Grants will be awarded for a 5-year period. The total grant during the 5-year period is 1.25 million euro, divided over 250 000 euro/year. The professorships will be anchored at a Finnish university in a full-time position. Only minor and time-limited affiliation with institutions abroad is allowed. The applicant’s principal research group must be in Finland.

* Applicants may be of any nationality, but applicants located outside of Finland must be willing to relocate to a Finnish host institution to establish their research group there. * Applicants must have an MD, PhD or equivalent title, have docent or associate professor level qualification, and evidence of a successful and independent career in research. * Applicants currently employed in tenured, tenure-track, or permanent research positions at a Finnish university are not eligible for the position.
