamination of the environment. On the other hand, in other areas, P-deficient soils and poor access to fertilisers present a major constraint to crop production. Warmer, drier conditions resulting from climate change will exacerbate these problems, as low soil moisture reduces plant-availability of P. In natural systems, most plants rely on root symbioses with mutualistic mycorrhizal fungi for efficient P uptake. These interactions remain active in major crop species. However, the delicate balance between plant and fungal partner is far from optimised for both intensive and less intensive agricultural systems. In the project to which this role will contribute, we will characterise plant genetic mechanisms that coordinate the interaction of mycorrhizal fungi with plant P and water status, the development of the root system, and the broader community of soil microbes. With partners at Cambridge University, and in Germany and the US, we will work from the scale of the single gene to field evaluation to define a framework for rational optimisation of plant-mycorrhizal symbioses for more efficient P use in agriculture. The modelling component will involve combining existing models of root system growth, rhizosphere processes and P uptake developed by the project partners and developing new models of the effects and costs of mycorrhizal symbioses. About You You will be educated to doctoral level in a relevant subject and have experience of research in plant and soil science, using both qualitative and quantitative methods. You will have some experience in mathematical modelling and basic-level programming, but our main requirement is for someone who will understand the plant and soil science behind the project and be able to translate that into models using the results of the experimental working. You will have excellent oral and written communication skills, and the ability to collaborate across disciplines.
