About this position

The Faculty of Pharmacy at the University of Helsinki is seeking a doctoral researcher in social and clinical pharmacy for a fixed-term employment relationship of up to five years. The position is based in the Department of Pharmacology and Drug Therapy.

The research area sits within a multidisciplinary health sciences field that focuses on optimizing patients’ medication use, promoting health, and preventing disease. The advertised area covers the use, availability, and effectiveness of medicines and pharmaceutical services at both individual and population levels, medication safety and risk management in drug therapy, clinical pharmacy services within social and healthcare systems, drug policy, and the development of social and clinical pharmacy expertise.

The work is research-intensive and also includes teaching, pedagogical and content development of teaching, as well as societal interaction. The selected researcher will teach and supervise pharmacy students at different stages of study in basic and advanced courses in social and clinical pharmacy, and may also contribute to teaching in the faculty’s international master’s programme. Supervision of theses is also part of the role.

The teaching is mainly delivered in blended formats, including online environments, and the teaching workload is higher than is typical for a doctoral researcher, though limited to 20% of annual working time.

The Faculty of Pharmacy is a research and teaching environment with several departments and a strong national role in pharmacy education. The position is linked to doctoral training in the University of Helsinki research environment, and the most suitable doctoral programme is likely the Doctoral Programme in Drug Research.

The appointment is set in a setting that combines pharmacy research, education, and interaction with the wider health-care context.

Funding details

A salaried doctoral researcher position with a typical starting gross monthly salary of EUR 2,500–2,700; employment can last up to 5 years.

What's required

Applicants must have a higher university degree in pharmacy, preferably with a major in social pharmacy and/or clinical pharmacy, and must demonstrate ability and motivation for scientific research and teaching. Good academic performance is required, and good command of Finnish and English is required. Experience and knowledge of pharmaceutical services, social and health care practice, and principles of societal interaction are considered an advantage. The selected person must obtain the right to complete a doctoral degree at the University of Helsinki during the 6-month probation period, or already hold that doctoral study right there.

How to apply

Submit one PDF application via the University of Helsinki recruitment portal. Include a one-page cover letter, CV with degrees, research-methods studies, publications, teaching and work experience, and degree certificates plus study transcript. Name the PDF 'sosiaali- ja kliininen farmasia_sukunimi_etunimi' and apply in Finnish or Swedish.
