Boxes in EcoGen deep-freezer?!
by Kaisa-Riikka Mustonen 22 Aug '23

22 Aug '23

Hello all, and especially those who have samples in the first deep-freezer on the right-hand side in the biology lab freezer room. There is very little space left, and I am worried that the topmost samples are not in -70 anymore. There are for example 2 styrofoam boxes half empty that does not have anyone's name on them. Whoever owns them, could you contact me please? Is there any chance the things inside could be kept in bags or smaller boxes, as the half empty ones take lot of space in the deep-freezer? Thanks! Cheers, ***************************** Kaisa-Riikka Mustonen Postdoctoral Researcher Arctic Ecology and Biogeochemistry Office B238 Ecology and Genetics Research Unit University of Oulu Finland

The Postdoctoral Fellowships action targets researchers holding a PhD who wish to carry out their research activities abroad, acquire new skills and develop their careers. PFs help researchers gain experience in other countries, disciplines and non-academic sectors. There are 2 types of Postdoctoral Fellowships: European Postdoctoral Fellowships. They are open to researchers moving within Europe or coming to Europe from another part of the world to pursue their research career. These fellowships take place in an EU Member State or Horizon Europe Associated Country and can last between 1 and 2 years. Researchers of any nationality can apply. Global Postdoctoral Fellowships. They fund the mobility of researchers outside Europe. The fellowship lasts between 2 to 3 years, of which the first 1 to 2 years will be spent in a non-associated Third Country, followed by a mandatory return phase of 1 year to an organisation based in an EU Member State or Horizon Europe Associated Country.

Ilmoittautumisaika ja hyväksyminen kursseille / Enrollment time and accepting students for the courses
by Minna Vanhatalo 15 Aug '23

15 Aug '23

Hei, biologian opintojaksoille on pääsääntöisesti laitettu ilmoittautuminen päättymään noin viikkoa ennen kurssin alkua, poikkeuksena 1. vuoden kurssit, joissa ilmoittautumisaika on pidempi. Jos opettaja haluaa muuttaa ilmoittautumisaikaa, voi hän tehdä sen itse: Opettajan työpöytä -> toteutukset (palapeli -symboli) -> omat tulevat toteutukset Rytmitys- ja tilatoiveet ja ajoitus: Muokkaa ajoitusta ja lisätietoja -painike, kohta Ilmoittautumisaika. Älä muuta muita tietoja ajoituksessa! Jos huomaatte että opiskelijat eivät ole valinneet esim. harjoitusryhmätoivettaan yms. voitte lähettää heille sähköpostia: Opiskelijat välilehti, väkäset kaikkien tai tiettyjen opiskelijoiden kohdalle, sen jälkeen Kirjekuori Ohjeet ilmoittautumisten hyväksymiseen ja opiskelijoiden asettaminen opetusryhmiin https://wiki.eduuni.fi/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=272173762 Huom. jos kurssille on ilmoittautunut opiskelijoita, joilla ei näy läsnäoloa opiskelijalistassa, tämä tarkoittaa vain sitä, että kandivaiheen opiskelija haluaa suorittaa kurssin maisteritutkintoonsa, ja on siksi ilmoittautunut sille maisteriopiskelijanumerollaan. Tällaiset biologian opiskelijat hyväksytään kurssille, jos tilaa on. terv. Minna PS Kuulin että Tuudo-ilmoittautumisissa on ollut ongelmia, kurssin yhteyteen laitetut kysymykset eivät ole näkyneet (ei koske montaa kurssia biologialla). ____ _____ _____ Hei, Enrollment date for courses in biology will end approx one week before the course starts. Teacher can change the enrollment time: Teacher's desktop -> realizations (jigsaw piece symbol) -> Future course units Suggestions for time and location: Edit timing and additional information, Enrollment date. Do not change any other dates!

Teaching in the Ecology and Genetics research unit
by Lumi Viljakainen 14 Aug '23

14 Aug '23

Hei all, I kindly ask all the postdocs and PhD students to take a look at our curriculum (BSc: https://opas.peppi.oulu.fi/en/programme/32425?period=2023-2024, MSc: https://opas.peppi.oulu.fi/en/programme/32482?period=2023-2024) and then write in this table<https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1GtuvuMjv88-oXPSsnEFqL41ZMONGMEP4kOc…>, in which courses you have already agreed or would be willing to teach and in which format (lectures/exercises). I encourage postdocs and PhD students to indicate if they would like to give lectures (experience in lecturing would be a great asset in your CV). You are also welcome to suggest new courses, e.g. a course on scientific writing would benefit our students. Here's a reminder about the principles for teaching hours in the Ecology and Genetics research unit and for the academic personnel in the Biodiversity unit: * The maximum number of contact teaching hours conforms to the recommendation made by the collective bargaining agreement: 394 hours for University Teachers and University Lecturers, 254 hours for University Researchers / Senior Research Fellows and 141 hours for Professors, also for those who have tenure track positions. The University of Oulu has aligned that in a maximum of 10 hours of contact teaching is given per one credit (1 credit = 27 hours) and one contact teaching hour is 45 minutes. * All postdocs on salary participate in teaching master's level courses (also bachelor's level if they want). We follow the Academy of Finland's recommendation of teaching 5% of the total working time, which is 80 hours/year. Supervising PhD, bachelor's and master's theses counts toward the teaching hours. * All PhD students on salary participate in teaching either in the bachelor's or master's level courses, 50 hours/year (full-time employment) or 25 hours/year (10% contract). Supervising bachelor's and master's theses counts toward the teaching hours. If you have any questions regarding teaching in our Unit, please don't hesitate to ask me.

Here is the schedule for the air ventilation repairs (unfortunately in finnish). Looks like the preparations started today with the building of the alternative ventilation system. This is ventilation machine is what they lifted in this morning to the parking spots of the children's garden opposite to the parking spot of maastotyöntekijät/field workers. They say there will be a lot of maintenance traffic in the area and parking in the field workers spots is prohibited with immediate effect. They will confirm the timing of the actual repairs later on.

Fumehoods and overall ventilation are having problems in the lab
by Petri Sundqvist 11 Aug '23

11 Aug '23

Hello everybody, The fumehoods have had troubles with suction going offline yesterday and today, so if you are working with fumehoods please check that there is suction and the light is green. ISS told it is caused by malfunctioning relay, which is to be replaced in the coming ventilation maintenance. I also heard that the maintenance will also start soon so here’s a recap about it: The maintenance was supposed to be 1 year ago but it was postponed due to regulatory issues. Back then it was said that the maintenance will last for 4 months during which the ventilation is offline in the are show in the attachment of this email, but fumehoods and other critical ventilation (such as the local exhaust ventilation in B160a and B155) will have a separate arrangement for suction. This will be some sort of shipping container that will be placed on the parking spot for maastotyöntekijät / field workers, so those parking spots will also be unavailable for the time period. I will inform more when I hear the exact dates for this operation. BR, Petri S
