From the head of department

Application deadline for the current opening for a professor/ associate professor in theoretical particle physics has expired and we can now happily announce that we have received 35 applications. Of all the applicants, there are only 2 Norwegian and unfortunately only 4 women. In the process, we receive applications from two international nestors within the field of particle physics which gave us no less than 330 names of potential applicants or group leaders from all over the world  the announcement to whom has been sent. This opening position has in addition been announced in several international journals and channels, and the group itself actively contributed in spreading the information.

It is important and valuable to have a looke at the Team Atakan and take up the challenge we have in achieving better gender balance within UoB, but equality also means that the best qualified gets the job. Team Atakan’s proposal to employ more women, can perhaps function in some areas, but in the field of physics we might face greater challenges if we are to insist on the minimum of 40% female applicants for taking the process one step ahead. One of the measures that could perhaps contribute to an increase in the number of women in scientific positions, is if we got the opportunity to evaluate the applicants to positions such as professor/ associate professor within two categories and choose to employ a (young) promising associate professor, rather than an (older) established professor. We have no chance for a dilemma of the kind when all professor exoerience come before those who are not there yer.

Have a nice weekend!

  Utlysing av forskningsmidler - Peder Sather Grant Program

The Peder Sather Center for Advanced Study has been founded in May 2012 by signing an agreement between UC Berkely, Norwegian Research Council and 8 Norwegian universities, along with the University of Bergen. The goal of Peder Sather Center for Advanced Study is to strengthen the research cooperation between UC Berkely and the 8 Norwegian universities.

 

One of the things resulting from this project is also the Peder Sather Grant Program which finances:

 

·       Seed grants (USD 5 000 - USD 20 000)

·       Full grants (USD 25 000 - USD 75 000) to cooperation projects between researchers of UoB and UC Berkeley.

This programme finances projects within all scientific areas. Application deadline is 15. March 2013

You can find the announcement for the Peder Sather Grant Program here.

  E-books from Cambridge University Press

Natural Sciences Library has started from February a trial project with e-books from Cambridge University Press. More infomation on this project here.  If any of you have any views on this product, please give your feedback at the end of the month to Ingunn Rødland at the Natural Sciences Library, phone: 55 58 48 15.

  Horizon lecture - cancelled

This week’s Horisonter lecture with Professor Andrew Read, Pennsylvania State University, USA will unfortunately have to be cancelled.
