Fields of research and tasks

Artistic Research (AR) is one of the three significant research areas - alongside arts education and arts history - at Uniarts Helsinki.

As a Postdoctoral Researcher, in addition to personal research, your tasks may also include re-search activity development work on behalf of the University of the Arts Helsinki, i.e. project planning, applying for funding as well as other communal university activities. These individually agreed upon tasks may account for approximately 25% of your total working time.
