(01) Postdoctoral Fellowship Position
Postdoc Fellowship Position summary/title: POSTDOCTORAL RESEARCHER, EXAMINING HUMAN RIGHTS DUE DILIGENCE FOR INDIGENOUS PEOPLES
to contribute to the project Just sustainabilities: Defining Due Diligence for the Rights of Indigenous peoples, led by Assistant Professor Dorothée Cambou. Focusing on the impacts of wind energy projects in Finland and Sweden, the project aims to define the role of the law to ensure corporate respect for the rights of indigenous peoples and promote a just transition. For this purpose, this research project makes a socio-legal analysis about the state of the law in the Nordic countries and its influence to regulate corporate Human Rights Due Diligence in relation with the rights of indigenous peoples. Socio-legal methods with qualitative research best characterize the approach of the project. We highly encourage applicants with linkages to these themes and an interest in business and human rights to apply.

(02) Postdoctoral Fellowship Position
Postdoc Fellowship Position summary/title: POSTDOCTORAL RESEARCHER ON FORGING SUSTAINABILITY SCIENCE FOR SOCIETAL CHANGE
Rooted in the effort to integrate the knowledge of physical, biological, and social sciences, sustainability science has created influential frameworks, concepts and approaches, such as resilience, planetary boundaries, Complex Adaptive Systems (CAS), social ecological systems (SES), and Panarchy. However, the extent to which these frameworks have had societal impact is debatable. Given the current ecological emergency, for example through climate change, biodiversity loss, and unequal ecological disaster and ecocide in the Global South, it is crucial to take three interlinked steps. Firstly, take stock of the key insights from sustainability science and critically evaluate to what extent and how they have impacted sustainability research and policy practices. Secondly, understand the gaps between the unanimous academic call for urgent actions and existing policies that exacerbate the ongoing crises, and thirdly reorient sustainability science to address these gaps.

Postdoc Fellowship Position summary/title: POSTDOCTORAL RESEARCHERS, THE CENTRE OF EXCELLENCE IN TREE BIOLOGY
9 POSTDOCTORAL RESEARCHER POSITIONS in the following research projects
• Project 1: Stomatal function and vascular connections. The project aims at molecular-level understanding of guard cell signalling and function in response to environmental stimuli. We will also address molecular connections between stomatal regulation and vascular function (e.g., water transport, systemic signals). We will utilize proteomics, biochemical and molecular genetics approaches in Arabidopsis and physiological measurements of stomatal and vascular parameters in Arabidopsis and trees. Supervisors: Kangasjärvi, Sierla, Shapiguzov, Waszczak
• Project 2: Stomatal developmental plasticity. The aim of the project is to identify molecular mechanisms controlling stomatal plasticity in Arabidopsis and trees and to unravel how signal integration between pathways mediating environmental information defines stomatal numbers. Supervisors: Vatén, Mähönen
• Project 3: The role of energy metabolism in carbon source effects. The project aims at: (i) dissecting metabolic and signalling interactions between chloroplasts and mitochondria and (ii) developing new methods for phenotyping photosynthesis and respiration (including advanced chlorophyll fluorometry, gas exchange and oxygen microsensor approaches). Supervisors: Kangasjärvi, Shapiguzov, Sierla
• Project 4: Morphogenesis and functionality of phloem. Following our extensive previous work of phloem development, we are taking various genetic and molecular approaches to deepen our understanding of phloem at cellular and functional levels. Supervisors: Helariutta, Mähönen, Hölttä, Sierla
• Project 5: Cambial factors. Guided with a comparative single cell transcriptome analysis of Arabidopsis, birch and poplar cambia, the aim in this project is to identify through molecular genetics key loci driving enhanced growth and carbon sink in trees. Supervisors: Mähönen, Kucukoglu-Topcu
• Project 6: Source-sink. By combining computational modelling and experimentation, in this project, we will explore how mutations affecting function of stomata, conductive tissue or cambium and thus, consequently, carbon sequestration in wood, will potentially feedback to each other, and to other aspects in tree physiology. Supervisors: Hölttä, Mähönen, Kucukoglu-Topcu
• Project 7: Distribution and role of open chromatin in silver birch and Scots pine genomes. Open chromatin sequencing (ATAC-seq) allows identification of regulatory active regions of the genome. In this project, the aim is to study regulatory genomic regions in conjunction with gene expression and population genetic data from both functional genetics and/or evolutionary point of view depending on the interests of the candidate. Supervisors: Pyhäjärvi, Salojärvi
• Project 8: Population genomic studies in silver birch. The CoE, together with the other projects associated with it, will generate a massive amount of whole genome sequencing data from birch populations across Eurasia. Phenotype information will be available for a set of families from a common garden experiment as well as from a high-throughput phenotyping platform. The data allows studies on demography, gene flow and local adaptation, and facilitates identification of genotype-phenotype associations. Based on the interests of the candidate the project can involve also a component of methods development for general population-level inference. Supervisors: Salojärvi and Pyhäjärvi
• Project 9: Genomic breeding. By combining our understanding of physiology and genetics in both trees and Arabidopsis with the phenotypic and genomic data of the current silver birch breeding population in Finland, our aim is to develop a model for genomic breeding in this economically highly important boreal tree species. Supervisors: Nieminen, Pyhäjärvi, Salojärvi

About The University of Helsinki, Finland – Official Website
The University of Helsinki is a university located in Helsinki, Finland since 1829, but founded in the city of Turku (in Swedish Åbo) in 1640 as the Royal Academy of Åbo, at that time part of the Swedish Empire. It is the oldest and largest university in Finland with the widest range of disciplines available. In 2018, around 31,200 students were enrolled in the degree programs of the university spread across 11 faculties and 11 research institutes.
As of 1 August 2005, the university complies with the harmonized structure of the Europe-wide Bologna Process and offers bachelor, master, licenciate, and doctoral degrees. Admission to degree programmes is usually determined by entrance examinations, in the case of bachelor’s degrees, and by prior degree results, in the case of master and postgraduate degrees. Entrance is particularly selective (circa 15% of the yearly applicants are admitted). It has been ranked a top 100 university in the world according to the 2016 ARWU, QS and THE rankings.
The university is bilingual, with teaching by law provided both in Finnish and Swedish. Since Swedish, albeit an official language of Finland, is a minority language, Finnish is by far the dominating language at the university. Teaching in English is extensive throughout the university at master, licentiate, and doctoral levels, making it a de facto third language of instruction.
Remaining true to its traditionally strong Humboldtian ethos, the University of Helsinki places heavy emphasis on high-quality teaching and research of a top international standard. It is a member of various prominent international university networks, such as Europaeum, UNICA, the Utrecht Network, and is a founding member of the League of European Research Universities.
