Tampere University seeks doctoral researchers to push boundaries in generative AI and software engineering
GPT-Lab at Tampere University has opened applications for up to five doctoral researcher positions in generative AI and software engineering, with the deadline set for October 3, 2025.
Tampere University has announced that GPT-Lab, part of its Computing Sciences Unit, is hiring three to five doctoral researchers in generative AI and software engineering.
The lab works across artificial intelligence, software engineering, and human-computer interaction, combining research and education in Finland and internationally.
The openings were shared in a LinkedIn post by GPT-Lab, which stated: “GPT-Lab (Tampere University) is looking for Doctoral Researchers in Generative AI & Software Engineering to join our team.”
Qualifications highlight AI expertise and development skills
Candidates must hold a master’s degree in computer science, software engineering, data science, artificial intelligence, or a related field. Students close to finishing a master’s by December 2025 may also apply.
The lab says applicants must demonstrate strong written and spoken English. Preferred qualifications include peer-reviewed publications in AI or software engineering, experience in academic or industrial software development, and familiarity with frameworks such as PyTorch, TensorFlow, or Hugging Face.
The recruitment process involves four stages: screening, a video submission, a technical task, and a final interview. Successful candidates must also apply separately for doctoral study rights at Tampere University, as the employment and study admissions are distinct.
Applications must be submitted through Tampere University’s portal by October 3, 2025, at 23:59 Finnish time. Positions are for four years, with a starting salary of €2,714 per month under the Finnish University Salary System.
