About this position

The University of Jyväskylä is recruiting 5–9 Postdoctoral Researchers for the Centre of Excellence in Music, Mind, Body and Brain (CoE) at the Department of Music, Art and Culture Studies. This is a three-year fixed-term, externally funded position starting on 2027-01-04.

The CoE studies the cognitive, emotional, bodily, and interactive experiences of music, including how music experience changes across the lifespan and how it manifests in health and illness. The research programme also examines how music-based interventions may support learning, development, everyday wellbeing, and rehabilitation. A central feature of the centre is the integration of experimental, computational, psychometric, and statistical approaches to understand musical engagement and its mechanisms.

The successful candidates will conduct fundamental research, design studies within the centre’s themes, analyse complex behavioural and/or physiological data, contribute to interdisciplinary collaboration across psychology, music, neuroscience, education, health sciences, and computer science, publish in peer-reviewed journals, present internationally, mentor master’s students, and help develop grant applications and collaborative initiatives.

Applicants must hold a PhD in a relevant field such as psychology, neuroscience, musicology, music technology, education, health sciences, computer science, or data science, and the PhD must be completed before the start date. Strong expertise in one or more core themes—such as music and emotion, movement and entrainment, social interaction, development, health and wellbeing, or music therapy—is expected, together with advanced methodological skills and excellent English communication skills.

The salary follows the Finnish University Salary System and is expected to be approximately 3600–4800 € per month gross, depending on experience and qualifications. Additional benefits include a holiday bonus, occupational healthcare, and relocation support for those moving from abroad.

To apply, candidates must use the online application system and ensure their ORCID profile is public and up to date. Application materials must be submitted in English and PDF format and include a CV, a research plan (max 4 pages), a motivation/cover letter (max 2 pages), a numbered publication list, and a degree certificate. The application deadline is 2026-09-13.
