[Samuli Pekkola (TAU)]

TWO POSTDOCTORAL RESEARCHER POSITIONS

We are recruiting two postdoctoral researchers to a large, multidisciplinary research consortium. Both positions are fixed-term positions for a duration of 28 months, starting May 1st 2022 or as mutually agreed.

TRANSFORM (Transforming welfare systems) is a new research platform, bridging the faculties of management and business, social sciences, and medicine and health technologies, and their numerous research groups. The TRANSFORM platform supports researchers and research groups that study welfare systems and services and their effectiveness and equitability, and helps them to collaborate with public, private and third sector organizations, and with other stakeholders. Welfare system/service refers to both health care and/or social care systems/services.

The TRANSFORM platform helps researchers and research projects in acquiring external research grants, setting up and carrying out the projects, and in interacting with different stakeholders. The platform aims at increasing the University's societal impact in regional, national and international levels.

Job description

The postdoctoral researchers' research topics could include, for example:

- Conceptualizing the effectiveness and equity of welfare systems and services.

- Assessing the effectiveness of welfare systems and services by utilizing different measures on different levels.

- Analysing, understanding and/or implementing different processes, practices or technologies to improve effectiveness.

- Developing different practices, processes, methods, techniques, technologies, or models to improve effectiveness.

- Evaluating and evaluation methods for public policies, reforms, and strategies

All these topics aim at improving the effectiveness and equity of welfare systems and services.

Possible research disciplines are represented at Tampere University and participating faculties: management and business, social sciences, and medicine and health technologies. In particular, the disciplines include those that focus on social or health policies and politics, welfare services and their practices, welfare sector digitalization and related technologies, service systems and economics, or management of the welfare services.

The postdoctoral researchers' duties include conducting own research in conjunction with existing research projects on abovementioned disciplines and areas, participating in acquiring research grants and project management, and small-scale teaching (about 56h/year) and student supervision.
