Tilbud om helsekontroll 2022

Ansatte og studenter ved UiB som arbeider i risikofylt arbeidsmiljø, kan ha krav på helsekontroll. Informasjon om helsekontroll er nå tilgjengelig på HMS-portalen.
Arbeid og arbeidsplassen skal tilrettelegges slik at ansatte og studenter ikke blir utsatt for helseskade. Helsekontroll kan bidra til å forebygge sykdom og helseskader, og avdekke uheldig påvirkning fra arbeidsmiljøet. Ansatte og studenter skal gjennomgå helseundersøkelse før arbeidsoppstart hvis de skal jobbe med: Pelsbærende forsøksdyr og Bly og blyforbindelser.
Ansatte og studenter som jobber i risikofylte arbeidsmiljø skal ha tilbud om egnete helsekontroller dersom risikovurdering påviser helserisiko knyttet til eksponering av: Biologiske faktorer, Farlige kjemikalier, Kunstig optisk stråling, Bergarbeid, Støy, Støv med asbestfiber og Ioniserende stråling hvis årlig dose overskrider 6 mSv.
Linjeleder skal sørge for at overforstående ansatte og studenter får egnet helsekontroll. Hvis dere trenger å bestille time for en slik helseundersøkelse, kan dere ta kontakt med Bedriftshelsetjenesten på e-post: bht@uib.no  Vi holder til i Christies gate 20, 1. etasje (inngang fra Muséplass).

Offer for health check 2022

Employees and students at UiB who work in a risky work environment may be entitled to a health check. Information about health checks is now available on the HMS portal.
Work and the workplace must be arranged so that employees and students are not exposed to health damage. Health checks can help prevent illness and health damage, and uncover adverse effects from the working environment. Employees and students must undergo a health examination before starting work if they are going to work with: Fur-bearing laboratory animals and Lead and lead compounds.
Employees and students who work in a risky work environment must be offered suitable health checks if a risk assessment shows a health risk linked to exposure to: Biological factors, Hazardous chemicals, Artificial optical radiation, Mining, Noise, Dust with asbestos fibers and Ionizing radiation whose annual dose exceeds 6 mSv.
The line manager must ensure that the staff and students above receive a suitable health check. If you need to book an appointment for such a health examination, you can contact the Occupational Health Service by e-mail: bht@uib.no. We are located at Christies gate 20, 1st floor (entrance from Muséplass).

New students on the Master’s programme

The new students on the Master’s programme of Biomedical sciences will be looking for projects this autumn and spring. We are therefore collecting project descriptions for them. The timeline of the projects is from June/august 2023 to June 2024.
Last year we invited all potential supervisors to a “Master’s Day” where they had a 5 minute brief presentation of themselves and their project. After all the presentations we had a mingle session where supervisors and students could meet. We have received very positive feedback from this, and we will arrange this again in late November or the beginning of December this year.
Please send your project to siri.aaserud@uib.no or studie.biomed@uib.no by the 14^th of October. We will distribute all the projects to the students by the second half of October. The students can then approach the supervisors of the projects they are interested in. We ask you to not formally sign on a student to the master’s project before the 10^th of December. This is because of several reasons:
-For the students to have time to find out more about the projects and meet with the supervisors they are interested in.
-The projects are available a short time before the presentation at the “Master’s Day” at the end of the BMED320 projects so that the students know more about methods and the research carried out at the Department (and Faculty).
-So you can evaluate each of the students approaching you.
We also ask you to hand in the Master’s agreement 14 days after you have formally signed on a student, so the study section know which projects are available after December. The students have until 1^st of June next year to submit the master’s agreement. Thus, students might contact you after December too.Please let me know if you have any questions about taking on a master student.
Best, Siri Tangen Aaserud, Master coordinator.

VIKTIG! Frister for innkommende gjestestudenter ved UiB

Planlegger du å ta imot gjestestudenter i vår? Eller kommer studentene til neste høst? Uansett er det essensielt å ikke glemme UiBs sentrale opptaksfrister:
Vårsemesteret 2023 (januar-juni): 15. oktober (2022)
Høstsemesteret 2023 (juli-desember): 01. mai (2023)
Fristene gjelder alle typer studenter, enten de er Erasmus Traineeship-studenter, eller andre typer innreisende gjestestudenter.
Det er ekstremt viktig at disse fristene blir overholdt, for ellers vil ikke studentene få tilgang til bygget, offisiell studentstatus i Norge, etc. For å være helt sikker på at papirarbeidet blir fulgt opp ordentlig og fristene overholdt, vennligst ta kontakt med internasjonal studentkoordinator Stian Krog (stian.krog@uib.no eller studie.biomed@uib.no) i god tid før fristenes respektive utløp. Uten administrativ forankring vil studentopphold ikke bli godkjente, og UiB får heller ingen studiepoeng for uautoriserte studenter som dukker opp, så det er svært viktig at Studieadministrasjonen blir koblet på tidlig, og er med under hele prosessen.

IMPORTANT! Deadlines for incoming guest students at UiB

Are you planning on receiving guest students this spring? Or will you have students visiting next fall? Regardless, it is essential not to forget UiB’s central admission deadlines:
Spring semester 2023 (January-June): 15 October (2022)
Fall semester 2023 (July-Desember): 01 May (2023)
The deadlines apply to all types of students, whether they are Erasmus Traineeship students, or other types of incoming guest students.
It is extremely important that these deadlines are respected, otherwise the students will not get access to the building, official student status in Norway, etc. To be sure that the paperwork is being followed up properly and the deadlines respected, please contact international student coordinator Stian Krog (stian.krog@uib.no or studie.biomed@uib.no) in due time before the respective deadlines expire. Without administrative anchoring, any student stays will not be approved, and UiB will get no ECTS for unauthorized students showing up, so it is highly important that the Section of Academic Affairs gets in the loop early, and stays connected throughout the entire process.

UiB Opp – kompetanseutvikling for eksternfinansiering og forskningsstøtte

UiB Opp er UiB sitt kompetanseprogram for å støtte opp under institusjonens økende behov for forskningsstøtte, og for kunnskap om eksternfinansiering knyttet til både forskning, utdanning og innovasjon. Programmet er åpent for ansatte som ønsker å utvikle seg innen feltene forskningsstøtte eller eksternfinansiering. BOA-teamet har ansvar for programmet.
UiB Opp – kompetanseutvikling for eksternfinansiering og forskningsstøtte | Støtte til eksternfinansierte prosjekter (BOA) | UiB
UiB har som mål å være et ledende internasjonalt forskningsuniversitet. For å nå dette må blant annet bidrags- og oppdragsfinansieringen ved UiB styrkes, og i dette ligger også et behov for økt kompetanse på søknadsskriving og drifting av prosjekter i organisasjonen.
Vi skal løfte UiBs forskere, forskningsstøtteapparat og støtteapparatet rundt eksternfinansiering av forskning, utdanning og innovasjon. Dette gjør vi blant annet  ved å sikre at forskere og forskningsledere får opplæring i prosjektutvikling og drift av forskningsprosjekter, og ved å heve kompetansen hos en større målgruppe slik at flere kan bidra inn i støtteapparatet, eller ved å gi ytterligere spisskompetanse til den delen av administrasjonen som allerede jobber med forskningsstøtte og eksternfinansiering.

Post doc and PhD! Research grant for stays abroad in 2023

The Faculty of Medicine reminds that all university-funded research fellows and postdoctoral fellows can apply for financial support for stays abroad. Employees in externally funded positions must apply to their funding source for support.
The application deadline for this round is 1 October 2022. Support is then sought for stays abroad for 2023.
We ask that the departments inform their employees about the application deadline and the applicable guidelines. The department must be informed in advance. We would like to point out that there were new application forms and rates in 2021, and that it is these forms that must be used.
Financial support for stays abroad for PhDs and Postdoctoral Fellows | Faculty of Medicine | UiB
The faculty only has the opportunity to partially finance stays abroad, so everyone is encouraged to also apply for external funds through other schemes. See here: Funding Search | EURAXESS Norway
All applications must be sent to the faculty together, with signatures and attachments, either by e-mail to post@med.uib.no, or fully scanned into this case with the main document on the applicant’s surname, and other documents as attachments.

Reminder!

UiB Ferd Career Center for Early Stage Researchers

Mer forskning til studentene!
Mange av våre studenter ønsker å lære mer om forskning og en akademisk karrierevei, men opplever at det er vanskelig å komme i kontakt med fakultetets forskere. Dette er ikke nødvendigvis studenter som i utgangspunktet er ute etter sommerjobb/stipend eller ph.d.-stipend, men studenter som gjerne vil lære mer om forskning og akademia før de eventuelt tar et slikt valg.
Det er et langsiktig mål for fakultetet å rekruttere flere personer med profesjonsutdanning inn i faste universitetsstillinger. Dette mener vi vil styrke både undervisningen og forskningen på sikt, og vi tror at det å gjøre fakultetets forskningsaktiviteter mer tilgjengelig for studentene vil bidra til dette.
Vi søker nå forskere på alle nivåer som kan tenke seg å være kontaktpersoner for studenter som vil lære mer om forskning. Merk at det ikke foreligger noen lovnader om videre arbeid inn i forskningsgruppen, verken fra studentens eller forskerens side selv om kontakt oppstår.
Det viktige er at hvis du velger å delta på dette må du svare på de henvendelsene du måtte få fra studenter, og at du er tilgjengelig for møter med studenter (for eksempel i form av samtaler, omvisning på enhet, invitasjon til gruppeseminar).
Navnet ditt med kontaktinformasjon (e-post) og en kort beskrivelse av forskningsfelt vil bli lagt ut i de kanalene der vi vanligvis har kontakt med studentene. Vi håper mange vil bidra til denne «studentportalen for forskning». Vi har også opprettet en nettside der vi har startet arbeidet med å legge inn informasjon om forskere som har registrert seg.
Hvis du er interessert, vennligst send navn, instituttilhørighet og 1-2 lett forståelige setninger om forskningsfeltet ditt til Ramune Midttveit (ramune.midttveit@uib.no)

More research for the students!

Many of our students want to learn more about research and an academic career path but find it difficult to get in touch with the faculty’s researchers. These are not necessarily students who are looking for, for example, a summer job/scholarship or PhD scholarship, but simply students who would like to learn more about research and academia.
It is a long-term goal for the faculty to recruit more people with education in medicine, odontology, nutrition, or pharmacy into permanent university positions. We believe this will strengthen both teaching and research in the long term, and that making the faculty’s research activities more accessible to students will contribute to this goal.
We are now looking for researchers at all levels who want to sign up as contact persons for students who want to learn more about research. Note that there are no promises of further work into the research group, neither from the student’s nor the researcher’s side in this, even if meetings occur.
However, if you choose to participate in this, you must respond to inquiries you may receive from students, and you must be available for meetings with students (for example in the form of conversations, guided tours in the lab, invitation to group seminars).
Your name with contact information (e-mail) and a short description of your research field will be posted in the channels where we usually have contact with the students.We hope many will contribute to this «student portal for research». On the dedicated web page you will find information about the registered researchers.
If you are interested, please send your name, department affiliation and 1-2 easy-to-understand sentences about your field of research to Ramune Midttveit (ramune.midttveit@uib.no)

Nyhetsbrev fra Institutt for Biomedisin
Publisert hver andre uke
Ansvarlig redaktør: Frode Berven
Redaktør: Anne Mette Søviknes 

Dear all;

The semester started a few weeks ago and many of us are now doing a considerable amount of teaching, in the auditoriums as well as in our teaching labs. There have been and are still challenges with our AV equipment, especially in the auditoriums and in the histology rooms. Hopefully, we will able to continue in giving a good quality education this semester also, and that the equipment will be on «our side» during the rest of the semester.

The Norwegian Research Council (NRC) are announcing the results of the calls for 2022 these days. The results from the «Fornyelse» program is out, and we can congratulate Department of Global Public Health and Primary Care (IGS) with 4 projects being funded, and Department of Clinical Medicine (K1) with funding for 1 project.
See also: Nye forskerprosjekter får finansiering fra Forskningsrådet.
The results of the FRIPRO program was announced today, and we congratulate Nils Halberg and Ruth Brenk from IBM,  Eystein Husebye (K2) and Hans Peter Marti (K1).

Nyhetsbrev fra Institutt for Biomedisin
Publisert hver andre uke
Ansvarlig redaktør: Frode Berven
Redaktør: Anne Mette Søviknes 

Dear colleagues!

I hope you all have had a nice summer, although some have experienced sub-optimal weather (too cold, too wet, too hot …). I hope you have had the necessary mixture of relaxation, social and family activities and charging of your batteries. Now we are ready for the next working period in the autumn semester, and the students are back on campus.

We have received the new master students in our biomedical master’s programme, and this year we have a normal class size – it seems we end up with a little fewer than 25 students. For the health professions students in their first year the faculty reports that we also are close to the numbers we aim for. And the second-year students are back and active with the ordinary teaching schedule.

This year we are very pleased that the audio-visual equipment in the main auditorium in the hospital finally is upgraded and in place. This is good news for the big first-year courses. In general, we have well-functioning teaching equipment, although we have some challenges particularly in the histology rooms. The people involved are informed, and teaching can continue with minimal changes.

I wish us all a good and productive autumn semester! And although the seasonal wet periods certainly will come, we can all still hope for some late summer days with sun and nice temperatures!
