Application Process and Evaluation

Updated on 17 May 2024

In spring 2024, the Tampere IAS recruited  nine (9) Postdoctoral Research Fellows and six (6) Senior Research Fellows.

The duration of the Postdoctoral Fellowships is two years, 1 Sept 2024-31 Aug 2026, and that of the Senior Fellowships three years, 1 Sept 2024-31 Aug 2027.

In each call, the applications for the researcher positions are evaluated only on the basis of scientific quality and ambition of the work plans demonstrated in the application documents.

The Selection Committee of the Tampere IAS first shortlists the applications. The applications are evaluated in three subpanels according to the focus areas of Tampere University: technology, health, and society.

The shortlisted applications are then assessed by external expert reviewers. In assessing scientific quality, they take into account the characteristics of each scientific field.

All applications for the Fellowships at the Tampere Institute for Advanced Study are assessed against the following key evaluation criteria:

  • High academic quality and innovativeness of the work plan
  • Feasibility of the work plan

Based on the external experts’ assessments, the Selection Committee nominates the candidates and makes a proposal to the President of Tampere University, who appoints the Fellows.

In 2024, the selection decision was finalized on 13 May 2024.

Administratively, all the appointed Research Fellows will be members of the faculties of Tampere University.
