Marie Sklodowska-Curie: Postdoctoral Fellowships Who can apply for MSCA PF? Interested researchers apply together with a host organization. The scheme covers all research areas. It is targeted at researchers with a doctoral degree and a maximum of 8 years of research experience after the PhD by the time of the call deadline. Mobility is a must in the MSCA: the researcher must not have resided in the country of the beneficiary for more than 12 months in the 36 months before the call deadline. How much? Usually, the duration of the project is 24 months. Last year the total EU funding per project was around 195 000 - 215 000 euros (The salary level of the MSCA Fellow is pretty good!) Two 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 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. Only nationals or long-term residents of the EU Member States or Horizon Europe Associated Countries can apply Next Call The next call is expected to open tomorrow with the deadline of 11 September 2024 Further information<https://marie-sklodowska-curie-actions.ec.europa.eu/actions/postdoctoral-fe…> Join in the MSCA Postdoctoral Fellowship support process The University of Oulu Research and Project Services team will help the applicants and supervisors with the proposal preparations. The support process<https://patio.oulu.fi/en/news/reminder-join-msca-postdoctoral-fellowship-su…> will run during the whole MSCA PF Call period: 10.4-11.9.2024. Through our MSCA PF support process you will be able to: * get a technical eligibility check * participate in virtual information sessions and proposal preparation online course * get access to an online platform with useful materials and tips for proposal writing * have your draft proposal reviewed All supervisors and potential applicants planning to submit an MSCA PF application with UOULU as their host institution can register for the support process by answering a short Webropol questionnaire<https://link.webropolsurveys.com/S/CF5BF0B537372287> by 16 April 2024. MSCA Postdoctoral Fellowship 2024 Call Kickoff event (for applicants and supervisors) 16.4.2024 Welcome to the MSCA Postdoctoral Fellowship 2024 Kickoff hybrid event! In this MSCA PF Kickoff event, you will hear the latest from the national contact point (NCP), get invaluable insights from the evaluator and learn how to create a successful Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions Postdoctoral Fellows (MSCA PF) application. The session will also introduce this year's MSCA PF Moodle training, which offers a comprehensive package on the proposal format and the key considerations related to planning, writing, and submitting an MSCA PF proposal.

Biology Thursday seminar 11th April 3pm, Paula Mulo on regulation of photoynthesis
by Heikki Helanterä 08 Apr '24

08 Apr '24

Dear colleagues, Biology Thursday seminar continues 11th April at 3pm, on site in room SÄ110 - please note unusual time and room! Our speaker will be Prof. Paula Mulo from the University of Turku, on "New insights into regulation of photosynthesis: Chloroplast acetyltransferases and acetylation of chloroplast proteins" (abstract below) More on her research at: https://www.utu.fi/fi/ihmiset/paula-mulo Also remember that Prof. Mulo will be the opponent for Nga Nguyen's thesis defence on Friday 12th, at noon: https://www.oulu.fi/en/theses/towards-comprehensive-understanding-fruit-dev… See you in the seminar, Heikki New insights into regulation of photosynthesis: Chloroplast acetyltransferases and acetylation of chloroplast proteins Paula Mulo Department of Life Technologies, University of Turku, 20520 Turku, Finland pmulo(a)utu.fi<mailto:pmulo@utu.fi> Acetylation is one of the most common chemical modifications, and it affects a variety of molecules ranging from metabolites to proteins. Recent development of enrichment techniques and mass spectrometry has revealed that acetylation is a prevalent modification also in plants, and that in addition to cytosolic and nuclear proteins also numerous chloroplast proteins are targets of N-terminal and/or lysine acetylation. We have recently characterized a chloroplasts-localized family of GNAT acetyltransferases in Arabidopsis thaliana. The GNAT enzymes are unique among the acetyltransferase enzymes as they possess dual protein acetylation activity, i.e. they catalyze acetylation of the N-terminal amino acid as well as acetylation of the integral lysine residues of the protein. Our results show that each GNAT enzyme has distinct specificity in terms of favored substrates, and that they play unique roles in the accumulation of specific plant metabolites. Depletion of GNAT2 has marked effects on the acetylation level of several chloroplast proteins, organization of thylakoid protein complexes and photosynthetic properties of plants. Specifically, formation of the Photosystem I-LHCII complex is prevented in the gnat2 knock-out plants, which results in impaired balancing of the light energy between the photosystems (state transitions). Moreover, loss of GNAT2 severely disturbs light-dependent dynamics of thylakoid stacking. Altogether, our results indicate that chloroplast acetyltransferases are new and important regulators of photosynthetic light harvesting with a marked impact on the growth and metabolism of plants.

Our list of invited speakers and the scientific program can be found on our website: https://www.vogelwarte.ch/en/100-years/centennial-symposium/ There is no registration fee, but we kindly ask you to register early using our website, since we are limited to 350 participants, and places are going quickly. The deadline for registration is April 30th. The aim of this symposium is to bring together researchers on ornithology to discuss current perspectives covering a wide range of topics, from bird monitoring and population modelling to migration, ecological research and applied conservation. Each topic will be addressed by invited international experts, followed by presentations from researchers at the Swiss Ornithological Institute to celebrate the wide range of scientific research and achievements carried out at our Institute. We hope that this symposium will provide an opportunity to identify the important and urgent issues that the scientific community needs to address, and that it will kick-start new collaborations. Sempach is located in central Switzerland, around 20 minutes from the beautiful city of Lucerne. Sempach is easily accessible by public transport from Zurich (1h30), Basel (1h50) or Geneva (3h30).
