by Markku Känsäkoski 21 Jun '23

21 Jun '23

Dear Researchers, I invite you to schedule a brief meeting with us if you or your team have a research-based idea and are interested in participating in the Research to Business funding call<https://www.businessfinland.fi/en/for-finnish-customers/services/funding/co…> in September 2023. The purpose of this meeting is to learn more about your idea, explore its applicability for the Research to Business call, and begin preparing your team for the opportunity. We encourage you to book a meeting without hesitation, as we are always eager to hear about promising concepts that stem from long-term research, especially in their early stages. During the meeting, we can discuss various aspects of your idea, including its business potential, your team, and the necessary steps to prepare your team and materials for the funding call. To schedule a meeting, please use the following link: Book time with Markku Känsäkoski: Research to Business info, September 2023 call <https://outlook.office.com/bookwithme/user/dddaf13d241c4ff68c2a613bfd7d628c…> Best regards, Markku Känsäkoski Janne Haverinen University Innovation Centre

Researchers' Night Exhibition - submit your photos now!
by Dominika Bujnakova 19 Jun '23

19 Jun '23

Dear colleagues, There will be a biology research exhibition during the Researchers' Night on 29th September. Theme is – “Living World from Different Perspectives”. There will be 15 pictures from our researchers, that will display the study organisms from researchers’ perspective. Some of our colleagues already submitted their pictures 🙂. [cid:ffff53a1-ef70-4027-8d85-6a4850b1aa15] There is more research going on at our department, which would be really great to show off. So far, I have got mostly animal images, but there is also a lot of plant and bacterial research going on, so it would be great if we get more representatives of these fields as well, plus more animals, too! To remind you, pictures could include, and are not limited to: x-ray images, pictures of skeleton, juvenile individuals, stained plant or animal cells, bacteria, plant leaves, close-up images of insect, animal feathers, plants, images of animals from a drone, plants/forests from a drone, or anything else that would show the living world how we see and study it, which is usually different from what public might perceive. In any case, this is a great opportunity to showcase your research, contribute to science communication, and practice your skills in cramming lots of info into a short but informative text. REQUIREMENTS: 1. PICTURE * As high resolution as you can get * Square composition if possible * Your own image, or image from a colleague with permission; no screenshots 1. ENGLISH TEXT * 100 words maximum * Contains species name in English and Latin * Explains why the research is important or why the species is important = why should general public care about our research and how is it relevant to them * How the picture was taken * What do you do in the project * Species name and the relevance of the research are the crucial parts, and if nothing else fits, then the rest can be put to the website (see below). 1. FINNISH TRANSLATION * Translation of English text - so do not worry too much about 100 words limit in Finnish text when translating 1. LINK FOR QR CODE * Link to the project description - either website, blog, or your own portfolio where you explain your project in detail * The link can lead to even your "Researcher's profile", where you state in more detail what is your project about and why it is important SUBMIT (TO ME) AS SOON AS YOU CAN, THE LATEST BY THE END OF JULY. (This is because the exhibition will have another, a more active part based on the picture submission, for which I need to prepare in advance.) In case you have any questions or are not sure what picture would be suitable, just send more pics to me and I will help you with that. Let me know if you need to see examples of the text needed for the picture. Best wishes, Domi ________________________________ Dominika Bujnáková Affiliated Doctoral Researcher, Biodiverse Anthropocenes<https://www.oulu.fi/en/biodiverse-anthropocenes> Department of Ecology and Genetics University of Oulu, Finland +358 50 44 15 479 https://wildlifegenomics.wordpress.com/ [cid:55ea4b67-82c5-4971-9d39-ac0d969ffcc3]<https://wildlifegenomics.wordpress.com/>

post doc and PhD jobs in Jyväskylä with Ilkka Kronholm
by Heikki Helanterä 16 Jun '23

16 Jun '23

Dear colleagues, please see below, and spread the word to any suitable candidates you might have in mind, for job openings in a very interesting project at the University of Jyväskylä! Best wishes, Heikki >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Postdoc and PhD researcher in evolutionary genetics and genomics A position for a post-doctoral and a PhD researcher is available in the group of Ilkka Kronholm at the department of Biological and Environmental Sciences at the University of Jyväskylä. Starting earliest on 1st of September 2023 or later in the autumn, the postdoc is for three years, and the PhD position is fully funded for four years. My group studies the properties of mutations and spontaneous epigenetic changes, parental effects, and genetic architecture of complex traits. Our research questions are focused on understanding how different intrinsic and extrinsic factors affect evolutionary adaptation. As model systems we use the filamentous fungus Neurospora crassa and fission yeast. The researchers will join an ERC-funded project that studies the properties of epistatic interactions. Epistatic interactions are known to play an important part in certain aspects of evolution, such as speciation. However, role of epistasis in adaptation has remained controversial. In this project, we will estimate the probability that a pair of new mutations will exhibit an epistatic interaction, and study the distribution of epistatic effects. To achieve these goals, we will leverage mutation accumulation experiments with microbes, genetic analysis, and genomics. If you are interested in evolutionary or quantitative genetics and using newest tools of genomics to answer fundamental questions about evolution this can be the project for you! More information and links to online application forms, apply latest 20th of July! Post-doc: https://tinyurl.com/39bwztpw PhD researcher: https://tinyurl.com/yc68v62b Informal inquiries are welcome and should be directed to Ilkka Kronholm email: ilkka.kronholm(a)jyu.fi<mailto:ilkka.kronholm@jyu.fi> lab website: ikronholm.net twitter: @kronholmlab
