Employment as a doctoral researcher

Once a year, the doctoral programme opens a call for applications for university-funded doctoral researcher positions. The doctoral researchers selected for these positions complete their doctoral research employed by the university. Both current University of Helsinki doctoral researchers and new applicants planning on doctoral studies are eligible to apply for these positions.
The call in 2025

The next application period for salaried positions is 26.8.-9.9.2025. Application instructions can be found from the University's Instructions for Students pages.
