Postdoctoral Research Fellow (Dim Light project)

Tampere University and Tampere University of Applied Sciences create a unique environment for multidisciplinary, inspirational, and high-impact research and education. Our universities community has its competitive edges in technology, health, and society. Read more: www.tuni.fi/en

Faculty of Social Sciences at Tampere University invites applications for a fixed-term post-doctoral researcher position, starting as of 1 October 2023 (or as mutually agreed) until 31 August 2025.

The Faculty of Social Sciences hosts the project “A Dim Light of Dawn? Finnish Post-Cold War Experiences between east and West, 1989–1995” funded by the Research Council of Finland.

The project is part of the internationally renowned Research Council of Finland’s Centre of Excellence in the History of Experiences (HEX), which studies the history of experience: how human experiences are created, how they are interpreted and how they affect the individual's relationship with his or her community and society. The Dim Light project is part of HEX's Lived Nation research group that researches the history of experiences and emotions of nations and nationalism. For more information on HEX, see the webpage of the unit.

The Dim Light project offers a stimulating and inspiring working environment and excellent opportunities to develop skills and advance your research career in an international environment.

The Dim Light project explores the history of experiences in Finnish society in the early 1990s. One of the defining factors of social change is uncertainty about the future, which can be called a liminal experience. The idea of a liminal space is perhaps a more apt description of the post-Cold War experiences than the transition from one era or political reality to the next. The project analyses how post-Cold War uncertainties manifested themselves in the lives of citizens, how they tried to adapt to them and how citizens shared their experiences. The project approaches the topic through three themes: the Depression, neo-patriotism and European integration. The project combines the study of the history of experiences with research on the post-Cold War period. The project understands 'experience' as a social process in which individual and small group experiences linked to time and place are transformed into a shared narrative and understanding of events in society. For more information on the project, see the project presentation. For more information, see the description of the project.

Job description

The researcher's task is to investigate how European integration and the transformation of Finnish society are reflected in citizens' experiences, identities, and interpretations of the possible futures of the early 1990s. The post-Cold War period was marked by the debate on membership of the European Union and both public and private reflection on the changing "Finnishness" in the unfolding world. Finland's mental geography changed as the Baltic states and Russian part of Karelia opened to wider tourism. Alongside political debate and media discussions, the entertainment and other cultural products of the time contributed to the construction of the experience of the period.

The researcher's tasks include the collection and analysis of data and contributing to the theoretical perspectives of the project. Some of the data has already been collected. In addition, the candidate will be expected to contribute to the brainstorming on the other themes of the project, i.e. research on the 1990s’ recession and neo-patriotism, as these areas are expected to be in close dialogue with each other. The successful candidate will have the opportunity to influence the focus of their own research within the objectives of the Dim Light project.

The successful candidate will be expected to actively promote his/her research and publish the results of their research. They will also be expected to participate in the project's research team and activities at HEX and to present their research results at seminars and academic conferences in their field.

Requirements

To be eligible for the post of post-doctoral researcher, candidates must have a PhD in history or an appropriate field by the closing date for applications. The successful candidate will be expected to be able to carry out high-quality, independent scientific research. The candidate must have excellent analytical and methodological skills and be able to work both independently and collaboratively as part of a research team.

We require a background in qualitative research in history or an appropriate field. Knowledge of digital humanities would be an advantage. In addition to Finnish, applicants are expected to have excellent written and oral English language skills. Please be prepared to provide evidence of your qualifications on request.

We offer

The position is a fixed-term contract for the period 1 October 2023–31 August 2025 in accordance with the university pay scale for teaching and research staff.

The post of post-doctoral researcher will be at levels 5–6. The typical starting salary is between 3500e and 3800e/month. The employment relationship is governed by the Employment Contracts Act six-month probationary period.

We offer a wide range of staff benefits, such as occupational health care, flexible working hours, excellent sports facilities on campus and several restaurants and cafés on campus with staff discounts. Please read more about working at Tampere University.

The (static) architecture of HPC systems limits their usefulness to a few selected application, as the ideal topology for applications requiring large bisection bandwidth differs from the one needed for more localized workloads – leading to mediocre performance when executing dynamic applications. Furthermore, the network typically only extends between nodes, and does not form an integral part of the compute nodes themselves, i.e. the Network-on-Chip used within the compute nodes is not co-optimized with the global interconnect network. In this position, you will investigate how principles of Software-defined networking and time-sensitive networking can improve the performance of these large-scale systems.

What you will do

HPC systems often use complex low-diameter network topologies, to balance network bandwidth, latency and construction cost. The interconnection between the thousands of nodes in such a system is recognized as an important performance bottleneck. The (static) architecture of HPC systems limits their usefulness to a few selected applications, as the ideal topology for applications requiring large bisection bandwidth differs from the one needed for more localized workloads – leading to mediocre performance when executing dynamic applications.

Furthermore, the network typically only extends between nodes, and does not form an integral part of the compute nodes themselves, i.e., the Network-on-Chip used within the compute nodes is not co-optimized with the global interconnect network. In this position, you will investigate how principles of Software-defined networking and time-sensitive networking can improve the performance of these large-scale systems, from a theoretical perspective, but also from a practical implementation standpoint. As it is an integral part of the architecture of a system, multi-disciplinary interactions with people developing the software programming models, IC architecture and system performance models are expected.

This project is an initiative of the Compute Systems Architecture Unit (CSA). The CSA unit researches emerging workloads and their performance on large-scale supercomputer architectures for next-generation Artificial Intelligence (AI) and high-performance computing (HPC) applications. The team is responsible for algorithm research, runtime management innovations, performance modeling, architecture simulation and prototyping for these future applications and the future systems to execute them, to reach multiple orders of magnitude better performance, energy-efficiency, and total-cost-of-ownership.

What we do for you

We offer you the opportunity to join one of the world’s premier research centers in nanotechnology at its headquarters in Leuven, Belgium. With your talent, passion and expertise, you’ll become part of a team that makes the impossible possible. Together, we shape the technology that will determine the society of tomorrow.

Our Laboratory for Functional Polymers offers a PhD position in the field of

Plasmonic nanoparticle-enhanced near-infrared organic light-emitting diodes.
Organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) that emit in the visible are a proven technology. In contrast, OLEDs that emit in the near-infrared (NIR) range have remained a fundamental scientific challenge. The reason for this is that the photoluminescence quantum yield of organic dyes decreases exponentially as the emission shifts to longer wavelengths – the so-called energy gap law. In this project, we aim to circumvent the emission limitations of NIR dyes by employing a fine-tuned plasmonic enhancement strategy. The project takes place in a highly interdisciplinary environment and involves partner laboratories dedicated to chemical synthesis and theoretical calculations. The potential impact of high-performing NIR-OLEDs is huge, with untapped next generation applications in through-space optical communications, machine vision or medical imaging.

PhD position in the field of next level OLEDs (a)

Your tasks

  • Structural and optical characterization of dye-at-nanoparticle emitter films
  • Fabrication and characterization of NIR-OLEDs
  • Optimization of NIR-OLEDs, supported by opto-electrical device simulation

Your profile We are looking for a highly motivated candidate who wants to pursue cutting-edge research at world-class level. Required qualifications include a Master's degree in physics or materials science with a solid background in physics. Experience with organic/hybrid film device fabrication, OLED characterization and photoluminescence spectroscopy is advantageous. We are looking for a curiosity driven team player with excellent English communication and writing skills.

Our offer

We offer a highly interdisciplinary environment and close partnership between Empa (synthesis of NIR dyes, OLED fabrication), ETHZ (synthesis of nanoparticles) and EPFL (theoretical foundations). Located in the Zürich area, the Swiss Federal Institute for Materials Science and Technology (Empa) offers outstanding infrastructure, a broad interdisciplinary environment and competitive salaries. The position is funded by the Swiss National Science Foundation and is planned for a duration of 4 years. The official project start is October 2023. This fulltime position is available upon agreement. The PhD candidate will be integrated in the doctoral program of EPF Lausanne. Thesis advisor is Prof. Frank Nüesch.

as part of a large SNSF (ERC) Advanced Grant project (Predicting hotspots of climate change impacts on ecosystems from an eco-evolutionary biome framework). This project aims at (1) defining and mapping global biomes, (2) projecting global change impacts on biomes, and (3) testing a novel eco-evolutionary biome theory. As part of this large effort, you will test novel theoretical foundations relevant to global biomes. First, you will assess to what degree biomes differ regarding evolutionary biome conservatism. Second, you will study the evolution of biome-typical functional plant traits and the relationship of the timing of trait evolution and biome conservatism. Finally, you will contribute to assess the linkage of the evolutionary history of biomes to biotic and abiotic stress tolerance of biome-dominant plants. The project will be carried out in an interdisciplinary team at WSL and in close cooperation with nine international partners. It will contain fieldwork to test spatial model predictions from a novel biome mapping pipeline on four different continents. The main place of work will be the Swiss Federal Research Institute WSL in Birmensdorf, Switzerland. You hold an MSc degree in macroevolution, evolutionary ecology, bioinformatics or a related field, and you have knowledge in plant phylogenetics, phylogenetic comparative methods and in the handling, processing and analysis of large phylogenies. You have experienced in the building (and dating) of phylogenies (e.g. using RevBayes, BEAST2, etc.). Further assets are expertise in macroecology and/or functional ecology, and experience coding and scripting languages (e.g. R, Python), in cluster computing, machine learning or artificial intelligence. The capability to develop new ideas independently is necessary, as are very good English skills (both written and oral). You are a curious, self-reliant person who is also an excellent team worker and values cooperation.

Centre for Energy Resources Engineering (CERE) at DTU Chemistry is seeking talented postdoctoral researchers to contribute to our exciting CO2 storage research in the following projects:

CompReact: Compositional simulation of reactive transport in CO2 storage

In this project, we aim to advance CO2 storage simulation technology by combining state-of-the-art equilibrium calculation algorithms with compositional simulation. We intend to take advantage of the recent development in simultaneous chemical and phase equilibrium calculation to improve the speed and reliability of CO2 storage simulation significantly. The candidate will work on integrating the novel chemical and phase equilibrium calculation algorithm into an in-house compositional simulator to simulate CO2 storage in both saline aquifers and depleted petroleum reservoirs. This requires robust and efficient calculation of multiphase equilibrium in dynamic simulation. The developed simulator will be applied to analyze both near-wellbore and reservoir-scale problems. It will also be an objective to integrate the relevant simulation methods in the advanced CO2 storage simulation software GEOSX (www.geosx.org/) through a collaboration with the current developers of GEOSX. We expect that the project will provide a new paradigm for performing compositional simulations for various underground CO2 storage processes. The project is a part of the INNO-CCUS partnership (www.inno-ccus.dk).

CO2plus: Phase behavior of CO2+X in CO2 storage

Our second project focuses on understanding the phase behavior of CO2 with different impurities or fluids at storage sites. We aim to acquire systematic knowledge and develop modeling approaches to analyze the complex phase behavior during CO2 injection and storage. The project involves experimental measurement, phase behavior modeling, and integration of the developed models into simulation analysis of injection risks and storage issues. The project is under the Innovation Fund Denmark’s Grand Solutions program.

The CERE group at DTU Chemistry possesses extensive expertise in both experimental measurement and modelling of high-pressure phase equilibrium and thermophysical properties. Furthermore, the group excels in development of efficient phase equilibrium calculation algorithms for compositional simulations. Both projects are supported by robust consortia of industrial and academic partners, ensuring that the high-level research remains relevant and applicable in real-world contexts.

Responsibilities and qualifications

Each of the two projects has one postdoc position.

The postdoc in CompReact will work on the improvement of the calculation algorithms for multiphase reactions, the integration of the multiphase reaction module into a CO2 storage simulator, and simulation analysis using the developed simulator.

The postdoc in CO2plus will work on the phase behavior modeling of CO2 rich streams and the integration of developed models into simulation analysis.

As a formal qualification, you must hold a PhD degree (or equivalent) in areas such as chemical engineering, chemistry, petroleum engineering, and mathematics.

Overall, we are specifically seeking candidates who have, or are willing quickly to acquire the following skills:

  • Phase equilibrium calculation algorithms and their integration into dynamic CO2 storage simulation
  • Thermodynamic modeling of phase equilibrium and thermophysical properties related to CO2-rich mixtures.

The candidates should possess strong programming skills. It is an advantage to be familiar with thermodynamics and dynamic simulation. Since CO2plus involves measurement of phase equilibrium and thermophysical properties, it facilitates the collaboration with others in the project if the postdoc in CO2plus has relevant experimental knowledge and experience.

We offer

DTU is a leading technical university globally recognized for the excellence of its research, education, innovation and scientific advice. We offer a rewarding and challenging job in an international environment. We strive for academic excellence in an environment characterized by collegial respect and academic freedom tempered by responsibility.

Centre for Energy Resources Engineering (CERE) at DTU Chemistry is seeking talented PhD students to contribute to our exciting CO2 storage research in the following projects:

CompReact: Compositional simulation of reactive transport in CO2 storage

In this project, we aim to advance CO2 storage simulation technology by combining state-of-the-art equilibrium calculation algorithms with compositional simulation. We intend to take advantage of the recent development in simultaneous chemical and phase equilibrium calculation to improve the speed and reliability of CO2 storage simulation significantly. The candidates will work on integrating the novel chemical and phase equilibrium calculation algorithm into an in-house compositional simulator to simulate CO2 storage in both saline aquifers and depleted petroleum reservoirs. This requires robust and efficient calculation of multiphase equilibrium in dynamic simulation. The developed simulator will be applied to analyze both near-wellbore and reservoir-scale problems. It will also be an objective to integrate the relevant simulation methods in the advanced CO2 storage simulation software GEOSX (www.geosx.org/) through a collaboration with the current developers of GEOSX. We expect that the project will provide a new paradigm for performing compositional simulations for various underground CO2 storage processes. The project is a part of the INNO-CCUS partnership (www.inno-ccus.dk).

CO2plus: Phase behavior of CO2+X in CO2 storage

Our second project focuses on understanding the phase behavior of CO2 with different impurities or fluids at storage sites. We aim to acquire systematic knowledge and develop modeling approaches to analyze the complex phase behavior during CO2 injection and storage. The project involves experimental measurement, phase behavior modeling, and integration of the developed models into simulation analysis of injection risks and storage issues. The project is under the Innovation Fund Denmark’s Grand Solutions program.

DemoBECCS: The potential and demonstration feasibility of BECCS

Our third project aims to tackle bioenergy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS), a CCS technology to achieve negative carbon emissions. The storage research in this project will focus on the challenges posed by the impurities from biogenic CO2 sources and the storage of biogenic CO2 in depleted oil reservoirs.

The CERE group at DTU Chemistry possesses extensive expertise in both experimental measurement and modelling of high-pressure phase equilibrium and thermophysical properties. Furthermore, the group excels in development of efficient phase equilibrium calculation algorithms for compositional simulations. All the projects are supported by robust consortia of industrial and academic partners, ensuring that the high-level research remains relevant and applicable in real-world contexts.

Responsibilities and qualifications

The CompReact project has one PhD position. The student will work on the improvement of the calculation algorithms for multiphase reactions, the integration of the multiphase reaction module into a CO2 storage simulator, and simulation analysis using the developed simulator.

The CO2plus project involves one PhD student focusing mainly on experimental measurement, and another PhD focusing on modeling and simulation.

DemoBECCS has one PhD position. The student will work on modeling and simulation of CO2 storage in depleted oil reservoirs.

For applicants to the PhD positions, you must have a two-year master's degree (120 ECTS points) or a similar degree with an academic level equivalent to a two-year master's degree in disciplines like chemical engineering, applied chemistry, or petroleum engineering.

The scholarship for the PhD degree is subject to academic approval, and the candidate will be enrolled in one of the general degree programmes at DTU. For information about our enrolment requirements and the general planning of the PhD study programme, please see DTU's rules for the PhD education 

Overall, we are specifically seeking candidates who have, or are willing quickly to acquire the following skills:

  • Phase equilibrium calculation algorithms and their integration into dynamic CO2 storage simulation
  • Thermodynamic modeling of phase equilibrium and thermophysical properties related to CO2-rich mixtures.
  • Measurement of phase equilibrium and thermophysical properties

All the candidates, especially those focusing on simulation and modeling, should possess strong programming skills. It is an advantage to be familiar with thermodynamics and dynamic simulation.
