CALL FOR APPLICATIONS
JYU Visiting Fellow Programme 2025
The University of Jyväskylä (JYU), Finland, invites applications for the JYU Visiting Fellow Programme. The programme supports researchers with a doctoral degree, who are from outside Finland, to visit JYU for one (30 days) to three months (90 days) in 2025. The visiting period may start earliest in February 2025 and should end latest on December 31, 2025. The Visiting Fellow grant must be used during the year 2025 and it cannot be postponed to subsequent years.
The aim of the JYU Visiting Fellow Programme is to support high-quality research, strengthen University’s global engagement and strategic collaboration with international partners. The main emphasis of the programme is in research collaboration, but the Visiting Fellows may also participate in some educational activities at JYU.
Who can apply
The JYU Visiting Fellow Programme is intended for researchers with a doctoral degree (the degree must be granted before the start of the visit), who are based outside of Finland and will be hosted by one or more researchers in some JYU unit, i.e. the faculty, department or independent institute at JYU. The applicant should have an excellent track record in conducting and publishing scientific research and establishing international networks and be able to work fluently in English.
The applicant is expected to contact a potential host at one of the units (e.g. faculties or departments) of JYU before submitting the application for both to commit to collaboration and define joint research themes. A Visiting Fellow may be invited by a researcher with a permanent or a fixed-term contract as well as a grant researcher who works at JYU during the whole stay of the Visiting Fellow. A JYU researcher cannot invite and host more than one Visiting Fellow in 2025. An invitation letter from the JYU host is required for the application. Without this, the application will not be considered. Both the applicant and the host must be committed to the schedule and objectives of the planned visit and shall inform the host unit of the visit and its schedule. By committing to hosting the Visiting Fellow, the JYU host also commits to preparing a brief report (prepared together with the Visiting Fellow) of the outcomes and impact of the visit. The report is to be sent to the Research Council within 3 months after the end of the visit.

What the JYU Visiting Fellow Programme offers
A Visiting Fellow is paid a grant for a period of one (30 days) to three months (90 days) in 2025. If necessary, the visit may be split into two periods. The amount of the grant depends on the career stage of the Visiting Fellow:
The grant is intended to cover costs related to the visit at JYU such as travel expenses to and from Jyväskylä and accommodation expenses in the University’s guest apartments or in a flat from the open housing market. Thus, travel and accommodation costs are not reimbursed separately. We kindly ask the Visiting Fellows to make travel and accommodation arrangements by themselves. Please note that the Visiting Fellows do not have an employment relationship with JYU.
A Visiting Fellow will be part of our international and multidisciplinary university community focusing on high-level teaching, learning, research, and innovation. JYU has a lively academic community, consisting of over 1 600 researchers, and a versatile research infrastructure.
