About this position
The Faculty of Educational Sciences at the University of Helsinki is recruiting a doctoral researcher for the DELUDE project, which focuses on participation, exploratory approaches, and democracy in early childhood education. The position is based in the Department of Education and is linked to practice-oriented research carried out with staff and child groups in daycare settings.
The doctoral student will work on a dissertation within the project’s themes and make use of DELUDE’s collected research data. The role also includes participation in the project’s ongoing activities and collaboration with project partners, creating a close connection between the dissertation work and an active research environment.
The project is centred on questions of how children’s participation can be developed through different kinds of exploratory pedagogical approaches in early childhood education, with a strong focus on children’s rights and collaborative work with practitioners. The post is fully embedded in a faculty known for research and teaching in education and teacher education, within an international and well-resourced academic setting.
The appointment is full time and begins in 2027, subject to the candidate’s doctoral study status. Teaching duties are included only to a very limited extent.
