From
the head of department
Many of you have surely
read the article in På Høyden ”UoB should be ashamed for using so many
temporary employees” where it is suggested that Kristin Halvorsen is not impressed by UoB’s
handling of this issue. However, this is a case with several sides to it. Of
course, it is not desirable that a person spends years changing from various
temporary positions, but it would be a great disfavour to all of us if this
comment should prevent temporary employment which we depend on for various
reasons – and which is also appropriate for those to whom this relates. This
would weaken the dynamics of our work and
prevent us in performing a good job. We would therefore like to remind all project
leaders and employees to whom this refers, that there is a very important and
realistic reason why temporary employment is indeed a necessity. Have a nice weekend, News and general information
Welcome to super semester
party in 2 weeks
New and old students and
employees are invited and welcome to attend this fall’s Super Semester Party
– the third in a row and thus a well-established tradition! This is a golden
opportunity to meet and get to know more people at the department, and the
main aim is that you Bachelor students get to learn more about the department
and the possibilities for later studies.
We intend to arrange a
fun programme where the head of the department will offer brief information
about the department, the various research areas and possibilities for
Master-level projects. Next follows a visit from two former students who have
spent several years on the work market upon finishing their studies – their
names will be published in a later issue of IFT-posten. They will talk about
their experiences both during their studies, as well as with the transition
to the career life – and they will
come up with good tips for bachelor- and future master students. This will be
followed by an exotic dinner from our own canteen. H-bar will
also be open. We would like to encourage the research groups to
send at least one permanently employed representative, together with one PhD and
one Master student, and thus contribute in making the bachelor students feel
welcome by showing them department’s diversity. Lecture by Olav Borten Moe
