Informationsmøde

Der afholdes informationsmøde onsdag den 23. september kl. 13 i Fysisk Auditorium, hvor institutlederen vil fortælle om ’rigets tilstand’.

 

 

Portnere / STBYG

Pr. 1. oktober vil STBYG 1 overgå til STBYG2 og derved fungere som en samlet enhed. Fra samme dato skal I derfor benytte en anden servicemail, hvis I har brug for hjælp fra portnerne eller håndværkerne; stbyg2service.okoplan@au.dk.

Ove Fjordside vil være ny driftsinspektør og kan træffes på: of@au.dk / 28 99 20 13.

 

 

Styrk karrieren som mentor eller mentee

Mentorordningen Styrk Talentet! matcher medarbejdere på adjunkt-niveau med mere erfarne kolleger (lektorniveau eller derover). Formålet er at bidrage til at understøtte og udvikle de videnskabelige medarbejderes faglige og personlige karrierepotentiale.

Næste deadline for tilmelding – for både mentorer og mentees - er den 23. oktober 2015.

Fysisk APV
Nu er det igen tid til Fysisk Arbejdspladsvurdering (Fysisk APV). Alle medarbejdere opfordres til at besvare det elektroniske spørgeskema, der blev sendt pr. e-mail i sidste uge.

 

Besøg af rektor den 8. oktober

Brian Bech Nielsen kommer på den årlige besøgsrunde, hvor han møder medarbejdere for at drøfte universitetets udvikling og udveksle visioner og problemer. På møderne er der sat god tid af til medarbejdernes kommentarer og spørgsmål.

 

Mødet finder sted på IFA den 8. oktober kl. 11.30-13.00 i Fysisk Auditorium og alle medarbejdere er indbudt.

 

 

Bestilling af varer og kontostreng til fakturaer

På given foranledning kan det oplyses, at man ved bestilling af varer, sagtens kan nøjes med at angive kontostrengen (projekt og aktivitetsnummer) til leverandøren, som så skal påføre det på fakturaen. Det letter os selv og regnskabsafdelingen, hvis de straks på fakturaen kan se konteringen og sparer os selv for at udfylde en rekvisition.

 

I de tilfælde hvor man indkøber på andres vegne, er det selvfølgelig vigtigt med en rekvisition, således at man får betalerens underskrift på at man har lov at bestille varen.

 

Bemærk også, at kun rekvisitioner med bestillinger over kr. 5.000 bliver tastede i Navision som disponerede. Det giver således god mening at skrive rekvisitioner på store beløb og med lang leveringstid.

 

 

IFA-IDEAS

Institut for Fysik og Astronomi (IFA) åbner hermed for ansøgninger til puljen 'IFA-IDEAS' fra videnskabelige medarbejdere og studerende med minimum en bachelorgrad. Der kan søges om 50.000 kr. til et projekt indenfor forskning, talentudvikling, uddannelse eller formidling.

 

Ansøgningen, bestående af 1 sides projektbeskrivelse og 1 sides kort CV samt budget, indsendes til Instituttet gennem Ruth Laursen (ruth@phys.au.dk) med frist 1.10.15 kl. 12. Behandlingen af indkomne ansøgninger foretages umiddelbart efter fristens udløb, og succesfulde ansøgere kan forvente svar inden 8.10.15.

 

I bedømmelsen lægges der vægt på videnskabelig originalitet og potentiale for videre udvikling af projektet ud over hvad IFA-IDEAS kan finansiere ('seed-money'). De bevilgede midler skal anvendes inden udgangen af 2015 og antallet af uddelinger afhænger af kvaliteten af de indkomne ansøgninger.

Information meeting

An information meeting will be held on Wednesday 23 September at 13:00 in the Physics Auditorium. The Head of Department will inform about ‘the state of the empire’.

 

 

Janitors / STBYG

As of 1 October STBYG 1 will merge with STBYG2, which will function as one unit. Starting 1 October, you should use a difference service mail if you need assistance from the janitors or the skilled workmen; stbyg2service.okoplan@au.dk.

Empower your career as a mentor or a mentee

The mentor scheme Empower Talent! matches staff at assistant professor level (assistant professor/researcher/postdoc) with more experienced colleagues at associate professor level or above. The purpose of the scheme is to contribute to supporting and developing the professional and personal career potential of the academic staff. Next deadline for registration - for both mentors and mentees - will be October 23, 2015.

If you need more information, please contact Lizzi Edlich (lie@au.dk), HR, Organizational Development and Working Environment.

 

 

Physical Workplace Assessment (the physical WPA)
Once again, it’s time for the Physical Workplace Assessment (the Physical WPA). All employees are encouraged to complete the electronic questionnaire that was sent out by email last week.

 

 

Visit by the rector on 8 October 2015

Brian Bech Nielsen will make his annual visits to the university’s various units, where he will meet employees to discuss the development of the university and to exchange visions and problems. There will be time for comments and asking the rector questions.

 

The visit to IFA will take place on 8 October at 11:30-13:00 in the Physics Auditorium. All employees are invited.

 

 

Ordering articles and products / account numbers for invoices

When ordering articles and products it is enough to give the supplier the project and activity numbers and ask him to state these on the invoice.  It will make things much easier for our accounting department if the project and activity numbers appear from the invoice and it will save us from filling out a requisition.

 

When purchasing on behalf of another person, you should obtain a requisition to ensure that you have the payer’s signature confirming your permission to purchase the article.

 

Please also note that only requisitions for orders in excess of DKK 5,000 will be registered in Navision as predisposed. It therefore makes sense to make requisitions for large amounts and for articles where there is a long wait for delivery.

 

 

IFA-IDEAS

The Department of Physics and Astronomy hereby opens for applications to stipends, ‘IFA-IDEAS’, from scientific staff, and students with a minimum of a bachelor’s degree. The stipend is 50.000 DKK and is awarded to a project within the areas of research, talent development, education or outreach.

 

The application must contain a project description of maximum 1 page and a short CV plus budget, also maximum 1 page, and must be sent to the Department through Ruth Laursen (ruth@phys.au.dk) before 1st of October 2015 at noon. The evaluation of applications received will be swift, and successful applicants can expect an answer before 8th of October.

 

In the evaluation process the main emphasis will be on scientific originality and potential for further development of the project, beyond what can be financed by IFA-IDEAS (‘seed-money’). The stipend must be used before the end of 2015 and the number of stipends depends upon the quality of applications received.
