<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Launching in 2025, ELLIS Institute Finland is the second institute of ELLIS, the pan-European AI network of excellence. In collaboration with universities across Finland,
the Institute is now recruiting Principal Investigators (PIs) to lead research teams in AI, machine learning (ML) and related fields. This is a unique opportunity for researchers at all career stages to do work with global impact, in a research environment
that is one of the best in the world today for AI and ML. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Finland has cutting-edge computing resources, including the LUMI supercomputer, strong governmental and industrial support for AI and technology, and possibilities
to work with companies and across the academia-industry interface. The AI ecosystem is already thriving, thanks to the close-knit cooperation of universities, a long track record of pioneering machine learning research, most recently at the Finnish Center
for Artificial Intelligence, and strong ties to the European Laboratory for Learning and Intelligent Systems (ELLIS) network. The selected PIs will become Fellows or Scholars of the ELLIS Society, a distinction of high-caliber scientists advancing the fields
of AI and ML.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">“The launch of the Institute couldn’t come at a better time, with Europe and Finnish partners increasingly realizing the importance of aiming high in research and
development,” says Samuel Kaski, director of ELLIS Institute Finland and professor at Aalto University. “Finland is becoming
<i>the</i> place to be for trailblazing AI research, with the ELLIS research excellence ethos built in from the start.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">“We are looking forward to welcoming new colleagues who want to build on the existing strengths of the community, for instance in probabilistic modelling and collaborative AI that combines user
modelling and ML, AI for science, or establishing a new strength. In any case, we are expected to take AI research to the next level, which is a nice challenge for a researcher to have,” says professor Kaski.
