TOHTORIKOULUTETTAVAA
ajalle 1.4.2023-31.3.2024.
Helsingin yliopiston Kognitiivisen aivotutkimuksen yksikössä Medicumissa on käynnistymässä tutkimushanke, joka on osa Petri Toiviaisen johtaman Suomen Akatemian Musiikin, mielen, kehon ja aivojen huippuyksikön toimintaa. Professori Teija Kujalan johtaman hankkeen pohjana on vuonna 2014 käynnistynyt seurantatutkimushanke Lukivauva (Lukivaikeuden hermostolliset merkit, biomarkkerit ja kuntoutuvuus; johtaja Teija Kujala ja varajohtaja dos. Paula Virtala). Hankkeessa on selvitetty syntymästä lähtien aivotutkimus- (EEG:n kuuloherätevasteet) ja neuropsykologisten menetelmien avulla kuulo- ja kielellisten kykyjen kehitystä lapsilla, joista osalla on perinnöllisen lukivaikeuden ja kielellisten ongelmien riski. Lisäksi on tutkittu vauvaiän musiikki-intervention ja kodin musiikkitoimintojen yhteyksiä kuulo- ja kielellisten kykyjen sekä lukutaitojen kehitykseen.
Nyt käynnistyvässä uudessa hankkeessa toteutetaan näiden sekä hankkeeseen erikseen rekrytoitavien yhteensä noin 400 kouluikäisen (7–10 v.) lapsen laajamittainen tutkimus vuosina 2023–2025. Keskeiset tutkimusmenetelmät ovat EEG:n kuuloherätevasteet, magneettikuvaus (f/MRI) sekä behavioraaliset ja neuropsykologiset testit ja DNA-näytteenotto. Hankkeessa analysoidaan ja julkaistaan samalla jo kertynyttä laajaa aineistoa 0–5 vuoden ikäisiltä lapsilta. Hankkeen tavoitteena on selvittää luki- ja kielihäiriöiden neuropsykologista, hermostollista ja geneettistä perustaa, häiriöiden puhkeamiseen vaikuttavia suojaavia ja riskitekijöitä sekä mahdollisuuksia ennustaa ja ennaltaehkäistä luki- ja kielihäiriöitä.
Tohtorikoulutettavan pääasiallisina työtehtävinä ovat vastaaminen hankkeen aineistonkeruusta ja analyysista sekä tulosten julkaisemisesta yhteistyössä prof. Teija Kujalan ja pian tohtoriksi valmistuvan Peixin Nien kanssa. Keskeisessä roolissa on vuorovaikutus tutkimukseen osallistuiven perheiden, tiimin ja yhteistyökumppaneiden kanssa sekä maisteriopiskelijoiden ja tutkimusavustajien rekrytointi ja ohjaus. Työ tarjoaa resurssit toteuttaa laajamittaista ja menetelmällisesti kunnianhimoista tutkimusta sekä mahdollisuuden analysoida ja julkaista aineistoja kokeneessa tutkimusryhmässä ja Suomen Akatemian huippuyksikön tutkijayhteisössä. Hakijalta edellytetään soveltuvaa aivotutkimusalan tutkintoa esim. psykologian, kognitiotieteen tai neurotieteiden alalta (myös maisteriopintojen viimeistelyvaiheessa olevat hakijat huomioidaan). Työ edellyttää kokeellisen tutkimuksen, tieteellisen kirjoittamisen ja opiskelijoiden ohjaamisen taitoja.
Työ laajamittaisessa seurantahankkeessa edellyttää erinomaisia organisointikykyjä ja vuorovaikutustaitoja. Tutkittavan ryhmän (kouluikäiset lapset) ja tehtävässä keskeisen verkostotyön (yhteydenpito perheisiin, kouluihin ym.) vuoksi hakijalta edellytetään sujuvaa suomen kielen taitoa. Hakijalla on hyvä olla kokemusta vähintään joistakin hankkeen keskeisistä menetelmistä (EEG, f/MRI, neuropsykologiset tutkimukset). Eduksi katsotaan kokemus EEG-menetelmästä (erit. kuuloherätevasteista) sekä lasten tutkimuksesta. Tehtävä on määräaikainen, ja sen puitteissa on tarkoitus käynnistää tohtorin tutkintoon tähtäävä tutkimus. Se alkaa maalis-toukokuussa 2023 aikana tehtävään valitun henkilön tilanteen mukaisesti ja kestää vuoden ajan. Perehtyminen työhön alkaa heti sopivan henkilön löydyttyä. Tehtävässä on kuuden kuukauden koeaika. Palkkaus perustuu yliopistojen palkkajärjestelmän vaativuustasoon OV02 ja asettuu välille 2300 – 2600 EUR/kk.
