Hakemuksen suomalaisosapuoli jättää hakemuksen rinnakkaisversion Akatemian verkkoasiointiin. Suomi-Yhdysvallat -tutkimusyhteistyön rahoitusmahdollisuuksista kiinnostuneet ovat lämpimästi tervetulleita Suomen Akatemian ja FARIA-verkoston yhteiseen webinaariin 27.10.2022, klo 16.15 – 17.15<https://www.aka.fi/suomen-akatemian-toiminta/ajankohtaista/tapahtumat/acade…>. Webinaarissa käydään läpi myös rahoituksen hakemisen erityispiirteitä, sillä yhteishaut eroavat toteutukseltaan merkittävästi Akatemian normaalista hakumenettelystä. Suunnitellut uudet yhteishaut pohjautuvat Akatemian monipuoliseen ja jatkuvaan yhteistyöhön yhdysvaltalaiskumppaneiden kanssa. Rahoittajien välisen yhteistyön ja yhteishauissa rahoitettavien hankkeiden kautta Akatemia pyrkii merkittävästi edistämään suomalaisen tutkimuksen laatua, vaikuttavuutta ja uudistumista.

As in the previous Finnish-US joint calls, these new calls will support research cooperation in in research fields represented by the Academy-funded Finnish Flagships. The calls will be implemented under the Lead Agency mechanism. Under the mechanism, a single collaboration proposal will be submitted to a funding call organised by the NIH or the NSF. Proposers from Finland will submit a version of the proposal to the Academy as well.

Welcome to 3rd FICAN Seminar! The speaker is FCI K. Albin Johansson Foundation Research Professor Johanna Ivaska from Turku Bioscience Centre and University of Turku. Topic: Cancer cells crossing borders Time: Thursday November 3rd, 2022 at 15 -16 EEST The seminar is organized in Teams and will be open to everyone who is interested in cancer research. Click here to join the meeting<https://eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/ap/t-59584e83/?url=https%3A%…> (note the passcode) Meeting ID: 357 221 083 426 Passcode: j3ToWB [Regional Cancer Centers]Time: Thu 3.11. at 15.00 - 16 Speaker: Johanna Ivaska, PhD, FCI K. Albin Johansson Foundation Research Professor Title: Cancer cells crossing borders Get to know the Speaker: https://ivaskalab.utu.fi/<https://eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fivaskalab…> This time the seminar is organized by FICAN West Abstract: Our research focuses on the fundamental role of cell-cell and cell-extracellular matrix crosstalk in maintaining tissue homeostasis. During tumour development, these pathways are altered and trigger the formation of environments that are physically and biochemically more conducive to cancer growth. Recently, we showed that expression of a motor protein MYO10, and MYO10-dependent filopodial extensions, while detrimental in invasive breast cancer and associated with poor patient survival, is protective at the early stage. In pre-invasive ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS), MYO10 maintains a continuous basement-membrane border around the tumours and prevents dissemination into the surrounding stroma. Therefore, any therapeutic targeting of MYO10 must consider the dual actions of this motor protein and cancer stage. In another work (unpublished), we employed microfluidics to mimic cancer cell interaction with the vasculature (endothelial cell layer) under flow. We found that the method used by cancer cells to cross the endothelial cell barrier differs across cell types but is dependent on cancer-cell-endothelial-cell interaction, often involving the extension of filopodia-like protrusions. We are now employing single-cell mass CyToF and other innovative techniques to understand the molecular details of this interaction and identify a potential therapeutic target.

Multiple short-term doctoral researcher positions in the Health and Biosciences doctoral programme of the University of Oulu Graduate School<https://rekry.saima.fi/certiahome/open_job_view.html?did=5600&jc=1&id=00001…> Apply for the job<https://rekry.saima.fi/certiahome/application_edit_welcome.html?field_id=0&…> Full call text and link to apply the job: https://rekry.saima.fi/certiahome/open_job_view.html?did=5600&jc=1&id=00001… We are now looking motivated candidates for Multiple short-term doctoral researcher positions in the Health and Biosciences doctoral programme (HBS-DP) of the University of Oulu Graduate School (UniOGS<https://www.oulu.fi/en/research/graduate-school>). HBS-DP gathers clinical medicine, biomedicine, biochemistry, molecular medicine, dentistry, health sciences and medical technology under the umbrella of a multidisciplinary training programme. In the current call, there are multiple full-time short-term positions (3-6 months) and multiple full-time one year positions available in HBS-DP for 2023 (starting at the earliest on 1.1.2023 and ending the latest on 31.12.2023). Please note that you can apply for either a one year or a short-term (3-6 months) position, but not both. Eligibility and Requirements As an eligible candidate, you have a Master’s degree or an equivalent degree in a field relevant to the applied field. The major subject of the doctoral researcher is expected to be in the Doctoral Degree Programme of Medicine, Biochemistry and Molecular Medicine, Health Sciences or Dentistry. The degree must have been completed before the selection with at least good grades. You must meet all the requirements to receive doctoral study rights as defined in: https://www.oulu.fi/en/research/graduate-school/admissions. - In the short-term positions (3-6 months), the priority will be given to doctoral researchers working as a professional in the healthcare with a degree of Licentiate of Medicine, Licentiate of Dentistry or Master of Health Sciences. - In the one year positions, priority will be given to such doctoral researchers whose supervisor’s research group is not receiving strategic funding (via focus institutes, emerging projects, doctoral programmes etc.) related to doctoral training from the University of Oulu during the funding period 2023. In the one year positions, any applicant who has received doctoral study rights on or earlier than 31.12.2019 need to explain why they should still be considered as eligible applicants and to assure the motivation for graduating during one year. Prior to submitting, applicants are expected to find a prospective main supervisor in an eligible research unit. Applicants are advised to seek potential supervisors in the faculty web pages (https://www.oulu.fi/en/university/faculties-and-units). 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 researcher position applied here and for which the letter of support was provided. Salary and key terms The salary will be initially set on level 2, and later on levels 2 – 4 of the national salary scale for the teaching and research staff of Finnish universities. In addition, a supplementary remuneration is given for personal achievement and performance (max. 50 %).
