Research Scientist or Senior Scientist, soft materials modelling team
About this role
Are you an expert in computational materials modelling looking for a new opportunity? Would you like to develop advanced modelling methods with colleagues at the forefront of their fields and create impact in international research and customer projects? VTT might be just the place for you.
VTT is one of the leading applied research organisations in Europe. What unites us are curiosity, a passion for learning, and a purpose: to solve the biggest challenges of our time and turn them into sustainable growth and well-being. Our cross-disciplinary community of over 2000 brilliant minds from 55+ different nationalities focuses on creating impact through science-based innovation. In recent years, we have created ground-breaking innovations such as the world's fastest and most accurate radiation detector, a cancer-sniffing sensor device for smartphones, and a headphone set entirely made of microbial materials.

We are now looking for a Research Scientist or Senior Scientist to join our soft materials modelling team.
In this role, you will develop and apply physics-based computational models for bio-based materials across scales. Your work will focus on molecular dynamics and - depending on your expertise - electronic structure calculations, continuum-scale methods, or combinations of these approaches.
You will analyse data, implement modelling methods, and turn scientific results into impact for research and industrial customers.
Our growing and diverse team, ProperTune Soft Condensed Materials, develops advanced modelling methods at the forefront of materials science. As such, we contribute to VTT's ProperTune concept for integrated computational materials engineering. We combine computational approaches, experimental insight, and interdisciplinary collaboration to accelerate materials development and create measurable impact. You will work with highly skilled colleagues and international partners while contin
