Aleksanteri Institute Visiting Scholars Programme - Call Open
Applications are invited from highly qualified scholars conducting research in a field relevant to the Aleksanteri Institute's research agenda. Applicants at different stages of their academic career, from junior researchers to established scholars, are welcome to apply. Applicants must hold a PhD degree or equivalent (granted no later than December 2013). In addition to academic excellence, a key factor in the selection process is the potential for a mutually beneficial research visit, both for the visitor and for the research community of the Aleksanteri Institute. Visiting fellows are expected to work on themes related to the Aleksanteri Institute’s research agenda and are encouraged to participate actively in the academic life of the Aleksanteri Institute.

The call for Aleksanteri Visiting Fellowships for the academic year 2014–2015  is open until 24 February 2014.

Stays of 1–3 months at Aleksanteri Institute will be granted. The research visits should take place between 1 August 2014 and 30 June 2015.

The selection of the fellows will be concluded in April 2014. Download more information and application instructions here: PDF.
