Opportunities

Our educational and research operations generate a sizeable flow of people through the lab. However, being a resident academic is certainly not the only meaningful way to interact with us. Below you'll find various ways to plug in to our fast paced community.

Jobs

At the moment, all our job openings can be seen here, among other open School of Art and Design positions. However, we're always interested in ways of introducing new topics and approaches to our curriculum, so we're always interested in new people. Feel free to contact us with your ideas.

Alumni

Our graduated students are most welcome to sign up for an Intranet user account, to follow and partake in the action within. For more information, please contact us for account details. Also make sure that you're on our graduates mailing list - if you haven't heard from us in a while, please notify us of your current email adress.

While the above are our official offerings for our graduates, Facebook users might be interested in the informal Media Lab Helsinki Group.

LinkedIn users are welcome to join our more low-key, though not-yet-announced LinkedIn group.

Investor opportunities

From time to time, student and research projects at the lab reach levels of maturity that may interest potential equity holders. We maintain a select mailing list to which we send notifications of such budding prospects - please contact us for more details.

Partnerships

We welcome interesting ways of collaborating with both academic and corporate entities.

Donations

Finnish law doesn't allow for tax-deductible donations for universities by individuals. As we are a part of Aalto University (starting from January 2010) our situation has changed, because the administrational base of the new university is different from the past one. We'd like to think that much of the culturally and socially meaningful work done here is indeed worthy of a fundraiser or two.
