The University of Helsinki is one of the best multidisciplinary research universities in the world. The high-quality research carried out by the university creates new knowledge for educating diverse specialists in various fields, and for utilisation in social decision-making and the business sector. The University of Helsinki is an international academic community of 40,000 students and staff members. It operates on four campuses in Helsinki and at 17 other locations.

The University will introduce a doctoral education system consisting of four doctoral schools and 32 doctoral programmes at the beginning of 2014. The goal of the reform is to improve the quality and efficiency of the doctoral education.



The University of Helsinki invites applications for DOCTORAL STUDENT POSITIONS in the Doctoral Programme in Computer Science (DoCS) for a 1-4 year period starting from 1.1.2014.

The general theme of the DoCS doctoral programme is computer science. The focal areas are the same as those of the Department of Computer Science: data analysis (“Alko”), data networks and services (“Nodes”), and software research (“Softsys”). These also correspond to the three specialization areas or sub-programmes of the Department. At the university level, the programme directly supports the strategic focus area “Exact Thinking” (Precise Reasoning). The DoCS programme actively collaborates with Helsinki Institute for Information Technology HIIT, EIT ICT Labs, and computer science related department at the Aalto University.
