Academy Professors

Following the entry into force of the new Act on the Academy of Finland, the Academy’s research posts were discontinued. The Academy will, however, continue to provide funding for research posts as Academy Professor and Academy Research Fellow, where the researchers in question are in an employment relationship with the organisations where the research posts are located.
