[in English below] JUHO VAINION SÄÄTIÖ JULISTAA HAETTAVIKSI APURAHAT VUODELLE 2021 Säätiö myöntää apurahoja Suomen kansanterveyttä ja terveitä elämäntapoja edistäviin tutkimuksiin ja muuhun terveyttä edistäviin hankkeisiin. Tuen kohteita voivat olla terveysliikunta, terveyttä edistävä ravitsemus, tupakoinnista ja alkoholin ja muiden päihteiden käytöstä johtuvien terveyshaittojen torjuminen, mielenterveyden edistäminen ja ympäristöterveyden edistäminen. Osa apurahoista voidaan kohdistaa asumisen ja rakennusten aiheuttamien terveyshaittojen tutkimiseen. Vuodelle 2021 tehtävissä apurahapäätöksissä tullaan antamaan erityistä painoarvoa niille tutkimuksille tai hankkeille, joissa käsitellään Covid-19-epidemian vaikutuksia elintapoihin ja terveysosaamiseen. Hankkeet voivat koskea myös elintapojen ja ympäristötekijöiden vaikutuksia Covid-19-taudin riskiin. Säätiön myöntämät apurahat ovat henkilökohtaisia työskentelyapurahoja, post doc-tutkijan apurahoja, ryhmille myönnettäviä hankeapurahoja sekä apurahoja terveyttä edistäviin hankkeisiin. Terveyttä edistäviin hankkeisiin voi saada säätiön apurahoja vain edellyttäen, että siihen liittyy tieteellinen tutkimusosio ja/tai arviointi hankkeen vaikuttavuudesta ja hyödyistä. Vuodelle 2021 säätiö myöntää yhden tai useamman suurapurahan. Suurapurahalla on tarkoitus tukea merkittävää ja laaja-alaista yhden tai useamman vuoden kestävää tutkimusta tai muuta terveyden edistämishanketta. Suurapurahan hakija voi niin halutessaan hakea samalla hakukierroksella myös säätiön yksivuotista hankeapurahaa, joka voidaan myöntää siinä tapauksessa, jos suurapurahaa ei myönnetä. Kaikkien vuodelle 2021 myönnettävien säätiön apurahojen hakuaika on syyskuu 2020 eli 1.9.-30.9.2020. Hakuaika päättyy keskiviikkona 30.9.2020 klo 24.00. Hakemus on tehtävä säätiön kotisivuilla saatavilla olevaan apurahajärjestelmään. Hakemuksen tai osan siitä voi tehdä myös englannin kielellä. Kaikki hakemukset liitteineen tehdään järjestelmän kautta. Säätiö ei vastaanota hakemuksia muussa muodossa eikä hakuajan jälkeen toimitettuja hakemuksia. Apurahojen tarkemmat hakuohjeet ja lisätietoja löytyy säätiön kotisivuilta www.juhovainionsaatio.fi<https://eur01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.juhova…> JUHO VAINIO FOUNDATION INVITES GRANT APPLICATIONS FOR 2021 The Juho Vainio Foundation awards grants for scientific research and activities that promote public health and healthy lifestyles, especially health promoting physical activity, healthy nutrition, prevention of health hazards caused by smoking and the use of alcohol, and the promotion of mental health and environmental health. Grant decisions for 2021 will place particular emphasis on studies or projects addressing the impact of the Covid-19 epidemic on lifestyle and health skills. Projects may also address the impact of lifestyle and environmental factors on the risk of Covid-19 disease The grants that the Foundation distributes are personal grants, post doc grants, project grants and grants for health promoting activities. The latter can only be awarded a grant if there is a scientific research involved and/or an evaluation of the effects and benefits of the project. The Foundation may also award one or more large grant amounting to about EUR 100 000 annually. The large grant is meant for a significant and broad research or other health promoting project that lasts one or more years. The Foundation has an electronic grant application and management system. The application period for the grants is yearly during 1.9. – 30.9. ending at midnight. The grant application instructions can be found on the Foundation’s website at www.juhovainionsaatio.fi<http://www.juhovainionsaatio.fi/>. All applications must be submitted through the grant system, which can be found on the Foundation’s website.

FW: Tietoa maskien käytöstä lääketieteellisen tiedekunnan opetustilanteissa / Information about using masks in teaching occasions in Faculty of Medicine
by Antti Haapalainen 18 Aug '20

18 Aug '20

From: Anne Remes <anne.remes(a)oulu.fi> Sent: 17. elokuutata 2020 21:16 To: LTK <ltk-staff(a)oulu.fi>; LTK-idm <LTK-idm(a)oulu.fi>; ltk-students(a)lists.oulu.fi Cc: Nevala Terhi <Terhi.Nevala(a)ppshp.fi>; Simola Lotta <Lotta.Simola(a)ppshp.fi> Subject: Tietoa maskien käytöstä lääketieteellisen tiedekunnan opetustilanteissa / Information about using masks in teaching occasions in Faculty of Medicine Importance: High Hyvät Oulun yliopiston lääketieteellisen tiedekunnan opettajat ja opiskelijat (below in English), Lääketieteellisen tiedekunnan tiloissa tapahtuvissa opetustilanteissa noudatetaan Oulun yliopiston ohjeita maskien käytöstä. Maskeja tai muuta tilanteeseen tarkoituksenmukaista suojainta suositellaan käytettäväksi lähiopetuksessa, jos 1-2 metrin turvavälejä ei ole mahdollista ylläpitää. Yliopisto antaa maskit ja suojaimet opiskelijoiden ja opettajien käyttöön. https://patio.oulu.fi/fi/uutiset/yliopiston-ohje-lahekkain-tyoskenteleville… OYSissa tapahtuvassa opetuksessa noudatetaan OYSin turvallisuusohjeita. OYSin henkilökunnan ohjeita sovelletaan myös opetustilanteisiin. Tällä hetkellä kirurgista suu-nenäsuojainta käytetään potilaan lähihoidossa (<2m) kaikkien potilaiden kohdalla Oulun seudun yhteispäivystyksessä, ja muissa yksiköissä tavanomaisten ja pisaravarotoimien mukaisesti eli esimerkiksi, kun on vaara roiskeista tai hoidetaan hengitystieinfektiota. Covid-19 testinegatiivinen, lievästi oireileva henkilökuntaan kuuluva henkilö käyttää maskia. Opiskelijat eivät pääsääntöisesti käytä maskeja OYSissa tapahtuvissa opetustilanteissa ja opiskelijoiden tulee olla lähiopetukseen osallistuessaan infektioiden osalta terveitä ja oireettomia. Suojainten käytöstä lähiopetuksissa voi ilmetä opetustilannekohtaisia poikkeuksia, joista opettaja tiedottaa opiskelijoita etukäteen. OYSissa tapahtuvassa opetuksessa mahdollisesti tarvittavat maskit antaa OYS. Opiskelijoiden valkoisten takkien käyttö tapahtuu entisten ohjeiden mukaan eikä ylimääräisiä suojatakkeja tarvita. Lääketieteellisen tiedekunnan opiskelijat eivät osallistu opetuksen puitteissa Covid-19 epäilyjen tai sairastuneiden hoitoon. Ohjeet perustuvat tämänhetkisiin yliopiston ja sairaalan ohjeisiin, ja ne saattavat muuttua jatkossa, jolloin annetaan uusi tiedote. Parhain terveisin, Anne Remes, dekaani LTK Terhi Nevala, hallintoylilääkäri, OYS Lotta Simola, infektiolääkäri, OYS *** Dear teachers and students of the Faculty of Medicine at the University of Oulu, In lessons and small group teaching organized in premises of the Faculty of Medicine instructions of the University of Oulu concerning use of nose and mouth masks must be followed. In contact teaching, when it is not possible to keep safe distance (1-2 meters) use of masks or other appropriate protection is recommended. The university will provide the masks and other protective equipment for students and teachers. https://patio.oulu.fi/en/news/university-instructs-masks-recommended-person… In teaching, organized in the Oulu University Hospital safety instructions of the university hospital must be followed. Instructions for the staff of the university hospital will also be applied in lessons. Currently, the staff of the Oulu region emergency unit is using surgical nose and mouth masks in close contact with all patients (< 2 m). In other units of the university hospital, the staff is using the masks following normal precaution measures including measures against droplet infection, for example, in cases when there is a risk of droplets or when treating a patient with respiratory infection. Member of the staff with mild symptoms, but with negative Covid-19 test result must use the mask. In general, the students will not use masks in teaching related occasions organized in the university hospital´s premises. When participating in contact/small group teaching the students must not have any infections or symptoms of infections. In individual cases of contact teaching, there might be exceptions to the general mask instructions. In these cases, the teacher will inform the students about the exceptions beforehand. If in the contact teaching in the university hospital there is a need for masks, they will be provided by the university hospital. The students may use white coats in accordance with earlier instructions and no extra protective coats are needed. In teaching, students of the medical faculty will not participate in treatment of the patients infected with Covid-19 or patients with suspected Covid-19 infection. This information is based on the current instructions of the university and university hospital and it will be updated, when necessary.

by Antti Haapalainen 13 Aug '20

13 Aug '20

Hei, Kun käytätte nestetyppitankkihuoneessa kasvovisiirejä, pyyhkikää visiirit käytön jälkeen etanolilla. Nestetyppitankkihuoneesta löytyy nyt etanolisuihkepullo ja liinoja. Suihkepullon voi täyttää soluviljelyhuoneisiin tarkoitetulla etanolilla (CRC:n kustantama) ja liinojakin voi hakea lisää soluviljelyhuoneiden eteisestä. Hi, When using faceshields in the liquid nitrogen tank room, wipe the shields with ethanol after use. The liquid nitrogen tank room now has an ethanol spray bottle and cloths. The spray bottle can be filled with ethanol used in the cell culture rooms (provided by CRC) and more cloths can also be obtained from 344B next to the two cell culture rooms. Terv. Antti

There are multiple short-term (3-6 months) positions available in Health and Biosciences Doctoral Programme (DP-HBS) Successful candidates must commit to researcher training within Health and Biosciences Doctoral Programme with full-time work and to completing their degree within four years. DP-HBS gathers clinical medicine, biomedicine, biochemistry, molecular medicine, dentistry, health sciences, medical technology and biology under the umbrella of a multidisciplinary training programme. As one of the four multidisciplinary doctoral programmes of the University of Oulu Graduate School, DP-HBS is a fundamental part of the University of Oulu strategic research focus area “Molecular and environmental basis of life-long health” and it will strengthen the systematic and already strong research training and collaboration in this field. DP-HBS operates in close connection with Medical Research Center Oulu (MRC Oulu) and Biocenter Oulu (BCO), and the research environment of the doctoral students spans over several faculties, predominantly the Faculty of Medicine and the Faculty of Biochemistry and Molecular Medicine. The number of doctoral students in DP-HBS is over 600. There are max 10 full-time, two to three -year positions available in DP-HBS for 2021-2023 (see the corresponding call<https://rekry.saima.fi/certiahome/open_job_view.html?did=5600&jc=1&id=00009…>). Within the HBS programme, it is possible also to apply for a shorter period of time than three years, including 3-6 months positions for 2021 (this call). Please note that you can only apply either long-term (2-3 year) or short-term (3-6 months) position, but not both. Requirements An eligible candidate has a Master’s degree or an equivalent degree in a field relevant to the applied field. The degree must have been completed before the selection with at least good grades. The priority will be given to professionals in the field of Health and Biosciences and with a degree of Licentiate of Medicine, Licentiate of Dentistry or Master of Health Sciences. Selected candidates must meet all the requirements to receive doctoral study rights as defined in: http://www.oulu.fi/uniogs/requirements_for_admission. In student selection, priority will be given to such doctoral students whose supervisor is not receiving strategic spearhead or emerging funding related to doctoral training from the University of Oulu during the applicable term, i.e. 2021 onwards. The major subject of the doctoral student is expected to be in the Doctoral Degree Programme of Medicine, Biochemistry and Molecular Medicine, Health Sciences, Dentistry or Biology. Prior to submitting, applicants are expected to have or find a prospective main supervisor in an eligible research unit. Applicants are advised to seek potential supervisors in the faculty web pages or the research focus area web pages. The proposed main supervisor must clearly be identified in the application form (full name, title, position, faculty and research unit at the University of Oulu). A letter from the proposed supervisor willing to commit for supervision must be attached into the applicant’s set of documents (see below). Unless explicitly stated otherwise, the commitment letter does not bind the proposed supervisor to any commitment, if the applicant is not selected into the doctoral student position applied here and for which the letter of support was provided. Salary and key terms The salary level of selected doctoral students will vary on levels 2 – 4 of the national salary scale for the teaching and research staff of Finnish universities according to the progress of the PhD thesis. In addition, a supplementary remuneration is given for personal achievement and performance (max. 50 %). In practice, the salary is roughly 2200 – 2700 € per month for an early stage researcher, depending on the appointee’s qualifications and progress of the doctoral thesis. The positions are filled at the earliest on 1 January 2021. How to apply Submit your application in English through the online system by 16 August 2020. Please include the following attachments as five separate pdf files (please note that the online system has a maximum size limit for attachments): 1. CV: Including a list of all peer-reviewed scientific publications with full reference details. 2. Motivation letter: Describing prior knowledge, research interests and career plan (max 1 page). 3. Certificates/Diplomas: Scanned electronic copies of diplomas and transcripts of the records of relevant previous degrees. If the original documents are not in Finnish, Swedish or English, each document must be accompanied by an official certified translation into Finnish or English. 4. Research plan approved by the supervisor: Please follow the structure given in the guidelines of the Academy of Finland (http://www.aka.fi/en/funding/apply-for-funding/az-index-of-application-guid…) However, for the current purpose, the texts under the given section headings need not cover all bullet points in the guidelines, and the maximum length of the (draft) plan’s body of text must not exceed 3 pages with 10-12 point font size and with at least 1,5 cm margins. A fourth page can be used for the list of references only. Thus, the max total length of the plan including the references is 4 pages. Exceeding the page limit will either result in disqualification or removal of the extra pages from the document. 5. Letter of provisional commitment from the supervisor (max 1 page): This is a brief letter (with date and signature) where an eligible supervisor (either a professor or a docent level researcher who is employed by the University of Oulu) states his/her willingness to act as the supervisor for the applicant. The commitment letter must clearly indicate the University of Oulu’s Research unit, to which the supervisor is affiliated. As the funding provided via this call does not cover all salary related costs the commitment letter must also clearly indicate that the research unit will hire the candidate for full-time work and it will cover all salary-based costs from its, own budget. Applications received after the deadline, incomplete applications, and/or applications with attachments that exceed the specified limits, will not be considered. Application and evaluation process Evaluation and ranking of the applications will take place in multiple stages. First, ineligible or incomplete applications are rejected. Second, eligible and complete applications are evaluated and ranked by the external evaluation panel. Third, applications with highest scores from the second round will be further evaluated and ranked by the corresponding Doctoral Training Committee. Finally, University of Oulu Graduate School deans will consolidate the evaluation results and make the final decision for the positions. All applicants will be informed of the selection by e-mail.
