The 2021 FIA Formula 3 vice-champion will replace Richard Verschoor at MP Motorsport, joining his former teammate Clément Novalak for races in Saudi Arabia and the UAE.
Doohan won four races and took six podiums in Formula 3 this year, finishing second to fellow Red Bull junior driver Dennis Hauger.
It was his second year in Formula 3, after finishing as runner up in 2019 and 2020 in the Formula 3 Asian Championship.
"I am very excited and very happy to be partnering with MP Motorsport for the final two rounds of the Formula 2 Championship," said Doohan.
"It is an amazing opportunity. I cannot thank the team enough, as well my family and everyone who has enabled me to do these last two rounds."
"This opportunity will give me a little bit of a foundation and a base before I start my prep for next year."
"I am super excited."
"I don't have any real goals as I haven't been in anything higher than a Formula 3 car before."
"Free Practice will be my first time in something higher than Formula 3, so my expectations are very minimal."
"My goal is to get as much track time as possible and to constantly be learning."
"I am really excited, it is awesome to be heading to the circuits in Jeddah and Yas Marina, I can't wait."
