[DMANET] Helsinki ICT network: 20 doctoral student positions

The Helsinki Doctoral Education Network in Information and
Communications Technology (HICT) is a joint initiative by Aalto
University and the University of Helsinki, the two leading universities
within this area in Finland. The network involves at present 55
professors and over 200 doctoral students, and the participating units
graduate altogether more than 40 new doctors each year.

The activities of HICT are structured along six research area specific
tracks:
- Algorithms and machine learning
- Creative technologies
- Life science informatics
- Networks, networked systems and services
- Software and service engineering and systems
- User centered information technology

The participating units of HICT have currently 20 fully funded positions
available for exceptional doctoral students. In this call you can either
apply to a research group in general, or/and to a specific research
project. The group descriptions can be found through the list of HICT
