The Doctoral Programme in Technology (DPT), the University of Turku, Finland, is inviting applications for fixed-term doctoral researcher positions for a maximum of two years. The positions start on 1 January 2025 at the earliest and can last until 31 December 2028

The positions are intended for full-time doctoral dissertation research. Duties other than those related to doctoral dissertation research, such as teaching duties, must be proportioned so as not to compromise the completion of the doctoral dissertation within the planned schedule. As a rule, up to 5% (a maximum of about 80 hrs per academic year) of the annual working time of the Doctoral Researcher can consist of teaching. When determining the length of the employment contract, prior funding granted for pursuing a doctoral degree, planned schedule and current phase of the research are taken into account. The maximum length for a Doctoral Researcher position is two years in the DPT doctoral programme. A person already awarded with a doctoral degree cannot be chosen as a Doctoral Researcher under an employment contract.
