University of Oulu opens eleven Tenure Track positions to strengthen its research profile fields

The University of Oulu will strengthen its multidisciplinary competence on existing research profile areas by opening eleven Tenure Track positions and one Senior Research Fellow position. Open positions are based on three profile themes: sustainable hydrogen economy, artificial intelligence-based solutions and strengthening human and environmental resilience. In the Tenure Track career model, the applicant can be selected as an Assistant Professor or Associate Professor, based on experience and competence.
