Mailing this also here in case we missed someone BR, Petri Sundqvist From: bioposti-bounces(a)lists.oulu.fi <bioposti-bounces(a)lists.oulu.fi> On Behalf Of Petri Sundqvist Sent: 18. joulukuutata 2019 11:21 To: bioposti(a)lists.oulu.fi Subject: Re: [Bioposti] Old computers within Ecology and Genetics Hello again and happy Christmas to all of you, Just a reminder and some updates for those who have expiring computers inside Ecology and Genetics. It is likely we will have the new computers installed on the 27th of December, which is the Friday of next week. If you are away on holidays and it is not suitable for you that we will replace the computer during your leave, please contact me so we can arrange a better time for the installation. I also heard that some of you like to use Internet Explorer as your browser, so here are also the instructions to backup those bookmarks and passwords. In this case also notice that Internet Explorer has been replaced with Microsoft Edge in Windows 10. Here is how to backup Internet Explorer: https://kb.wisc.edu/helpdesk/page.php?id=1419 And here is how to recover it to Microsoft Edge: https://support.microsoft.com/en-gb/help/4028355/microsoft-edge-import-favo… BR, Petri Sundqvist 050 472 7344 From: bioposti-bounces(a)lists.oulu.fi<mailto:bioposti-bounces@lists.oulu.fi> <bioposti-bounces(a)lists.oulu.fi<mailto:bioposti-bounces@lists.oulu.fi>> On Behalf Of Petri Sundqvist Sent: 9. joulukuutata 2019 12:27 To: bioposti(a)lists.oulu.fi<mailto:bioposti@lists.oulu.fi> Subject: [Bioposti] Old computers within Ecology and Genetics To whom it concerns, We will receive new computers during the last week of December for those whose computer will be unplugged from the university intranet. If the background on your computer has been replaced by a message that this computer will be unplugged, please make sure you have all your personal files from this computer transferred over to the K:\ drive or an external hard drive/thumb drive. I also suggest to backup the bookmarks/passwords from your browser to the same K:\ drive (or to your Google Account) so you can transfer them easily to the new computer. Here is how to do this with Mozilla and Chrome: Mozilla: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/back-and-restore-information-firefox-p… Chrome: https://www.repairwin.com/how-to-backup-chrome-profile-settings-bookmarks-e… If there are any obstacles you encounter, please contact me with email or by phone and we can figure these out. I will remind about this again during next week so we can get these sorted out in time. BR, Petri Sundqvist 050 472 7344

FW: Post Doc Pool, Säätiöinfo, Horizon Europe
by Jouni Aspi 13 Dec '19

13 Dec '19

From: Päivi Tomperi <Paivi.Tomperi(a)oulu.fi> Sent: 13. joulukuuta 2019 13:31 Subject: Post Doc Pool, Säätiöinfo, Horizon Europe Säätiöiden post doc -pooli 10-vuotias – uusi hakukierros käynnistyy Säätiöiden post doc -pooli järjestää uuden apurahahaun ajalla 15.12.2019–15.1.2020. Poolin kautta myönnettävät apurahat on tarkoitettu väitöskirjan jälkeiseen tutkimustyöhön ulkomailla. Ehtona on, että ulkomainen tutkimusjakso kestää vähintään yhdeksän kuukautta. Haun tulokset julkistetaan maalis-huhtikuussa 2020. Säätiöiden post doc -pooli perustettiin kymmenen vuotta sitten edistämään tutkijoiden ja Suomen tieteen kansainvälistymistä. Tänä aikana pooliin kuuluvat säätiöt ovat jakaneet noin 30 miljoonaa euroa Suomesta ulkomaille lähteville tohtoreille. 20 hakukierroksen jälkeen apurahoja on saanut jo noin 560 tohtoria. Heistä noin kolmannes on saanut kaksivuotisen rahoituksen. 10 years of Säätiöiden post doc -pooli – A new application round begins The Post Doc Pool opens another application round for grants from 15 December 2019 to 15 January 2020. Grants awarded by the Pool are intended for post-doctoral research abroad. The research period abroad must last at least nine months. Results of the current application round will be published in March or April 2020. The Finnish Foundations’ Post Doc Pool (in Finnish Säätiöiden post doc -pooli) was founded ten years ago to support researchers and Finnish research in becoming more international. During its first decade, the Pool’s foundations have granted some 30 million euros to post doctoral researchers heading abroad from Finland. After twenty application rounds, already around 560 scholars have received funding through the Pool. One third of the grants have been awarded for two-year periods. www.postdocpooli.fi<http://www.postdocpooli.fi> Säätiöinfo: Työsuojelurahaston ja Kunnallisalan kehittämissäätiön rahoitus Kunnallisalan kehittämissäätiön (KAKS) ja Työsuojelurahaston (TSR) yhdyshenkilöt vierailevat tammikuussa Oulussa. Tule kuulemaan millaisia rahoitusmahdollisuuksia on tarjolla väitöskirjatyöntekijöille, tutkijoille jne. Vierailun yhteydessä voit myös halutessasi keskustella omasta tutkimushankeideastasi henkilökohtaisesti asiantuntijoiden kanssa. Aika: 16.1.2020 klo 12.00 – 15.30 Paikka: Tellus Stage Ohjelma: 12.00 - 12.45 Kunnallisalan kehittämissäätiön tutkimusrahoitus Veli Pelkonen, säätiön asiamies 12.45 - 13.30 Työsuojelurahaston tutkimusrahoitus Kenneth Johansson, toimitusjohtaja 13.30 – 13.45 Kahvi 13.45 – 14.15 Hyvän säätiöhakemuksen tunnusmerkit Maarit Jokela, innovaatioasiamies 14.15. – 14.45 Miten onnistuin laatimaan menestyksekkään rahoitushakemuksen Kunnallisalan kehittämissäätiölle?

Allocation must be accepted latest by Friday 3rd of January 2020. The number of months days in December 2019 is 18 and months hours is 132,3 It is very important for the financial situation of the units/faculties and the whole university, that working hours will be allocated regularly into projects, orders and cost centers through Sole TM. Without proper allocation process of hours, the financial result of the units/faculties and the whole university will not be correct, because through this process the hours allocated into projects will be invoiced from the financiers.

FW: Suomen Riistanhoito-Säätiön stipendit / Wildlife management stipends
by Minna Vanhatalo 12 Dec '19

12 Dec '19

Hei, here’s a stipend announcement for the pro gradu and PhD thesis students in the field of wildlife management and game animal ecology. Unfortunately the pages are only in Finnish but ask your supervisor to help you with the application procedure. Deadline is 3.1.2020. terv. Minna From: Riistasäätiö/Asiamies <asiamies(a)Riistasaatio.fi> Sent: torstai 12. joulukuuta 2019 11.52 Subject: Suomen Riistanhoito-Säätiön stipendit Hei, olisiko teidän kauttanne mahdollista saada esim. ilmoitustauluille mainos Säätiön stipendihausta tai muulla tavoin viestiä eteenpäin niille opiskelijoille, joita asia koskee? Suomen Riistanhoito-Säätiö jakaa vuosittain apurahoja opiskelijoille ja nuorille tutkijoille riista-aiheisiin opinnäytetöihin ja tutkimuksiin. Hakuaika päättyy ensi vuoden stipendien osalta jo 3.1. ja paperimainosten jakaminen postitse ei tänä vuonna valitettavasti onnistunut. Lisätietoja hausta löytyy osoitteesta: https://www.riistasaatio.fi/hakuohjeet Stipendihakua on mainostettu jo aiemmin suoraan opiskelijajärjestöihin, mutta olisi hienoa tavoittaa myös jatko-opiskelijoita. Kiitos jo etukäteen! ystävällisin terveisin Eeva-Maria Suontakanen projektikoordinaattori Suomen Riistanhoito-Säätiö asiamies(a)riistasaatio.fi<mailto:asiamies@riistasaatio.fi> 050 301 2647
