The brand-new Number Theory Research Group at the Department of Mathematics and Statistics at the University of Helsinki is seeking 1-2 doctoral researchers to join a research project on analytic number theory. The work is part of the research project “Higher rank symmetries in analytic number theory” funded by the Academy of Finland and the Emil Aaltonen Foundation, which is led by Assistant Professor Jori Merikoski. The position is for a fixed term of three years, with flexibility regarding the starting date. The selected candidate can start as soon as possible during Spring 2026 but no later than September 2026. There will be a trial period of six months at the beginning of the employment.
Job description
The selected candidate will carry out research on the interface between automorphic forms, prime numbers, divisor functions, and L-functions. This is an active area within modern number theory with many possible research directions. The supervisor will help the selected candidate to choose appropriate research questions and acquire the required skills.
The position is fixed-term with the main purpose of preparing a dissertation related to the project in the Doctoral Programme in Science (SciDoc) of the University of Helsinki. The researcher will write scientific manuscripts on their results for publication in international peer-reviewed journals. The position includes funding to attend conferences and make research visits abroad.

The new Number Theory research group at the University of Helsinki has close ties to the Number Theory group at the University of Turku led by Prof. Kaisa Matomäki https://users.utu.fi/ksmato/researchgroup/
Who are we looking for
The position requires expertise in analytic number theory or excellent capabilities to adopt it, with emphasis on the following topics: distribution of prime numbers and arithmetic functions, theory of zeta- and L-functions, and theory of automorphic forms. Competency in related areas of mathematics such as representation theory, Lie groups, or algebraic number theory is seen as an advantage.
The doctoral researcher shall have a Master’s degree or equivalent in a suitable field, preferably in analytic number theory, by the time they start the work. Successful completion of the task requires the ability to conduct independent research and fluent English language skills.
The appointee should apply for the right to pursue a doctoral degree at the University of Helsinki by the start of the appointment, or apply for the right and obtain it within the probationary period of six months of their appointment. If the candidate does not already have the right to pursue a doctoral degree at the University of Helsinki, it must be applied for separately, please see: https://www.helsinki.fi/en/research/doctoral-education/the-application-process-in-a-nutshell.
