Before submitting the application, the applicant must consult with the professor in the relevant subject/discipline regarding the application. The professors of the disciplines are best placed to assess whether it is appropriate to appoint new docents in the discipline in question and how the docentship can in practice be linked to the activities of the discipline. The specific field of the docentship to be applied for must also be defined at the same time.
Before filling out the application form, please familiarise yourself with the guidelines provided by Turku School of Economics for those applying for the title of docent.
