[Puolamäki Kai]

The Brain Work Research Centre at the Finnish Institute of Occupational
Health is seeking for a
SENIOR RESEARCH SCIENTIST

Your task is to lead research on computational data analysis and to devise
new computational methods and build expertise that benefit the research
and services for the needs of the future work life. You will advance the
use of the heterogeneous data sets that have been and are being collected
at the institute, including data sets related to physiology, health,
cognition, work environment, and spanning measurements from laboratories
to work places. You will be responsible for national and international
research collaboration in the topic of the position. You will apply for
funding, lead research projects as well as supervise students and other
more junior staff members. You may participate to education and teaching
within area of your expertise.

We require a doctoral degree in computer science or other suitable
discipline, as well as thorough understanding of computational data
analysis. The senior research scientist should have a track record after
the doctoral degree of successful collaboration in international
multidisciplinary environment as well as of applying for research funding,

Research Scientist is an academic track position, roughly equivalent to
