The Finnish graduate school in population genetics

The graduate school in population genetics is funded by the Department of Education and the Academy of Finland. The school builds a doctoral program and trains graduate students in the broad area of population genetics. The students take formal courses and carry out research work and complete a doctoral thesis in about four years.

The students entering the school should join a research project led by one of the supervisors that are members of the school. The topics covered by different projects include evolutionary genetics, bioinformatics, genetic epidemiology, gene mapping, plant and animal breeding, conservation genetics, molecular anthropology and archaeology,
and risks associated with GMO. The working place depends on the research group and the supervisor (http://cc.oulu.fi/~biolwww/PopGenSchool/ )

The salary is set by the Department of Education which finances the graduate school, but the local university (research group) can pay a somewhat higher salary that includes some teaching duties.

The school announces seven positions for PhD students, starting at the beginning of 2010. The positions are maximally for four years. The application should include (when applicable):

1. CV
2. a list of publications
3. a training plan for PhD studies (what type of formal training,
courses etc you would like to have)
4. a short description of a career plan (why this type of training)
5. a plan for PhD research (a research plan or a good description
of the direction the student wants to take), max 2 pages
6. contact information of two referees

The applications should be sent (as a single document) to Outi Savolainen electronically (Outi.Savolainen@oulu.fi ) or by regular mail Dept of Biology, Box 3000, FIN-90014 University of Oulu, Finland).

The deadline for the applications is 15 September 2009.
