Project description
An innovative programme for postdoctoral research excellence
The Turku Institute for Advanced Studies (TIAS) at the University of Turku (Finland) produces world-class research and prepares its fellows for leadership roles. The MSCA-funded TIES project is an innovative programme within TIAS that advances innovative research for postdoctoral research excellence. TIES promotes scientific excellence by integrating intersectoral perspectives and methods into the traditional Institute for Advanced Studies model of "bottom-up" research. It also fosters career development through a new range of options for non-tenured researchers, enabling them to move freely between sectors. TIES will build a sustainable infrastructure for innovation-facilitating knowledge exchange and for researchers to be able to circulate freely at regional, national and international levels. It will also encourage the realisation of new concepts and ways of working.
Objective
Turku Intersectoral Excellence Scheme (TIES) is an innovative fellowship programme that seeks to advance the state-of-the-art for postdoctoral research excellence. It is based within Turku Institute for Advanced Studies (TIAS) at the University of Turku (Finland) and is supported by Turku Science Park. TIAS has a record for producing world-class research and developing its fellows for research leadership roles. TIES offers:
• Scientific excellence: TIES integrates intersectoral perspectives and methods into TIAS’s interdisciplinary Institute for Advanced Studies model on a formal basis. This expands the horizons of academic research, enabling it to envision original solutions able to address complex issues that affect society as a whole.
• Career development: TIES offers a new range of options for non-tenured researchers, enabling them to move freely between sectors, acquire unique skills and experiences, increase their career choices and develop as intersectoral thought leaders.
• Innovation: TIES seeks to build a sustainable infrastructure for innovation by 1. enabling knowledge, technology and researchers to circulate freely at regional, national and international levels; 2. forging deep relations of trust between sectors, connecting intellectual excellence with the practical know-how and infrastructure needed to realise new concepts.
TIAS proposes to recruit 4 TIES fellows in 2022 and 2023 (8 positions in total) through an open, international, competitive, merit-based selection process dependent on external peer-review, in line with the European Charter and Code. These will be full members of TIAS, with excellent working conditions. During their 36-month fellowships, they will be required to practice international and intersectoral mobility, conduct research in a non-academic sector, undertake research secondments with a non-academic host organisation, and develop an individual development programme with mentors and supervisors from inside and outside academia.
