Earlier this fall, we opened three postdoctoral positions in game studies and received a record-breaking 83 applications from across the globe. These appointments mark a pivotal moment as we enter the exit phase of the Centre of Excellence in Game Culture Studies (CoE-GameCult), shaping the future of our research for 2026–2027.
We are proud to welcome Dr Joleen Blom, Dr Jamie Harper, and Dr Heikki Tyni to our future team.
On behalf of the entire research group at the Game Research Lab, we want to congratulate the chosen candidates, who bring their excellent and mutually complementary expertise into this strategically important phase of the research group. We extend our heartfelt thanks to all applicants for their thoughtful research proposals and to those who engaged in inspiring conversations during the interview process.
