Dr Rachel Cheong is awarded Svenska Sällskapet för Medicinsk Forsknings (SSMF) stipend for post doctoral studies. The stipend of 600 000 SEK during two years allows Rachel to conduct research aiming to understand the neuropsychiatric aspects of HD. A greater understanding of the underlying pathophysiology of HD will clearly help to develop novel therapeutic strategies to treat this debilitating di

We expect a change in labour legislation that comes into force on 1 October this year. What is happening in the autumn is that general fixed-term employment, which is all fixed-term employment including hourly, but not temporary employment, disappears as a form of employment and is replaced by special fixed-term employment (Särskild visstidsanställning – SÄVA). The new preferential right requires

Finally! We are now (almost) at the execution phase of the ventilation project in the Ecology building! Years of planning and discovering that “nobody thought of this” have hopefully prepared us as much as possible for what is going to happen. So what will actually happen? The entire ventilation system at the Ecology building attic will be exchanged for a new one! Half this summer, and the other h

The basis of the legislation is that permanent employment becomes an even stronger norm and fixed-term employment is more quickly converted to permanent employment. The time is 1 year of fixed-term employment instead of the previous 2 years and is counted retroactively from the first of March this year. What do the new rules mean for our various employment types? General fixed-term employment (ALV

We have now created two new pages – one Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) and one web version of our strategic plan. The FAQ is mainly intended for younger researchers at the department who are responsible for their own grants. Other people may also have good use of the FAQ, so please do check it out. Our strategic plan is converted into a web version which makes it more readable, easier to find an

The old site where we were supposed to gather in case of a fire alarm, at the so-called assembly point, at the parking lot in front of Naturvetarvägen 6A has been moved to the lawn between the Ecology Building and the Biology Building, near the small bridge over our stream. You will find instructions about what to do in case of a fire on our fire web page.

In an effort to reduce electricity prices ahead of the coming winter, the government is asking all authorities to save as much energy as possible. We, therefore, need to review our energy use and see where we can save. If we all chip in and save, the risk of planned power cuts during the winter is reduced. Henrik Wendel and the Health, environment and safety committee – working group will go throu

Information has already been sent out about the strained electricity situation and the risk of disconnection of electricity. In order for you to know what to do in the event of a power cut, the department has drawn up a plan. The department has appointed key persons who are responsible for the safe shutting down of labs, sensitive instruments and other spaces. The only thing you need to consider/k

Only one month is left until we shut down parts of the Ecology building for this summer’s ventilation project! With a few exceptions, buildings B and F will be closed during June, July and August. If you want to access those parts of the building for something temporary, like picking something up, that’s ok. But we want you to do it from 09.00-15.00 on weekdays. If you want to access the freezer c

The summer is approaching and we want to draw your attention to the fact that it is high time to start planning for matters that need to be completed before the summer vacations. As employment matters are handled by both department and faculty, the dates become especially important when staffing is low. In order to be able to finish in time for the summer, we have some dates for processing recruit
