Call for postdoctoral researchers at HIIT (deadline 13 May 2011)

Helsinki Institute for Information Technology HIIT conducts basic and
strategic research on information technology. It is a joint research
institute of the Aalto University and the University of Helsinki. HIIT
is a leading IT institute with research ranging from fundamental
methods and technologies to novel applications and their impact on
other sciences, people and society. HIIT's key competences are in
analysis of large sets of data, probabilistic modeling of complex
phenomena, Internet architecture and technologies, mobile and
human-centric computing, and user-created media.

HIIT now calls for applications for postdoctoral researchers. The
positions will be filled for three years maximum, starting 1 August
2011, or as agreed.

The postdoctoral researchers will undertake research work, teaching
and student supervision in some of HIIT's research areas, but
preferably providing an extension to the competences presently
available in HIIT. Each postdoc will belong to one or more HIIT
research groups, and be mentored by one or more group leaders /
PI's. See www.hiit.fi/research

This time, we are searching for postdocs for the following fields:

* We are launching a new focus area for which we are looking for
   people in particular working in large-scale computational and
   probabilistic modelling, with applications in Text analysis and
   recommendations, Context-awareness and user modeling, or Biological
   data integration, modelling, and bioinformatics. People involved
   include: Antti Oulasvirta and Antti Honkela (contact persons;
   [log in to unmask]), Giulio Jacucci, Samuel Kaski and Petri
   Myllymäki.

* Brain signal analysis (contact persons: Aapo Hyvärinen, Samuel
   Kaski; [log in to unmask])

* Computational creativity (contact person Hannu Toivonen,
   [log in to unmask]).

* Excellent applicants in other fields of HIIT are welcome as well
   (contact persons: research group leaders and HIIT research programme
   directors: http://www.hiit.fi/programmes)

The applications should include:
	- A research statement, including preferences on HIIT groups
	  and topics, and  outlining proposed research (at most 3 pages)
	- Curriculum vitae
	- List of publications with links to pdf-versions of the three
	  most relevant publications
	- Degree certificate of the PhD degree. In case the doctoral
	  degree is still pending, an up-to-date study transcript and a
	  plan for completion of the degree should be provided. The
	  doctoral degree should be completed during 2011.
	- Two letters of reference, or email addresses of two senior
	  academics willing to provide more information.

Deadline: Friday 13 May 2011.

The applications should be submitted using a web form at
https://elomake.helsinki.fi/lomakkeet/25442/lomake.html
The research statement, CV, list of publications and degree
information should be attached in pdf.

The salary for beginning postdoctoral researchers is usually about
3000-3600 euro / month, and for more experienced researchers up to
about 4300 euro / month. The contract includes occupational health and
social security benefits.

The applicants will be informed about the decisions as soon as
possible, at the latest in the end of June 2011.
