Open position for Doctoral Researcher
Are you passionate about tackling high-stakes challenges in dynamic environments? The Waterways project is looking for a doctoral researcher to explore optimization methods in settings with uncertain conditions, poorly structured problems, and competing goals. If you’re driven to make both a scientific and societal impact, this could be the perfect opportunity for you!
The Marine and Arctic Technology research group at Aalto University is looking for a doctoral researcher interested in studying optimization methods, particularly for environments characterized by high stakes, poorly structured problems, uncertain dynamic conditions, and ill-defined or competing goals. Suitable backgrounds may come from computer science, mechanical engineering, marine technology, and/or operational research. A strong motivation to contribute to the thesis’s scientific and societal impact is a must. Experience in interdisciplinary research and science-driven policy formulation will be considered an asset.
This role offers a unique opportunity to work on interdisciplinary research that addresses key sustainability challenges in the marine waterways. You will be part of a dynamic team driving innovation at the intersection of science and policy, developing practical solutions by incorporating stakeholder feedback and addressing the interconnected nature of marine systems.
