by Päivi Tomperi 02 Jun '22

02 Jun '22

Dear Academy Research Fellow applicant, The Academy of Finland previously had three funding opportunities for early-career researchers: funding for research post as Postdoctoral Researcher, funding for research post as Academy Research Fellow and Academy Project funding targeted at early-career researchers. These three funding opportunities will no longer be opened for application. Instead, the Academy will launch a new Academy Research Fellowships scheme as of autumn 2022. A new Academy Research Fellowship supports early-career researchers on fast career tracks. The aim is to enable the Academy Research Fellow to make significant career progress towards more demanding research positions and achieve an established position in the national and international research community. The Academy Research Fellowship provides funding for four years. Funds can be made available for payment of the researcher’s salary and other costs associated with implementation of the research plan. Call text will be published in early June and the application period will open end of August. Deadline for applications is 28th September. Eligibility criteria for Academy Research Fellowship 2022 * Researchers who have completed their first doctorate at least two but no more than nine years ago (between 30.9.2013−30.9.2020). * Not be granted to persons holding a permanent, senior research position or comparable position. These include positions as professor, assistant/associate professor or research director. * Person who have received Academy of Finland funding for a research post as Postdoctoral Researcher may be granted an Academy Research Fellowship during the last year of the Postdoctoral Researcher funding period if the funding periods do not overlap. * Person who has received the current funding for a research post as Academy Research Fellow will not be eligible for the new Academy Research Fellowship. Support Services for applicants The Research and Project Services will offer support for researchers applying the new Academy Research Fellow<https://www.aka.fi/en/research-funding/apply-for-funding/how-to-apply-for-f…> funding by offering several workshops and commenting rounds for your application (see attached).

The week after that (13.-20.6.) you will join in the peer commenting round and get helpful ideas for your text. All abstracts are drafts and not final versions! In the final session on the 20 of June, we can discuss any issues that may have risen during the process and plan ahead for August. 7.6. at 1-2 pm What is required from the abstract for an Academy application?

Tutkijat kenttätyössä kesällä? Juttuvinkki medialle
by Kaisu Koivumäki 23 May '22

23 May '22

Hei Etsin medialle pian vinkattavaksi juttuaihetta tutkijoista kenttätöissä. Ala voi olla mikä vaan arkeologiasta luonnontutkimukseen, vesistöihin, hyönteisiin, eläimiin erilaisilla menetelmillä tai esim. kartoituksia tms. Alustavana ideana on kertoa mielenkiintoisista tutkimuksista, prosesseista ja arkityöstä, ja niiden kautta tutkimuksesta laajemminkin. Valokuvattavat kohteet (Pohjois-Suomessa) herättävät myös kiinnostusta. Laita vinkki + email+puh vapaamuotoisesti minulle sähköpostissa tai vaikka pirauta, puh. 050 4344261. Voit myös vinkata kollegoiden kenttätöistä ja viestiä voi välittää eteenpäin, kiitos paljon. Yst Kaisu yliopiston viestinnästä Researchers in fieldwork this summer? A tip for the media I'm looking for a story to pitch to the media soon about researchers working in the field. The field/topic can be anything from archaeology to nature, water, insects, animals using various methods, mapping, etc. The initial idea is to tell about interesting research and everyday work, processes, and through them research in general. Photographic sites (in northern Finland) are also of interest. Please, send your tip + email+phone to me or call tel. 050 4344261. Thank you and best regards, Kaisu Koivumäki Communications specialist, PhD Science Communication kaisu.koivumaki(a)oulu.fi | tel: +358 50 4344 261 | Twitter @KaisuKoivumaki University of Oulu, Finland<https://www.oulu.fi/fi>

Stefan Prost's visit
by Marko Mutanen 22 May '22

22 May '22

Dear people of the Ecology & Genetics unit, Stefan Prost, the person who is offered a TT position of "Biodiversity Genomics" of the ANTS programme, will visit Oulu from today to Wednesday, i.e. 22-25 May. Stefan will be placed in our unit. There are opportunities for you to meet and talk with Stefan. Today, we will have a dinner at Sokeri-Jussin kievari at 6:30. Please inform me if you want to join. There are places for a few more people. The dinner will be offered by the ANTS programme for all participants. Tomorrow, we are likewise heading for a dinner in the evening. If you want to join then, please inform me. The exact time and place is to be decided. Stefan will be present at the unit on Monday and Tuesday, and possibly Wednesday morning. While we have been designing the "agenda" for his visit, there are still some empty slots and it would be very nice if people at our unit wanted to discuss with him. Please inform me if you want to have an appointment (e.g. 30 min) with Stefan and Laura and I will check the opportunities. Also, you would be welcome to join us in the lunch tomorrow (11:30-12:30). For Stefan's research, see: https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=sEg2XfAAAAAJ&hl=de Best wishes, Marko M.
