Yearly lab cleanup date
by Petri Sundqvist 17 Oct '24

17 Oct '24

Hello Everybody, Here is the long promised calendar voting link for the yearly lab cleanup, which will be arranged on the last two weeks of September: https://webapp.oulu.fi/framadate/studs.php?poll=dzJVegtsQJ23KIzT I will close this vote in 7 days on 13th of September, which is next weeks Wednesday. This year we will focus on Molecular Labs, Cardboard Box Storage (which is the second floor storage near microbe laboratory) and Multipurpose laboratory (where I sit nowadays). We will be printing a blueprint of the molecular labs where every user can reserve the table space of molecular lab corridors/slots for your group a few weeks at a time. This way we can maximize the use of table space which has been running low. We are also asking for every group who works in the molecular labs to join the cleanup day, because we have to clear the cabins and shelves of long term storage items and move those to the cardboard box storage, or the more often used things to the storage next to deep freezer room. We are also hoping to transfer all the empty pipette tip boxes to cardboard box storage, since they need to be refilled in order to be valuable in the laboratory. We also encourage everybody to go through the Cardboard Box Storage and renew the names and dates on the boxes. If the date is older than 2 years, the boxes will be evaluated by our lab people, taken to common use (which might mean keeping them in storage for future) or discarded if there is nothing valuable there. Currently there are quite many boxes labelled to year 2021 so after the turn of year 2024 they will be evaluated. We will also be cleaning the Multipurpose laboratory. We will be placing all the unmarked stuff that is stored here also in cardboard boxes and transfer them into the cardboard box storage. The boxes will be labelled Multipurpose Lab and the labels will not be renewed in the coming years, so if you have a feeling your stuff is here, please join the laboratory cleaning day. BR, Petri Sundqvist

Funding opportunity for supervisors of PhD theses in collaboration with research institutes- call ends April 7
by Heikki Helanterä 27 Mar '24

27 Mar '24

Hi all, see below – funding available for supervision of PhD theses in collaboration with research institutes! It is formulated a bit unclearly but I asked and the PhD student does not need to work in a research institute, as long as there is some kind of a collaboration! First come, first served so be quick! Cheers, Heikki From: phd-supervisors-bounces(a)lists.oulu.fi <phd-supervisors-bounces(a)lists.oulu.fi> On Behalf Of Marjukka Käsmä Sent: tiistai 26. maaliskuuta 2024 10.29 To: phd-supervisors(a)lists.oulu.fi Subject: [Phd-supervisors] Research institute cooperation: funding for supervisors - call ends April 7 Dear doctoral supervisor, Do you cooperate with a research institute in doctoral supervision? This and next week you can still apply for funding for enhancing supervision in research institute cooperation. What? The university is allocating strategic funding to supervisors who are committed to enhanced supervision of a doctoral researcher working in a research institute. The goal is to improve the cooperation between the university and research institutes as well as the advancement of doctoral researchers working with research institutions. Applications will be funded on a first come, first served basis for a maximum of 13 supervisors. So far, four applications have been funded. Funding is therefore still available for nine supervisors. Read the attachment for further details. Amount of funding 10 000 €, with a possibility for two further funding allocations if an annual review shows advancement, for a maximum total of 3 x 10 000 €. How can the money be spent? The funding is to be used to support doctoral training coordinated between the university and the research institute, but no specific guidelines are given for the use of the money. The applying faculty will use their best judgement. To date, funding has been granted, e.g., for short-term salaried periods for doctoral researchers to be able to focus on their research, travel expenses, and software and other infrastructure costs. How do I apply? The application should show how funding will be used to develop supervision. For more instructions on the contents of the application, see the attached slides. The application must be approved by the Dean of the Faculty. Faculties can negotiate with research institutions to nominate supervisor-doctoral researcher pairs for funding. Send your application to uniogs(a)oulu.fi<mailto:uniogs@oulu.fi>. When? Deadline for submissions is April 7, 2024.
