PREIN
The Photonics Research and Innovation Flagship (PREIN) is a multi-disciplinary competence cluster in Finland focusing on the development of light-based technologies. PREIN is a national Finnish network that gathers the cutting-edge expertise in Photonics in Finland, including Tampere University, University of Eastern Finland, Aalto University and VTT research center. Combining the resources and infrastructures of its partners, PREIN covers all the Photonics value chain, from fundamental research to applied research, seeding industrial collaboration, supporting mobility and career development. For more information see our website prein.fi. Within the PREIN framework, several postdoc positions are available at Tampere University and the University of Eastern Finland.
Tampere University
Positions are available in the Metaplasmonics group (https://www.tuni.fi/en/research/metaplasmonics) engaged in advanced developing nanophotonics, plasmonics and metamaterial devices as well as in the Photonic Glasses group at Tampere University which works on the design and synthesis of novel glass media for photonic applications. The groups have access to state-of-the-art fabrication and characterization facilities.
The higher education community of Tampere University and Tampere University of Applied Sciences, Finland’s second largest multidisciplinary higher education institution, places its faith in the human potential and in scientific knowledge.

Contact the host – Expression of Interest Portal
We strongly recommend using this portal, as the MULTIPLY Management team will keep track of all enquiries raised via this channel, and will be able to offer assistance if deemed necessary. This step will help the host organization provide feedback whether the infrastructural resources available with them will be appropriate to support your research activity.
As per COFUND guidelines, fellowship programmes will be based on individual-driven mobility, i.e., researchers will be able to freely choose a research topic fitting their individual needs.
The subject of the research project is expected to contribute to European competitiveness and to be in the general field of Photonics and/or its applications. Within these limitations, applicants can freely choose both their research topic and their host organisation, in the spirit of the ‘European Charter for Researchers’.
