Creating MSCA Postdoctoral Fellowships 2026 postings in EURAXESS portal / Luo hakuilmoitus MSCA Postdoctoral Fellowships 2026 -hakua varten EURAXESS-portaaliin
by Mirko Maksimainen 04 Dec '25

MSCA Postdoctoral Fellowships 2026 postings in EURAXESS portal We want to increase the number of researchers funded by the MSCA Postdoctoral Fellowships programme at the University of Oulu. To do that, we encourage research groups and units to create postings in the international EURAXESS portal to reach suitable applicants. The MSCA PF postings should clearly describe the positions to which MSCA Postdoctoral Fellowship applicants can apply, the specific expertise of the research group or unit, the background and qualifications required of the applicant, and include a brief introduction to the University of Oulu. This way, we provide applicants with a comprehensive view of the opportunities at the University of Oulu and attract the best MSCA PF candidates. The final application is jointly created by the candidate and the supervisor from the University of Oulu and submitted to the MSCA Postdoctoral call. The Research and Project Services team will assist with drafting these postings if needed and will ensure their publication in the EURAXESS service. By publishing the announcements for the MSCA PF 2026 call, which opens in April 2026, already at the beginning of 2026, we can ensure that information about MSCA PF positions spreads as widely as possible. To prepare a job posting, please contact Research Funding Specialist Monika Luukkonen (monika.luukkonen(a)oulu.fi). You can also request sample texts from previously published postings. If you would like to read more about Marie Skłodowska-Curie Postdoctoral Fellowships calls, you can find additional information here. https://patio.oulu.fi/en/news/msca-postdoctoral-fellowships-2026-postings-e… Luo hakuilmoitus MSCA Postdoctoral Fellowships 2026 -hakua varten EURAXESS-portaaliin Haluamme lisätä Oulun yliopistoon tulevien MSCA Postdoctoral Fellowships -rahoitettujen tutkijoiden määrää. Kannustamme tutkimusryhmiä ja yksiköitä luomaan hakuilmoituksia kansainväliseen EURAXESS-portaaliin, jotta voimme tavoittaa sopivia hakijoita. Ilmoituksissa kannattaa kuvata selkeästi MSCA Postdoctoral Fellowships -haun kohteena oleva tehtävä, tutkimusryhmän tai yksikön erityisosaaminen, hakijalta edellytettävä tausta ja asiantuntemus sekä lyhyt esittely Oulun yliopistosta. Näin tarjoamme hakijoille kattavan kuvan Oulun yliopiston mahdollisuuksista ja houkuttelemme parhaita MSCA PF -hakijoita. Lopullisen hakemuksen MSCA PF -ohjelmaan luovat potentiaalinen hakija ja Oulun yliopiston ohjaaja yhdessä. Tutkimus- ja projektipalveluiden tiimi avustaa tarvittaessa näiden ilmoitusten laatimisessa ja huolehtii hakuilmoitusten julkaisemisesta EURAXESS-palvelussa. Laittamalla huhtikuussa 2026 avautuvan MSCA PF 2026 -haun ilmoitukset EURAXESSiin jo alkuvuodesta 2026 voimme varmistaa, että tieto MSCA PF -paikoista ehtii levitä mahdollisimman laajasti. Hakuilmoituksen laatimista varten ota yhteyttä tutkimusrahoitusasiantuntija Monika Luukkoseen (monika.luukkonen(a)oulu.fi). Voit pyytää häneltä myös esimerkkitekstejä aiemmin julkaistuista hakuilmoituksista.

ISS ohjeistusta / ISS instructions
by Antti Haapalainen 04 Dec '25

04 Dec '25

Hei, Tällaisen ohjeistuksen (liitteenä) olen saanut ISS:ltä reilut kaksi vuotta sitten. Jaan tämän aina uusille työntekijöille. Nyt en ole yhtään varma, että olenko lähettänyt tämän myös CRC sähköpostilistalle. Englanninkielistä versiota ei ole saatavilla, mutta mainitsen tästä seuraavassa siivouspalaverissa. Lisäinfoa löytyy: https://patio.oulu.fi/fi/palvelut-ja-ohjeet/tilat/ymparisto-ja-jatehuolto/j… Hi, I received this kind of instructions (attached) from ISS a little over two years ago. I always share this with new employees. Now I'm not at all sure if I sent this to the CRC mailing list as well. There is no English version available, but I will mention this at the next cleaning meeting.

The changing geopolitical situation and international tensions require increasingly accurate risk identification and management. Consideration of research security issues is part of responsible research and research ethics. Each researcher is responsible for ensuring that security aspects are taken into account in the research project. Anyway, according to the law, consideration of security aspects must not restrict the researcher’s right to choose their research topic and methods.
