New fellows appointed to Tampere Institute for Advanced Study
Nine Postdoctoral Research Fellow and nine Senior Research Fellow posts were open in the research fields represented at Tampere University.
A pre-selection was conducted by a selection committee consisting of TAU’s professors in the fields of technology, health, and society. The 74 pre-selected applications were then ranked by international external evaluators in the same fields.
“Many of the experts involved in the evaluation considered the overall standard of the applications they assessed to be high internationally, reflecting the high pressure of applications and the opportunity that the pre-selection process provided to send only really high-quality applications for external evaluation,” says Juha Teperi, Director of the Tampere Institute for Advanced Study who coordinated the application round.
The President appointed 18 candidates based on the suggestion made by the selection group. The President also appointed 24 candidates proposed by the selection committee as alternates.
