Dear researchers,

regarding the mobility rule in Postdoctoral and Academy researcher call. I have consulted the Academy of Finland regarding this text that appears in the call text: A researcher applies for a post on a team led by person X at the Faculty of Y of the University of Oulu. The researcher completed their doctoral dissertation at the same Faculty in a team led by person Z. The work environment does not change. The mobility requirement is not met.

The AoF replied that this text will be removed from the call text. A researcher can change research group/research environment from the one where he/she did the PhD within the same faculty and still be eligible. This is the message I received from the academy today.

Best regards, Emma Pirilä
