(TCLS= Thursday Chemistry Lunch Seminar: 12.15-13 @ Tripletten
  • For ALL employees at the Chemistry Department!
  • Kjekk Nobel-fest i NKS-regi

    Som vanleg gav Nobel- og skaldyrfesten i Bergensavsnittet av Norsk Kjemisk Selskap ein fin kombinasjon av spennande vitskap og velsmakande skaldyr mm.

    Professor Øyvind Halskau, MBI, førelas på beste vis over Nobelprisen i kjemi som i år gjekk til forskarane som utvikla kryo-elektronmikroskopi for å bestemme strukturen av store biomolekyl og spesielt protein i løysing. Øyvind er i godt selskap: professorane ved MBI har ofte bakgrunn og forskningsinteresser i felt som blir tildelt Nobelprisen i kjemi. Stor takk til Camilla, Inger, Alette, Audun og Rhiannon for eit framifrå arrangement!

    Standing waves in your coffee mug

    Tomorrow Tuesday November 12 at 7am-12am, construction work will take place outside the department office at the third floor. The work involves drilling in the concrete floor and ceiling and is expected to be noisy. If you expect that your office will be in the noise zone, you may consider taking suitable precautions for this time slot (work from home, work in the lab if the lab is more distant, work in the library, wear ear protection etc). Please inform those who needs to know your whereabouts.

    Sorry for the inconvenience!

    Mali gains momentum

    Momentum, UiB’s new high-profile Career Development Program for Young Researchers, kicked off last Friday. As one of only three researchers at our faculty (16 UiB-wide), Mali Husby Rosnes, ass. prof. at our department, has been selected for participation in the program. The program runs over one year and is designed to give talented postdocs and associate professors the opportunity to acquire and strengthen professional skills whilst offering a forum to reflect on the opportunities and challenges that working in academia present. Congratulations to Mali and good luck with the program!

    Note that the support is limited to activities that identify and initiate cooperation in research and teaching between workgroups at UiB and at Christian-Albrechts-Universität zu Kiel. Longer stays of individual persons can be funded, provided that they induce a networking effect for both institutions involved. Personnel costs cannot be funded. A maximum of 5,000 € may be applied for. Funding is exclusive to travel and accommodation expenses. Application deadline is 8th December 2017.
