<html><body style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; "><div><br></div>Dear all,<br><br>To clarify the announcement on an open position at Åbo Akademi University in Finland, the applications should be sent to the head of the department, Professor Gunilla Widén-Wulff (<a href="mailto:firstname.lastname@abo.fi">firstname.lastname@abo.fi</a>). Personally I can provide background information about the project, but can also volunteer as a relayer for general position and employment related questions (for my part) to the people who are employed and knowledgeable about them at Åbo Akademi. The intent of the email message was not to give an impression that I am myself responsible for recruitment or currently employed at Åbo Akademi. You can always direct your questions also to Mr. Kim Holmberg (<a href="mailto:firstname.lastname@abo.fi">firstname.lastname@abo.fi</a>).<br><br>Best Wishes,<br><br><br>Isto Huvila<br><div apple-content-edited="true"> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: auto; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: none; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; "><div style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: none; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; "><div style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: none; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; "><div style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: none; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; "><div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline">PD, forskarassistent | Ph.D. research fellow</div><div>Department of ALM | Uppsala University</div><div>(t) +46 18 471 22 17 (m) +46 73 694 37 62</div><div>(e) <a href="mailto:firstname.lastname@abm.uu.se">firstname.lastname@abm.uu.se</a></div><div>(w) <a href="http://www.istohuvila.eu">www.istohuvila.eu</a></div><div><br></div><div><br></div></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium; ">------<br>Information studies at Åbo Akademi University is seeking a PROJECT RESEARCHER for a fixed-term position in a ESF (European Social Fund) funded project AVO - Open networks for learning (Avoimet verkostot oppimiseen).<br><br>The work consists of development, investigations, education and related duties in a project on using Second Life as an open environment for learning.
