The Research Centre on Transnationalism and Transformation

Visiting Fellows

The Research Centre on Transnationalism and Transformation is inviting visiting fellows for a full-time (in-person) research stay at the Tampere University.

The visiting fellow programme is intended for advanced academics (advanced Ph.D stage, post-doctoral researchers, or senior academics) with external funding.

The TRANSIT visiting fellows will be offered:

  • An office space
  • An opportunity to network and build connections with the research community/ies at the Tampere University
  • A chance to conduct and present their research and receive feedback from the interdisciplinary research community

As the TRANSIT Research Centre is an interdisciplinary Collaboratory connecting three faculties, the visiting fellow will be hosted by one of the TRANSIT faculties: the Faculty of Education and Culture, the Faculty of Management and Business or the Faculty of Social Sciences.

We welcome applications from scholars with related research themes to TRANSIT’s.

TRANSIT’s working language is English.

We are flexible in the timing and length of the stay. The application period is continuous.
