Hei,
I kindly ask all the postdocs and PhD students to take a look on our curriculum (BSc: https://opas.peppi.oulu.fi/en/programme/16269, MSc: https://opas.peppi.oulu.fi/en/programme/16315) and then write in this tablehttps://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1GtuvuMjv88-oXPSsnEFqL41ZMONGMEP4kOcL1HQmWAw/edit#gid=1865456957, in which courses you have already agreed or would be willing to teach and in which format (lectures/exercises). I encourage postdocs and PhD students to indicate if you would like to give lectures (experience in lecturing would be a great asset in your CV).
Here's a reminder about the principles for teaching hours in the Ecology and Genetics research unit and for the academic personnel in the Biodiversity unit:
* The maximum number of contact teaching hours conforms to the recommendation made by the collective bargaining agreement: 394 hours for University Teachers and University Lecturers, 254 hours for University Researchers / Senior Research Fellows and 141 hours for Professors, also for those who have tenure track position. The University of Oulu has aligned that in maximum 10 hours of contact teaching is given per one credit (1 credit = 27 hours) and one contact teaching hour is 45 minutes.
* All postdocs on salary participate in teaching in master's level courses (also bachelor's level if they want). We follow the Academy of Finland recommendation of teaching 5 % of the total working time, which is 80 hours/year. Supervising PhD, bachelor's and master's theses counts to the teaching hours.
* All PhD students on salary participate in teaching either in the bachelor's or master's level courses, 50 hours/year. Supervising bachelor's and master's theses counts to the teaching hours.
If you have any questions regarding teaching in our Unit, please don't hesitate to ask me.
Best wishes, Lumi Viljakainen Director of Degree and Master's Programmes in Biology
