Guidelines for orientation of new employees / Ohjeistus uusien työntekijöiden perehdyttämiseen
by Heikki Helanterä 13 May '24

13 May '24

Hi all, a recap from Friday's unit meeting, where concerns about the clarity of orientation procedures of new employees were brought up - important to read if you are a line manager or a PI, or a new employee! All new employees need to go through orientation. This has several parts: the general orientation through university's online materials, HR organized welcome sessions and the official orientation session run by Marjut Saastamoinen from the faculty admin. When a PI has new people starting, ask me and I will let Marjut know and she will inform them about the next sessions. The unit and task specific orientations are in principle the duty of the line manager, but as the project PIs of the employee are much better informed about task specific details pf each employee, these have to be in practice carried out by the PIs, except for the evaluation of requirement and performance levels. The PI makes sure that the necessary steps are taken and the appropriate forms are filled in Mepco (instructions in the links below) and into the Ecology and genetics own orientation form (attached, can also be found in the shared folders S:\Biologia\Yhteiset\Ecogen_perehdytyslomake_2022.docx) and forwarded to the line manager and head of unit. For a general overview of the process see: https://patio.oulu.fi/en/services-and-instructions/personnel/new-employees/… https://patio.oulu.fi/en/services-and-instructions/personnel/line-managers/… Cheers, Heikki =============================================== Heikki Helanterä Professor Ekologian ja genetiikan tutkimusyksikkö / Ecology and Genetics Research Unit Oulun Yliopisto / University of Oulu / Finland heikki.helantera(a)oulu.fi<mailto:heikki.helantera@oulu.fi> +358 50 4700 545

Hei, Liitteenä viime keskiviikkona pidetyn killan palaute- ja tutkinto-ohjelman missä mennään -tilaisuuden diat. Nämä löytyvät nyt myös Biologian opiskelutuki -Moodlesta<https://moodle.oulu.fi/course/view.php?id=7663> (kurssiavain OuluBiol). I send here the slides from last weeks feedback and what’s up event organized by the degree programme and the student guild Syntaksis ry. The slides are in Finnish, but will be available shortly in English too, as two PhD students have kindly promised to translate them. Terveisin, Lumi

Unit website
by Heikki Helanterä 13 May '24

13 May '24

Dear colleagues, as discussed in last Friday's unit meeting, our unit's website is in need of an update! So, by the end of this month, all PIs, please send me: - a short text describing what your group does, see for example the group descriptions that open on this old site when you click on the group name: https://www.oulu.fi/en/university/faculties-and-units/faculty-science/ecolo… . If your group has an external website, include a link into that as well. The text should be both in English and in Finnish - if you have no Finnish speakers in your group I can help with translations. - If you have nice photos of your group in action, please include one as well - list of PhD students and post docs and other staff to be included in the list of personnel - please send your material with the e-mail subject "Unit website" so I can keep track of them more easily - if in doubt whether your group should have its own entry with you as the PI or whether you should be under some larger group of people, I don't think there are any hard rules, let me know if you're uncertain. Any other thoughts on what should be included in the unit website are also valuable, but note that we are tied to the format provided by the University so there are some constraints. Suggestions welcome nevertheless! Have a nice week!

Biology Thursday seminar 16.5. on site, Tiina Mattila on Gene flow, isolation and kinship in Stone Age Eastern Europe and Scandinavia
by Heikki Helanterä 13 May '24

13 May '24

Dear colleagues, this week's Biology Thursday Seminar will be 16th May, 12:15 on site in room MA335 with Dr. Tiina Mattila from Department of Organismal Biology, Uppsala University, on "Gene flow, isolation and kinship in Stone Age Eastern Europe and Scandinavia" The genetic structure of Stone Age western Eurasian human populations was strongly associated with major cultural changes. Before the transition to agriculture genetically differentiated hunter-gatherer groups inhabited western Eurasia. Some of these groups invented agriculture in the Fertile Crescent starting approximately 12,000 years ago. Over the next few thousand years, agriculture spread across much of Europe. Thanks to the development of ancient DNA research in recent decades, we now know that this spread was largely mediated by the migration of people. In the first part of the talk, I will refine the spatio-temporal details of this process using an ancient DNA investigation of population structure, isolation, and gene flow in central, eastern, and northern Europe before and after the spread of agriculture. In addition to revealing broad population structure, ancient DNA within-population studies can help to identify the social factors influencing the organization of prehistoric societies. For this purpose, in the second part of the talk, I will present archaeogenomic results concerning the within-population structure of the sub-Neolithic Pitted Ware Culture (PWC) foragers from Gotland, Sweden. I will discuss the results in light of the variability and evolution of social systems in general.

FW: EVENTS: ERC training 20.5.-21.5. / How to write an excellent HE consortium proposal 23.5. / Horizon Expo and Awards 22.5.
by Päivi Tomperi 08 May '24

08 May '24

Online ERC training 20.-21.5.2024 Research and Project Services, together with the ERC consultancy company Yellow Research, are organising an online training on 20-21 May on how to write a successful Horizon Europe ERC grant proposal. This two-part webinar-form training provides a roadmap to submission, tackling stumbling blocks that you, as Principal Investigator (PI), may have when writing your ERC grant application. This training will focus on creating the right mindset for submitting a proposal, covering the ERC objectives and evaluation criteria, what the panels expect, how to strategically approach the design of the project, and how to generate a convincing argumentation that will allow the reviewers to understand the feasibility of your ambitious research project. This training will also guide participants systematically through the different parts of the proposal writing, addressing the critical elements for writing the CV part, extended synopsis and B2. Please note that training lasts for two days: Monday 20 May, 9:30-12:00 and Tuesday 21 May, 9:30-12:00 The training will be recorded, and the recordings will be made available to the registered participants.

This training is open to all researchers, whether you are just learning about EU projects or already participated in them. We are concentrating on Research and Innovation/ Innovation project proposals. Setting up a proposal is a project in itself. It starts with finding a suitable call and understanding the call text. Setting up the objectives and writing the proposal is a time-consuming exercise. In this training, we will give you guidance on how to avoid the common pitfalls, and how to write the different sections of the proposal (Excellence, Impact and Implementation). We will discuss SMART objectives, Key Performance Indicators, key impact pathways, deliverables, milestones, risks and barriers and obstacles. As coordinator, you also need to find the right partners and make sure they work together despite their different backgrounds and motivations. We will discuss the tasks of a coordinator, the most important tools, how to keep the schedule and how to divide the work in order not to become overwhelmed by the preparation. Coffee and refreshments will be served to participants.
