TIAS Postdoctoral Fellow positions — September 2027

The University of Turku is recruiting four postdoctoral fellows for three years of self-designed research beginning in September 2027. Projects must sit within economics, education, humanities, law or social sciences and connect convincingly with the university’s research environment. Fellows join an interdisciplinary institute while retaining substantial time for their own work, with teaching capped at a small share of workload. This is salaried employment requiring residence in Finland, not a remote affiliation. The current call provides a particularly clear route for recent doctoral graduates who can demonstrate strong research achievement and a compelling independent project.

• Offers a specific current selection route with practical resources, rather than a directory or an undated programme listing. The main value is protected research time and career development.
• Individual current call; competitive selection. No application has been submitted. Official current call reviewed.

Current estimated gross salary EUR 3,938/month, requirement level 5 with 17% personal component; research allowance up to EUR 3,800/year. Six-month trial period. Tax, relocation costs and individual salary progression require personal assessment.

• Submit through the linked TalentAdore vacancy; follow official guidance for research plan, motivation and academic documentation. Only one application across the postdoctoral and collegium tracks.

• Open 18 September–13 November 2026; closes 16:00 Finnish time, UTC+2. Appointment begins 1 September 2027 for three years.
• Competition historically around 2% success. Residence and campus obligations; no relocation allowance established. Salary quoted is gross and current, not a guaranteed net payment.
