[NORSLIS] Open fixed term position at Åbo Akademi

[Isto Huvila]

Dear all,

To clarify the announcement on an open position at Åbo Akademi  
University in Finland, the applications should be sent to the head of  
the department, Professor Gunilla Widén-Wulff  
(firstname.lastname at abo.fi). Personally I can provide background  
information about the project, but can also volunteer as a relayer for  
general position and employment related questions (for my part) to the  
people who are employed and knowledgeable about them at Åbo Akademi.  
The intent of the email message was not to give an impression that I  
am myself responsible for recruitment or currently employed at Åbo  
Akademi. You can always direct your questions also to Mr. Kim Holmberg  
(firstname.lastname at abo.fi).

Best Wishes,


Isto Huvila

PD, forskarassistent | Ph.D. research fellow
