- PhD Position Summary/Title: Software Analysis and Testability PhD Candidate Position
We are looking for a full time PhD candidate to work on engineering analysis of complex software systems. The target software system is Nokia software for mobile network products and the research focus is on analysis tools and techniques for software understanding, optimization and testability. The position will be funded in the context of a 4 year research program at Nokia (based on an initial 2 year contract + 2 year extension). Key ideas are to analyze software code, documentation, tests, logs, etc. to (i) detect problematic code dependencies/patterns, (ii) manage change adaptation considering the evolution of underlying dependencies on software and hardware, and (iii) optimize large scale testing workflows. Big data, dependency analysis, machine learning and testing methodologies will be used for research and development, while strong skills in large scale software systems are important. The PhD candidate will work closely with the Nokia Software team.

- PhD position summary/position: PhD researcher in thermal nanoscience
We are looking for PhD researchers (PhD students) for a project to study the thermal properties of nanomaterials through optical characterization methods. As electronic and photonic devices become smaller in size, it is becoming increasingly important to understand heat flow at the nanoscale, as the waste heat generated has a huge impact on both device performance and energy efficiency. At the same time, measurement of thermal properties of nanoscale structures is challenging and requires sophisticated instrumentation.
