From the head of department

Since energy has become top priority, the faculty announced two PhD scholarships within the field of renewable energy. These two posts should be linked to the relevant research groups at the faculty and must thus be within the areas covered by these groups. These positions will not be listed under available positions on the department’s webpages, but only those of the faculty, and potential candidates should therefore be thus informed. This is a new and important approach to the faculty which means that it is best applicants will be chosen regardless of which department they belong to.

Otherwise, we would also like to congratulate Laszlo Csernai on his distinguished article in the latest issue of Europhysics News: The Quark-Gluon Plasma, a nearly perfect fluid.

Have a great one,
Geir Anton

News and general information

 

  The administrative staff on field trip

In the period from May 7-10 parts of the administrative staff will be away on a field trip to Iceland. Hanne and Villy will be available, while those working with finance and staff issues will be fully out of reach in that period.

  Conference on the quality of education

Time: May 14, from 09:00 – 16:15

Place: Clarion Hotel, Flesland, Bergen

Already over a 100 people signed up, but there are still availble pseats! The programme and topic will engage even more people, and the new deadline for registration is therefore shifted to May 9.
