[OLuT-tiedotus] LUTKa-kalenteri tulee, oletko valmis?
by Ida Viinikka 13 Aug '14

13 Aug '14

Hei luonnontieteilijät! Oulun luonnontieteilijät ry juhlii ensi vuonna 20-vuotista taivaltaan ja sen kunniaksi olemme päättäneet luoda luonnontieteilijöiden oman kalenterin. Kalenteri kantaa tässä vaiheessa nimeä LUTKa-kalenteri. Ideana on toteuttaa kaksipuoleinen seinäkalenteri, jonka toisella puolella esiintyvät luonnontieteilijätytöt ja toisella -pojat. Projekti on tässä vaiheessa vielä alkutekijöissään, joten siksi tarvitsemme teidän apuanne! Kalenteri toteutetaan luonnontieteilijävoimin ja toivommekin osallistujia jokaisesta OLuT:n alaisesta killasta. Kalenterin tekemiseen tarvitaan monenlaista tekijää. Etsimme mallien lisäksi kuvausapulaisia, meikki- ja hiustaitajia, roudareita, mainosten hankkijoita ja paljon muuta. Kaikki apu otetaan vastaan! Mikäli olet kiinnostunut olemaan jonkinlaisessa roolissa kalenterin teossa, ota yhteyttä allekirjoittaneeseen tai ilmaise kiinnostuksesi oman kiltasi OLuT-vastaavalle. Myös kaikki aiheeseen liittyvät kysymykset voi osoittaa samoille tahoille. Projekti pyörähtää toden teolla käyntiin opintojen alkaessa, mutta ensimmäisiä kuvia otetaan jo nyt! Kalenterin on tarkoitus olla valmis juhlavuoden eli vuoden 2015 alussa. Terveisin, Ida Viinikka varapuheenjohtaja ja kalenteriprojektin vastaava OLuT ry --- Varapuheenjohtaja Oulun Luonnontieteilijät ry Ida.Viinikka(a)student.oulu.fi puh. 040-8346124 _______________________________________________ OLuT-tiedotus mailing list OLuT-tiedotus(a)lists.oulu.fi http://lists.oulu.fi/mailman/listinfo/olut-tiedotus

pro gradu project
by Nadiya Byts 07 Aug '14

07 Aug '14

Hei, Gradupaikka tarjolla Prof. Johanna Myllyharjun ryhmässä Lääketieteellisen biokemian ja molekyylibiologian laitoksella. There is a pro gradu project available in Prof. Johanna Myllyharju’s group at the Department of Medical Biochemistry and Molecular Biology. More info about the research in Myllyharju group can be found from Biocenter Oulu web page http://www.oulu.fi/biocenter/groups/myllyharju Hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF) prolyl-4-hydroxylases (HIF-P4Hs) isoenzymes are oxygen sensors that hydroxylate the HIF-α subunit under normoxia and are implicated in the mechanism of the organism adaptation to low oxygen levels. Three HIF-P4H isoenzymes are known in mammals: HIF-P4Hs 1, 2, and 3. A fourth P4H (P4H-TM) that contains an endoplasmic reticulum transmembrane domain was recently identified by our group (Koivunen et al. 2007) and it is challenge now to characterize it’s function. This pro gradu project will be about the roles of HIF-P4Hs in the brain, in particular in synaptic transmission. This project is heavily based on use of different transgenic mouse models. Methods will include primary cell culture of different neural cell types isolated from mouse embryos, RNA extraction from cells and mouse tissue, quantitative PCR, Western blot, immunostaining, various functional assays on synaptic plasticity and cell death, etc. For more information please contact, Nadiya Byts Nadiya.Byts(a)oulu.fi<mailto:Nadiya.Byts@oulu.fi> Looking forward, Nadiya ----- Nadiya Byts, Ph.D. University of Oulu Institute of Biomedicine Department of Medical Biochemistry and Molecular Biology P.O.Box 5000hj FI-90014 University of Oulu Finland

-----Original Message----- From: bco-bounces(a)lists.oulu.fi [mailto:bco-bounces@lists.oulu.fi] On Behalf Of Anita Tienhaara Sent: 5. elokuuta 2014 13:09 To: finbionet Subject: [Bco] PhD position in evolution and development at the University of Helsinki 1.Job/ project description: The main objectives of the PhD project is to: a) Develop mathematical models of the relationship between genetic and phenotypic variation (or genotype-phenotype map) b) Understand how this relationship and the patterns of phenotypic variation possible by genetic variation in gene networks affect evolution. c) Develop models about the evolution of gene networks and embryonic development in general. A core concept of current evolutionary biology is the genotype-phenotype (GP) map, which connects genetic variation to phenotypic variation and to potential for evolutionary change. The aim of the project is to develop or investigate models of the GP map that can be related to specific biological study systems or specific evolutionary questions investigated by the group. There is considerable flexibility as to the exact topics, and the interests of the candidate will be important in defining the study objects. These models can be abstract or linked to specific biological systems. The biotechnology institute includes a range of experimental biologitst working on several systems. The supervisor of the theoretical aspects will be Dr. Salazar- Ciudad but would include close collaboration with Jukka Jernvall group and would include collaboration with developmental biologists, bioinformaticians, paleontologists and other evolutionary and systems biologists. The work may also include, optionally, collaboration, and spending some time, in Barcelona. The modeling can focus on gene network regulation, cell-cell communication, cell mechanical interactions and developmental mechanisms in general and, optionally, artifical in silico evolution. 2. Requirements: The applicant must be a biologists, preferably with a strong background in either evolutionary biology, developmental biology or theoretical biology. Some knowledge of ecology, zoology, cell and molecular biology are also desirable. Bioinformaticians, systems biologists or computer biologists that do not have a degree in biology (e.g. Computer scientists, physicists or engineers) would not be considered (not replied).Programming skills or a willingness to acquire them is required. The most important requirement is a strong interest and motivation on science, gene networks and evolution. A capacity for creative and critical thinking is also desirable. Prior experience in evolutionary or developmental biology is an advantage, and the candidate may be required to do some programming (although how much may depend on the exact project). 3. Description of the position: PhD: The fellowship will be for a period of up to 4 years (100% research work: no teaching involved). The purpose of the fellowship is research training leading to the successful completion of a PhD degree. Salary according to Finnish PhD student salaries. 4. The application must include: -Application letter including a statement of interests -CV (summarizing degrees obtained, subjects included in degree and grades, average grade) -Application should be send to Isaac Salazar-Ciudad by email: isaac.salazar(a)helsinki.fi Foreign applicants are advised to attach an explanation of their University's grading system. Please remember that all documents should be in English. 5. Examples of recent publications by Isaac Salazar-Ciudad group. -Salazar-Ciudad I1, Marín-Riera M.
