Postdoctoral Programme for Research Institutes

The Postdoctoral Programme for Research Institutes aims to boost research, development, and innovation (RDI) in key areas for society and business.  The Programme fosters cross-sector collaboration and promotes the national and international mobility of postdoctoral researchers. The long-term goal is to accelerate sustainable economic growth and increase productivity in Finland.

The program will hire 85 postdoctoral researchers to 12 Finnish government research institutes between 2025 and 2028. Postdoctoral researchers will drive impactful, high-level research bridging science, industry, and administration.

The programme is supported by Finland’s long-term R&D funding. The purpose of State’s R&D funding, together with R&D investments from the businesses sector, is to raise Finland’s R&D expenditure to 4% of GDP by 2030.
