Employment as a doctoral researcher

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

The next application period for salaried positions starting in 2025 is 27.8.-9.9.2024. Application instructions can be found from the University's Instructions for Students pages.
Other fund­ing op­tions

Other ways of funding a PhD project is a salary paid by the supervisor or a personal grant from a private foundation applied by the doctoral candidate him/herself. Doctoral candidates may also fund their studies themselves or pursue their degree in tandem with work. Further information on the different funding options is available here.
