The department of biomedicine is asking for help for the practical course BMED320 where students perform a 8-weeks research project in the lab. Deadline to register a project is 15.september. More information can be found here .
It is now possible to apply for funding for stays abroad, both for senior and younger researchers. The professors have the possibility to go on a sabbatical every 7th year, which is a fantastic opportunity to establish new collaborations, build networks and have time to plan projects and write applications. New collaborations are not only useful for the professor him- or herself, it provides opportunities for others in the research group to go abroad. Several of the groups at the department have utilized this in an exemplary way, for example the endocrine, diabetes and lung research groups.
Now, professors, postdocs and PhD students can apply for such funding both from UiB (deadline 1 October, and Helse-Vest (deadline 15 September. Postdoctoral fellows are especially encouraged to apply (Helse-Vest) and UiB provides an extra year of salary if you use it for a stay abroad. Support can also be applied for from the Research Council and other funding bodies *. The application deadline for a sabbatical leave is 1 April to the department each year.
Many do not consider an extended stay abroad due to practical challenges with regard to work and studies for their partner, schooling for children and housing. An alternative could be a shorter stay, perhaps to a country in Europe that requires less practical preparation. Such stays can also be valuable in order to establish the networks that can lift your research.
Read the announcement and apply. Request to visit an institution abroad is rarely turned down when you come with your own salary.
Good weekend!
