Tildeling av ERC-prosjekt – fast stilling ved fakultetet

Legg igjen en kommentar

Det medisinske fakultet, UiB (MED) innfører fra 01.01.24 en ordning som legger til rette for at forskere som tildeles ERC-prosjekt ansettes fast etter endt prosjektperiode ved instituttet der forskningsaktiviteten naturlig hører hjemme. Fakultetet vil dekke lønnskostnaden ved instituttet Med denne ordningen ønsker vi å stimulere til økt søknadsaktivitet mot ERC, styrke fremtidig medisinsk forskning i Bergen, og gjøre fakultetet mer attraktivt, særlig for forskere tidlig i karrieren.

Følgende kriterier gjelder:

  • Ordningen gjelder for personer som er ansatt i postdoc eller forskerstilling, eller i vikariat for førsteamanuensis- eller professorstilling ved MED ved tildeling av ERC-prosjekt.
  • Ordningen gjelder for personer som flytter til MED med sitt ERC-prosjekt fra starten av prosjektperioden og som har sin forskningsaktivitet ved MED under prosjektperioden.
  • Ordningen gjelder ikke for personer som er fast vitenskapelig ansatt på MED i førsteamanuensis- eller professorstilling i forkant av ERC-tildeling.
  • Lønnsmidler fra fakultetet vil normalt komme i etterkant av at ERC-prosjektet er avsluttet. Dette betyr at kandidatene må hente inn egen lønn fra ERC-prosjektet eller fra andre kilder i prosjektperioden.
  • Stillingen (førsteamanuensis eller professor) vil lyses ut etter vanlig prosedyre når prosjektperioden går mot slutten, men utlysningsteksten vil tilpasses kandidatenes vitenskapelige og metodologiske profil.

Research and Training Grants from the Federation of European Microbiological Societies (FEMS)

Legg igjen en kommentar

Members of FEMS Member Societies can apply for our grants. Research and Training Grants assist early career scientists in pursuing research and training at a European host institution in a country other than their own country of residence (and exceptionally to support research and training projects outside Europe). These grants may be used to contribute to travel, accommodation and subsistence costs of making the visit. Support is limited to a maximum of €5000.

Applicants
Applicants should be active microbiologists, having obtained their highest degree less than five years prior to the application deadline date or be a PhD student*. They should be a member of a FEMS Member Society. You can find a detailed overview of the requirements for this grant in the FEMS Grants Regulations.

Kunstig intelligens i helsesektoren: Hvilken kunnskap trenger vi?

Legg igjen en kommentar

Kunstig intelligens står for døren – eller er den allerede i klinikken? Hvem slapp den inn og hvordan håndterer vi den?

KI i helsesektoren er fortsatt i sin spede begynnelse, men potensialet er enormt.

Kunstig intelligens har potensialet til å revolusjonere helsesektoren og forbedre pasientbehandlingen på mange måter, men KI er ikke bare en kilde til muligheter og fordeler. Det er også en rekke utfordringer og risikoer som må tas på alvor.

Torsdag 18. januar kl 13.30-15.45 skal sikkerhetseksperten Cecilie Wian komme med råd til hvordan helseforetak bør håndterer sikkerhet, GDPR og personvern når disse hjelpemidlene tas i bruk. Arrangementet finner sted på Eitri.

Course description:
This course will provide an introduction to the computational analysis and reconstruction of both small and genome-scale metabolic networks. The main goal is to familiarize students with relevant state-of-the-art computational tools and databases, as well as to provide the students with hands-on experience in metabolic modelling approaches. Furthermore, we will cover the mathematical basis of constraint-based analysis of genome-scale metabolic models and provide a foundation for stability and control analysis of dynamic models. Link to the course description: Metabolic pathway analysis

Prerequisites:
Basic competence in a programming language (preferably Python) is expected. Basic knowledge in biochemistry, linear algebra and statistics are required.

Time: February 19th to March 1st, 2024. Please note that the course is two weeks.
Place: University of Bergen, Department of Biomedicine
Course responsible: Ines Heiland, Mathias Ziegler, and Suraj Sharma

Hjertestarter i Laboratoriebygget – 5. etg.

Legg igjen en kommentar

Vi har nå fått en hjertestarter på lab-bygget som er tilgjengelig for alle. Den er plassert på nederste hylle i skapet kalt sikresonen i parketten/lunsjområdet i 5te etasje (se bilde). Den er helautomatisk og veldig lett å bruke der det både er tale og skjerm som viser hva du skal gjøre. Den har Norsk og Engelsk språk som enkelt endres ved å trykke på en knapp. Helt samme maskin og elektroder brukes på voksne og barn, men det er en bryter som må stilles på barn eller voksen. Inne i bærevesken ligger det også en startpakke med saks, maske for munn til munn osv.

The EMBO Young Investigator Programme supports life scientists who have been group leaders for less than four years at the time of application in setting up their laboratories. Young Investigators receive financial support for networking for four years and benefit from training opportunities, support for their lab members and mentoring. They become part of an international network of more than 700 current and former EMBO Young Investigators, Installation Grantees and Global Investigators.

This is an annual award and the next applications opens in February and close on April 1, 2024.

We will have a «data café» at the faculty of medicine on the 30th of

January from 9 to 12. All interested in data science applied to medicine are invited to mingle around a nice breakfast. Then, two workshops will be organized: (1) «Introduction to data handling in python» by Jakub Vasicek and (2) «How to be Open about your Science?» by Julia Romanowska.

Many of you have asked for it and we are pleased to announce that we will have a joint MED-CBU seminar on the 21st of March at 11:15. Like last time the seminar aims to foster interaction between researchers at

MED and CBU and will be followed by a mingling lunch. If you are interested in joining these events please let Marc know (marc.vaudel@uib.no). If you have suggestion of activities, workshop, or want to help with the organization – it would be most welcome!

Thank you!
