What a great week!
It is with great pleasure, pride and expectations that I announce that we have been able to recruit two exceptional scientists to our programme this week – professors Nathalie Reuter and Johannes Kirchmair!

Both of them will be affiliated with the Computational Biology Unit (CBU) as well as the Chemistry department. They take on center-stage roles in developing molecular life science, including bioinformatics, at our department as well as at the faculty, with huge potential for fruitful collaborations with other groups at and beyond the department. On the methodological side, they significantly expand the breadth and volume of competence in theoretical chemistry including molecular modeling and cheminformatics at the department, creating a larger environment for methods development. Exciting times!
Stipendiat i kjemi
Det er ledig inntil 2 stipendiatstillingar ved Kjemisk institutt. Stillingane skal inngå i pågåande, eksperimentelt-orientert forskningsaktivitet ved instituttet, og søkjarane må ta kontakt med aktuelle forskningsgrupper for å avklare sams interesser. Søknaden skal ha med kortfatta skisse av forskningsidé som kan utviklast til doktorgradsprosjekt.
Stillingane er for ein åremålsperiode på minst 3 og inntil 4 år, kor tilbod om det fjerde året er avhengig av kvalifikasjonar og behov ved instituttet. Søknadsfrist 3. april 2018. For meir informasjon, sjå her.
Basen – the new hang-out for chemistry BSc-students
Last Friday, the official opening of the dedicated hangout for BSc-students in the chemistry program took place. The new term to learn is Basen («the base»), fittingly relating freshman chemistry to social aspects. 
From the department point of view, strengthening the social fabric of the BSc-program will hopefully contribute to more students studying on-campus rather than off-campus, getting encouragement from peers, and succeeding in their studies. Instructors (PhDs, engineers, professors) are encouraged to stop by Basen when they see fit, to answer questions or simply say Hello! Basen is located at the ground floor of Realfagsbygget, next-door to the faculty administration.
Important! – Register your science in Cristin before January 31
All the books, papers, conference contributions (talks, posters) etc that you published during 2017 need to be registered in the Cristin database. Cristin is the database that is used to compute the publishing part of our funding for coming 2019. It is a very good idea to register an item in Cristin as soon as the bibliographic information (volume, page number etc) is official – this way it becomes searchable in Cristin and thus your web site as soon as possible. In any case, please take a second look and include everything that has not been registered yet. At present, we have 50 entries in the Cristin database for 2017 and close-to 70 entries in the paper gallery — clearly we have a way to go.
NB! The deadline for registering your scientific production for 2017 is January 31!
