Job description
The Faculty of Science, Forestry and Technology, School of Computing
The University of Eastern Finland is inviting applications for a Postdoctoral Researcher position in Pervasive Sensing for Microsurgical Training and Skill Assessment at the School of Computing of the Faculty of Science, Forestry and Technology on the Joensuu or Kuopio campus. The position will be filled for a fixed term of two years starting on 1 April 2026 (or as agreed).
Please find more information below and submit your application no later than 29 January 2026.
Role and salary
Join our vibrant research team where microsurgery, expertise, and technology revolutionize how we train and assess surgical skills! When stakes are high, there is little margin for error. In mission-critical tasks, such as microsurgery, every little movement can make the difference in a patient’s safety and well-being. To understand how expertise develops over time, the Synergetic Mechanisms in High-Precision Expertise (SyMPeX) project (website) develops data-driven solutions that promote ubiquitous long-term and sustainable training and objective skill evaluation.
We seek a highly motivated Postdoctoral Researcher to join our SyMPeX project funded by the Research Council of Finland. Situated in microsurgical training and operating rooms, our interdisciplinary project combines cutting-edge sensors with current computational tools and machine/deep learning. As a Postdoctoral Researcher, you will be a key member of our team responsible for designing the seamless integration of biosensors into microsurgical training, developing a robust framework for data collection, and advancing performance analytics. Together, we shift how we train, observe, and understand microsurgical expertise. You will collaborate with specialists in Computer Science, Microsurgery, Plastic Surgery, and Otolaryngology spanning three university hospitals worldwide.
As our new Postdoctoral Researcher, your main responsibilities will include:
- designing and integrating biosensing architecture for pervasive data capture from the state-of-the-art wearable sensors and cameras
- validating the framework and running systematic feasibility tests in the wild
- collaborating closely with researchers and clinicians to prepare for autonomous data collection in the training centers and/or operating rooms
- visiting project’s international partners at Kuopio University Hospital (Finland), Rigshospitalet (Denmark) and University of Alberta (Canada)
- publishing in high-impact journals and giving presentations at international conferences.
You will be based at the School of Computing of the University of Eastern Finland. You will be part of an interdisciplinary and international team of computer scientists, cognitive scientists, clinicians, and specialists. The SyMPeX project will collaborate with cutting-edge research groups in Finland (University of Eastern Finland, Kuopio University Hospital), Denmark (Rigshospitalet), the United States (Indiana University of Bloomington), and Canada (University of Alberta), who will provide complementary insights into domain-specific expertise and medical topics (simulation training of microsurgery and otolaryngology). You will have access to the state-of-the-art research facilities and sensors, including microscope eye tracking, motion sensing, and cardiac sensors.
The position will be filled for a fixed term of two years as from 1 April 2026 (or as agreed). The position will be filled for a fixed term due to a specific project task. A trial period is applied to all new members of the staff.
The salary of the position is determined in accordance with the salary system for Finnish universities.
