Yhdysvaltojen politiikan ja vallan tutkimuskeskus on alusta saakka mahdollistanut tutkijavaihdon niin Yhdysvaltoihin kuin sieltä tänne. Alla lisätietoa vaihdosta sekä henkilöistä, jotka ovat olleet Suomessa vaihdossa.
Haemme vieläkin vierailevaa vanhempaa tutkijaa, lisätietoa tästä englanniksi.
Vierailun pituus:
Tutkijavaihdon pituus on noin kolmesta kuukaudesta vuoteen.
Palkka:
Palkka neuvotellaan Ulkopoliittisen instituutin johtajan kanssa. Koska Suomella on sopimus Yhdysvaltojen kanssa verojen maksusta, verot maksetaan joko Suomeen tai Yhdysvaltoihin.
Palkka kattaa matka-avustuksen sekä rahoitusta tapahtumille ja julkaisulle. Tutkija saa käyttöönsä toimistotyöhön kuuluvat perustarvikkeet kuten tietokoneen. Vaihto kattaa myös työterveydenhuollon. Tutkijan odotetaan maksavan omat asumis- ja elämiskustannuksensa.
Asuminen:
Ulkopoliittinen instituutti auttaa sinua löytämään asunnon Helsingistä. Useimmat ovat vuokranneet asunnon yliopiston vierastalosta, jossa vuokra on n. 2000-3000 euroa kuukaudessa riippuen huoneiston koosta. Yliopiston vierastalo sijaitsee lähellä instituuttia. Vieraileva tutkija voi myös vuokrata halutessaan asunnon vapailta markkinoilta.
Odotukset:
Instituutti toivoo, että vieraileva tutkija tuottaisi artikkelin talon julkaisusarjaan. Eri julkaisumuodot löytyvät instituutin sivuilta. Aiheesta voidaan keskustella riippuen tutkijan tutkimusaiheesta. Vierailevan tutkijan toivotaan myös osallistuvan seminaareihin niin puhujana kuin osallistujana sekä olevan median tavoitettavissa.
