PhD position summary/title: Doctoral Researcher in Material science
The Doctoral researcher will be appointed for a fixed-term 3-year contract (start date: February 1, 2024 or as agreed) to work in a project entitled “From Dust to Value – Circular bio-based residues ‘D2V’. The position will be supervised by Associate Professor Tuula Jyske (Forest sciences), at the Faculty of Agriculture and Forestry. The D2V project aims to develop a sustainable value chain from wood-based side streams to value-added bio-based products, such as dispersants, wood adhesives, binders and coatings, thermoplastic biocomposites, and fibre-based insulation materials through an efficient and integrated biorefinery approach. The targets of D2V are multiple and interlinked with parallel research sub-projects of the consortium partners. The main target of D2V is to facilitate the transition of Finnish biorefinery from a bioeconomy to a sustainable circular bioeconomy by upgrading industrial waste streams – mainly wood dust. In the tasks of the PhD position, the focus is in developing proof-of-concepts to fully utilize residual extracted and non-extracted dust particles for construction materials. The aim is to unleash the advantages of chemical and structural properties of dust via examining stepwise extraction kinetics to isolate extractives and water-soluble carbohydrates from lignocellulosic fibrous parts. The suitability of differently extracted fibrous fractions will be determined as raw materials for insulation boards and sheets. The goal is to study the performance of wood dust and fibre residues after each extraction in different insulation material applications (acoustic and thermal insulation) while mixed with different (biobased) binders, and fibres from other biomass sources. Also, the possibilities to enhance material performance properties with bioinspired engineering approaches will be assessed, such as knowledge on bioacoustics.

PhD position summary/title:
The PhD researcher will participate in a project studying the adaptive benefits of urban evolution in a common butterfly, Pieris napi (Green-veined White, Lanttuperhonen). We will test whether previously identified evolution of this species in Helsinki provides an adaptive benefit by raising offspring of both urban and rural butterflies in outdoor cages in both locations. To conduct these experiments, we will work with local schools (grades 5 and 6) in Helsinki and the surrounding rural areas, involving students directly in planning and conducting the experiments. This will allow the project to also grant new insights for science education and for the role of young people in science. The PhD Researcher will also be involved in other projects related to the urban evolution of P. napi. They will have room to incorporate their own research interests into the project and develop their individual focus.

The Doctoral researcher will be appointed for a fixed-term 4-year contract (start date: February 1, 2024 or as agreed) to study the new value creation of the Finnish Forest Industries within the project entitled “Pathways out of Energy Crises to a Resilient and Just Energy System – PHOENIX” funded by The Strategic Research Council (SRC), an independent body of the Research Council of Finland. The project is implemented by Lahti-Lappeenranta University of Technology (consortium leader), University of Helsinki, University of Eastern Finland, University of Tampere and Institute for Economic Research. The position will be supervised by Associate Professor Mirja Mikkilä (Forest sciences), Post doctoral researcher Jenni Miettinen (Economics and Management) and Prof. emer. Markku Ollikainen (Economics and Management) at the Faculty of Agriculture and Forestry. PHOENIX-consortium seeks to assess how the benefits and costs of the energy system are distributed in Finland and design solutions, actions and policies that would support a more equitable distribution. PHOENIX addresses resiliency of the energy system and the sectors of the society impacted by the green energy transition, such as manufacturing, rural areas, and energy end users. It explores new energy solutions that strengthen resiliency. Within the sub-project of the University of Helsinki the open vacancy focuses on the net positive forest industry. Net positive industry refers to industrial operations that are more positive than negative overall, and especially regarding the relationship between the industry and environment. The appointee’s main task is to examine the ability of the forest industry, one of the main manufacturing sectors in Finland, to adapt to the green transition. The forest industry has two key environmental challenges: climate and biodiversity impacts of its wood use and energy inputs reliant on wood-based side streams. The appointee is expected to be able to conduct economic analysis of the adapting sector including empirical analysis using economic optimization models.
