<p>Hi all,<br>
<br>
</p>
<p>This is a call to make your voice and those of your fellow PhD
students heard! <br>
</p>
<p>As a PhD student at Fysikum you can take part in important
committees in Fysikum, the faculty and the university as a PhD
student representative. Being a PhD student representative means
attending meetings of that committee, voicing your opinions and,
if relevant, reporting back to the PhD council board. It is also a
change to learn more about the decision making process at the
university/faculty/department and a great addition to your CV.
Moreover, your time is rewarded with an extension of your
employment contract, ensuring no research time is lost.<br>
</p>
<p>At a committee meeting on February 20th, the election for PhD
representatives for committees of the natural science faculty and
the university is held. There are many open spots, so if you put
your name forward, you're likely to get picked. Being on a
committee doesn't take much work; you should just attend the
meetings. It is important to have representation for PhD students
in the committees and you get well compensated for your time.
Attached, you can find a list of the committees for which we can
elect people and a short description of the work they do. Please
note that some committees hold their proceedings in Swedish. More
information about the prolongation and general structure of the
university, faculty and department can also be found in the
attached slides.<br>
</p>
<p>If you are interested or have questions, you can reply to this
email latest <b>February 19th</b> or talk to any of the of the
PhD council board members; Gandharva Appagere, Roger Cattaneo,
Lukas Rodland, Maddalena Bin, Nadia Dachlythra, Tomas Palmqvist,
Aliki Litsa, Pranay Navak and Ellen Riefel. </p>
<p><br>
We hope to hear from you!</p>
<p>Ellen Riefel<br>
Chair of the Fysikum PhD Council <br>
