Call for MSCA PF Candidates for Digital Waters Flagship in water, environment, robotics and management sectors

MSCA Postdoctoral Fellowship 2025: Call for expression of interest

Do you dream of moving to Finland and boosting your career by working with top-tier water researchers? Send your expression of interest by the 16th of May 2025 at the latest.

We have positions open in two Finnish universities, in South-West Finland at the University of Turku and in Northern Finland at the University of Oulu. Turku and Oulu Universities are the main partners in the Digital Waters (DIWA) Flagship, which is an ambitious research and innovation ecosystem, aiming to build digital solutions for water resource management and decision-making. DIWA Flagship research is conducted under five themes: 1) hydrological processes, 2) new observation systems, 3) integrated analysis, and modelling, 4) digital services, platforms, and solutions, and 5) transformative management. Post Doc researchers will be assigned to one of the research themes as an integral part of the DIWA Flagship. 

What we offer

We offer a fully-funded short-term collaboration visit (during May-June 2025) to our unit in Finland to develop your MSCA proposal with our globally leading researchers. This opportunity is linked to our activities in the Digital Water Flagship (DIWA) and depending on the candidates’ background, participation in other projects may be considered. Our research services at the University of Turku help and support you to polish your final proposal and provide technical support with the application process.

For funded MSCA projects, the best candidates may be offered an additional third year of funding to extend their research. We also provide assistance and support through our national funding programmes to strengthen your career. 

DIWA Flagship provides an extensive network of experienced researchers in multiple fields, an ecosystem with private and public sector stakeholders, and a front-row seat to explore the field of water research and innovations. In addition to furthering your career as a researcher, you have a great opportunity to build a career in the private sector
