The Horizon Europe - Online Event of the Future EU Research and Innovation Programme This online event of Horizon Europe will give a great overview of the current state of play of the Horizon Europe preparations from European Parliament's perspective as well as from Finland's national point of view, as the negotiations of the programme are coming closer to an end. It will also open up the work of the NCP network and explain what kind of support it can offer for applicants now and in the future. This event is organized by University of Oulu, University of Eastern Finland and University of Lapland in cooperation with East and North Finland EU Office. The event is aimed at researchers, leaders and research support offices of the three organizing universities.

To cover the issues that are relevant to all applicants we have set up two events. In our second event we go through issues such as ethics and sustainable developments goals. Horizon Europe is the EU's research and innovation programme for 2021-2027, offering competitive funding opportunities for research and innovation. The first calls for the programme will open early 2021 but getting ready has already started. Horizon Europe - how to succeed is a series of training events, designed for those who wish to bid to competitive research and innovation funding. In the events on 6 and 13 November we get through many of the important details you need to cover in your application to Horizon funding.

Reminder: Biology thursday seminar Today: Tuomas Hämälä: What can the genetic and genomic architecture of adaptation tell about evolution?
by Heikki Helanterä 05 Nov '20

05 Nov '20

Dear colleagues, A reminder of today's Biology Thursday seminar (5th Nov, 12:15, zoom link below): Dr. Tuomas Hämälä, University of Minnesota Twin Cities, on What can the genetic and genomic architecture of adaptation tell about evolution? A key determinant of evolutionary responses is the genetic and genomic architecture of adaptive traits: i.e., the control of phenotypes by one or many loci, the interactions between alleles, positions of loci in relation to genomic features, and structural arrangements. Using multi-omics data from two plant species (Theobroma cacao, Ambrosia artemisiifolia), I present how two contrasting features of the genetic architecture, polygenicity (multiple loci controlling a single phenotype) and pleiotropy (a single locus controlling multiple phenotypes), contribute to adaptive differentiation. Then, using newly assembled de novo genomes from T. cacao, I present how genomic structural variants both constrain and facilitate adaptation in this tropical tree species. See you soon!

In particular the new project aims at exploring Ecological genetics and genomics of seasonal life cycle regulation and will explore the genomic background and genetic architecture of adaptations for seasonal plasticity across several different points of the life cycle. Moreover, we will aim to test fitness effects of this genetic variation in both field and laboratory experiments. The project will contain aspects of both field and laboratory work to study the ecology, genetics and genomics of life cycle timing in several species of temperate butterflies. The prospective student will sample replicated populations and do controlled laboratory studies of how phenotypic adaptations and associated genetic variation is changing across shifts in voltinism. Finally, we plan to do use reciprocal transplant experiments to test the adaptive significance of local difference in these adaptations. I would be very grateful if you could forward this information to suitable candidates in your labs, or elsewhere, that would enjoy doing a PhD in Stockholm. The closing date is Dec 15 and the full add and instructions of how to apply is found at: https://www.su.se/english/about-the-university/work-at-su/available-jobs/ph… Thanks! Karl Karl Gotthard Associate Professor Department of Zoology Stockholm University

Hei, Kanditutkielmaa tekeville ja ohjaaville tiedoksi, että LuK-tutkielman kypsyysnäytteeksi käy LuK-työn tiivistelmä ja tämä ohjeistus on voimassa 31.5.2021 asti (etäopetus). Tiivistelmässä voi soveltaa gradun tiivistelmäohjetta: tiivistelmä esittelee ytimekkäästi tutkimusaiheen, tutkimuskysymykset, menetelmän, päätulokset sekä näiden pohjalta vedettävät johtopäätökset. Tiivistelmän pituuden ei tulisi olla yli sivun ja yliopiston ohjeistusrajana on 2400 merkkiä sisältäen välimerkit ja välit. Tiivistelmä liitetään osaksi kanditutkielmaa, ennen johdantoa. Terveisin, Lumi Viljakainen Biologian tutkinto-ohjelman vastuuhenkilö
