The following, from 
http://www.helsinki.fi/collegium/Application%20procedure/announcement2007.htm, 
was brought to my attention by Paula Hohti, formerly of the Material 
Renaissance project, who currently has a research post at the Collegium. 
More information on the Collegium at 
http://www.helsinki.fi/collegium/eng/home.htm.



The Helsinki Collegium for Advanced Studies is an independent institute 
of the University of Helsinki which conducts cutting-edge research in 
the humanities, social sciences, law, behavioural sciences and theology, 
promotes interdisciplinary interaction, and supports international 
research cooperation.

The Helsinki Collegium for Advanced Studies invites applications for

8-12 researcher positions

The term of office for successful applicants will begin on 1 August 
2007. The monthly salary will depend on the assessed job demand level 
and personal work performance. The Board of the Helsinki Collegium for 
Advanced Studies will determine the length of the appointments for a 
fixed term of 1 - 3 years based on the research plan of each applicant.

Applicants best able to meet the requirements of the post will have a 
doctoral degree, previous research experience in the humanities and/or 
social sciences, and the ability to work in an international scholarly 
community. The working language of the Helsinki Collegium for Advanced 
Studies is English.

The Collegium will appoint applicants who are at different stages of 
their academic careers. It will aim to allocate three or four researcher 
positions to research on solidarity. If some of the applicants 
specialising in research on solidarity wish to establish a research 
group at the Collegium, they should specify the composition and research 
topic of this group in their applications.
