BiochemCity educational mobile application for testing - volunteers wanted
by Tuomo Glumoff 29 Jun '20

29 Jun '20

Dear Biochemistry students, Consider this offer, which came to the faculty, if you find it interesting and useful. Greetings, Tuomo ---------------- we are writing to you regarding our educational mobile application that helps University students learn biochemistry in a playful and effective way. We believe that you might be able to help us find participants for a survey and a beta testing. We are specifically looking for University students who either took or are taking biochemistry as one of their courses (medical students, dental students, vet students, etc.). After completing the questionnaire, respondents get free access to the beta version and a chance to contribute to our work by giving their opinion on the app. Students who take part in the beta testing and answer some follow-up questions, will also get access to the finished product. About the app: https://biochemcity.app/ The most challenging part of learning biochemistry is memorizing the reactions with the structural formula of the molecule and understanding the systemic network of these reactions. BiochemCity guides the user through a labyrinthine network of metabolic pathways in a revolutionary new "edutainment" environment, providing an alternative learning strategy for one of the most difficult disciplines. It would be a huge help for us if you could get the following link to your students https://en.starpage.hu/biochemcity-app-europe to get their answers for our questionnaire. It's also beneficial for the students, since those who are part of our beta-testing will get access to the finished product.

MSc programme Fall 2020
by Alexander Kastaniotis 11 Jun '20

11 Jun '20

Dear students, as you are probably all aware, the teaching for starting MSc programme students will be entirely online next fall to enable also all of those IMP students that are likely NOT to receive their visa on time to be here for the start of the semester. I am afraid that, while such an arrangement may work well enough on a purely academic level (teaching/learning), we will lose important social aspects of the studying experience. Could we, together, come up with a way of having social interactions outside the virtual classrooms in an actual physical space? All of you who have been working through our BSc programme have a bit of an advantage, because you know each other and most of the faculty teachers and staff at least to some extent. But I still believe that a completely contact-less semester may have some detrimental effects on how your studies and your academic life in general will feel. This will be even more problematic for new students, i.e. the double degree students from Ulm and IMP students (I don't know yet of any new MSc students from Finland joining; I think also these applications have been delayed). These students will know nobody here; they will be sitting in their barely furnished student rooms and following lectures from a screen. The though depresses me a bit. Therefore: let's meet; maybe with Histoni representative at least once before Juhannus, and then in August to plan some activities that will bring everybody closer together (within the limits of what will be allowed of course) - meetings of students as well as students + faculty. As it may be that the IMP students all get here at different times, these event should be so that even latecomers are not left out. Many thanks and best wishes!

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.

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.

Subject: Ympäristöepigenetiikan laboratorio Helsingin yliopistossa hakee tohtorikoulutettavaa Aloitamme 1.9.2020 Ympäristöepigenetiikan laboratoriossamme projektin, jossa hyödynnämme äskettäin kehitettyjä istukkaorganoideja. Suunnitelluista varhaisista raskaudenkeskeytyksistä kerättyjen istukoiden avulla selvitämme miten alkuraskauden alkoholialtistus vaikuttaa istukan kantasoluihin ja niistä viljeltyihin organoideihin. Tavoitteemme on selvittää alkuraskauden ympäristötekijöiden merkitystä istukan ja sikiön kehityksessä, sekä kartoittaa mahdollisuuksia hyödyntää organoideja toksikologisissa testauksissa. Haemme projektiin väitöskirjaan tähtäävää tohtorikoulutettavaa, joka on kiinnostunut raskaudenaikaisen alkoholialtistuksen vaikutuksista geenien säätelyyn, sikiönkehitykseen ja yksilön myöhempään terveyteen. Tehtäviin kuuluu näytteiden keruu sairaalassa sekä kantasolujen ja istukkaorganoidien viljelyn lisäksi monipuoliset molekyylibiologian ja genetiikan tutkimusmenetelmät. Tehtävään valittavalla tulee olla genetiikan sekä solu- ja molekyylibiologian opintoja sisältävä maisterin tutkinto. Kokemus laboratoriotyöskentelystä sekä bioinformatiikan työkalujen ja tilastollisten menetelmien osaaminen katsotaan eduksi. Tehtävässä vaaditaan korkeaa motivaatiota pitkäjänteiseen tutkimustyöhön sekä ennakkoluulotonta asennetta ja rohkeutta uusien menetelmien käyttöönottoon ja kehitykseen. Teemme projektissa yhteistyötä istukkaorganoidit kehittäneen laboratorion kanssa, joten tehtävä edellyttää vahvaa englannin kielen suullista ja kirjallista taitoa sekä motivaatiota asua tilapäisesti Cambridgessa (UK). Lisäksi projektissa tehdään tiivistä yhteistyötä yliopistosairaalan kanssa, joten tehtävään tarvitaan suomen kielen taito. Tehtävään haetaan lähettämällä CV, kopio viimeisimmästä tutkintotodistuksesta, rekisteriote maisterin tutkinnon opinnoista ja korkeintaan yhden A4:n pituinen motivaatiokirje osoitteeseen nina.kaminen(a)helsinki.fi<mailto:nina.kaminen@helsinki.fi> otsikolla "Haku väitöskirjaopiskelijaksi". Hakuaika päättyy 31.7.2020 ja haastattelut järjestetään joko etänä tai Meilahdessa 3.- 7.8.2020. Työsopimus tehdään neljäksi vuodeksi ja sopimukseen kuuluu kuuden kuukauden koeaika. Palkka määräytyy yliopiston palkkajärjestelmän mukaiseksi.
