Recruitment, Teaching Skills and Docent at the Faculty of Social Sciences
The faculty employs approximately 200 people in various positions. Most of the personnel consists of research and teaching personnel from professors to research assistants. "Docent", on the other hand, is a title awarded by the university on application, not a position of employment.
Vacancies at the faculty are announced primarily on the University of Turku Open Vacancies page and other public media such as the Helsingin Sanomat and Turun Sanomat newspapers, and various other websites.
A curriculum vitae, a list of publications and a teaching portfolio are all required when applying for teaching positions and the title of docent - in research positions, at least the CV and the list of publications is requested. Each call for applications may also have more detailed requests for materials for example regarding key publications.
