More than 5,500 students are enrolled in undergraduate and postgraduate courses, and the university has an alumni network representing 56 regions of Russia and 26 countries globally.
The university teaches predominantly across social sciences and linguistics, but also offers courses in business and tourism, politics and law among others.
Various scientific research and international conferences are held at the university through the year.
The university also offers a popular Russian language summer school to non-native speakers over two or four weeks.
Pyatigorsk State Linguistic University prides itself on nurturing creativity among its student community, and students are involved in organising a number of festivals and shows through the year. The student club on campus also offers more than 30 extracurricular interest groups including music, a club for classic art lovers, poetry and dance groups.

Maynooth University

Finland

Aalto University is a community of bold thinkers where science and art meet technology and business. We are committed to identifying and solving grand societal challenges and building an innovative future. Aalto has six schools with 14 000 students and a staff of 5000, of which more than 400 are professors. Our main campus is located in Espoo, Finland. Diversity is part of who we are, and we actively work to ensure our community’s diversity and inclusiveness. This is why we warmly encourage qualified candidates from all backgrounds to join our community.

The School of Electrical Engineering is one of the six schools of Aalto University. Our portfolio covers fields from natural sciences to engineering and information sciences. In parallel with basic research, we develop ideas and technologies further into innovations and services. We are experts in systems science; we develop integrated solutions from care of the elderly to space robotics.

We are now looking for a doctoral researcher in quantum computing and algorithms for Life Science applications.

Are you as excited about quantum technology and its future applications as we are?

We are seeking a doctoral researcher to join the Micro and Quantum Systems (MQS) research group in the Department of Electronics and Nanoengineering at Aalto University. MQS currently comprises more than 18 members and is expanding. We are advancing foundational topics in quantum computing and their practical applications.

In this position, you will work at the intersection of quantum computing, computational biology, genomics, and materials science. You will have the opportunity to delve deeply into quantum computing and contribute to high-quality research with real-world impact. Join us in shaping the future!

Your role and goals

Your primary task as a doctoral researcher is to conduct research in quantum algorithms and quantum information, leading to the completion of your PhD. You are expected to take an active role in advancing the MQS group’s research projects.

Our recent work has focused on the theory and applications of quantum walk algorithms, variational quantum algorithms and their optimization, adiabatic quantum computation, and quantum machine learning. Theoretical and applied research into the capabilities of quantum computing and quantum advantage is a prospective topic across four application domains: bioinformatics, breeding, biomaterial synthesis, and cellulose‑processing enzyme design.

You will develop hybrid quantum‑classical algorithms to tackle domain‑specific, computationally demanding problems. Methods will be designed for near‑term (NISQ‑era) deployment, with models evaluated for expressivity, training stability, scalability, and resource requirements on representative problem sizes, and systematically benchmarked against fully classical baselines. In parallel, medium‑ to long‑term quantum algorithms will be explored to assess quantum readiness and to establish innovative methodologies relevant to each application field. The exact research topics can be tailored to your interests within the scope of our current projects.

Your goal is to produce world‑class research results, in collaboration with other group members in the lively environment of the MQS group, and to publish them in high‑impact journals. In addition to research, you will be expected to take doctoral coursework and participate in the group’s teaching activities.

Your network and team

Currently, our research group consists of 1 professor, 1 lecturer, 1 staff scientist, 2 postdocs and 5 PhD students, and several undergraduate research collaborators. The group is led by Professor Ilkka Tittonen.

Your experience and ambitions

Applicants are expected to


	hold a Master’s degree and excellent study records in theoretical physics, mathematics, computer science, or other relevant field.
	have a keen interest in quantum computing
	have a working proficiency in English. (Finnish language is not required.)


The research topics can be adjusted according to the background of the applicant. Familiarity with the areas outlined in this call is a clear advantage. Teaching experience will also be a valuable asset.

What we offer

We offer the opportunity to conduct research within a vibrant international community. Finland hosts many active quantum computing groups connected through the national consortium InstituteQ, which coordinates a wide range of quantum‑related activities. We have access to real quantum hardware, including VTT’s Q50 machine and Aalto’s new Q20 system, located in the same building as our offices. In addition, we have access to other commercially available quantum platforms. Aalto University also offers ample opportunities for multidisciplinary research and teaching collaboration.

We offer you interesting work in an inspiring work environment. You will work in a community of students, researchers and other professionals, where we promote socially significant goals in the fields of science and education. We will familiarize you with your tasks and you will become part of a friendly and competent team that will offer you support in your work tasks also in the future.

We work in a hybrid way, and the primary workplace is Otaniemi, Espoo. The Otaniemi campus is a thriving and connected community of 100 nationalities, 13,000 students and 4,500 employees. Life at the transformed campus is vibrant and filled with amazing architecture, calming nature, and a variety of cafes, restaurants, services and good connections along the recently opened metro line.

The contract is fixed-term and will be made initially for two (2) years. The starting salary for doctoral researcher is approximately 3100€/Month.

Join us!
