Doctoral candidates at K1
Research is one of two main objectives for K1. The more than 130 candidates in the PhD program
are very important research resources. Candidates and supervisors deserve praise for their great
efforts.
At K1 we carry out about 30 doctoral defenses per year. A little more than that are admitted in the PhD
program. The department has currently 118 PhD candidates. We know that there are even more who are
at an early stage and not yet reported.
The doctoral research work is published. Standard requirement is three original publications. These publications make up a significant part of the total K1 publication volume. The publications have consistently
the same high quality as the rest of the original publications. It is impressive how candidates with no research experience get well placed at the top of competitive fields in only few years. Most dissertations contain exciting conclusions which are cited and further investigated by others.
PhD candidates with or without scholarship or other funding have generally long and intense working
days. The speeches at the disputation dinner reveals the enormous effort involved. Many of the candidates at K1 could have alternative professions with higher wages and shorter working hours. There is every
reason for institutions and society to thank those who go through a PhD at K1.
PhD candidates vitalize every research group and supervisor. Issues are raised and challenged, and work
performed. The supervisors at K1 deserve great praise for follow-up and high completion degree, and
especially for active recruitment and motivation of candidates. It may be difficult to formulate projects that
combine cutting edge research with a fair chance of completing.
K1 is measured on research results. Number of publications is a key goal. It is of significant importance if
PhD candidates publish beyond the three required articles. With all the work done in the writing process, it
should be a goal to produce at least one overview article. This also benefits the candidates’ own resumé.
Clinical medicine is leading in doctoral degrees. This is primarily due to outstanding and motivated PhD
candidates. Great thanks to you! At the same time, it reflects attractive research groups and supervisors. We must
together ensure that the PhD program will keep leading to
good publications with real research value.

Appointment of new Research
Schools in 2015
"CCBIO Research School for Cancer Studies"
will be officially opened 11. September at 13.00
in Auditorium 2 at the BB-building.
The faculty announces that the application deadline for establishing new Research Schools is 20
September.
The opening will entail a presentation of the CCBIO
Research School, talks by local notabilities like the
UiB Prorector Anne Lise Fimreite and a key note
lecture by the leading cancer researcher Anne-Lise

The conference points to several new directions in
international neuroscience research. These include
the use of computational tools and large-scale
neural network simulations, the increasing emphasis on astrocytes for understanding brain function,
and the challenges of dealing with the large amount
of data that is currently amassed both in basic and
clinical neuroscience. Read more here.
Lecturer is Associate Professor Hans Gunnar Blom,
a leading specialist in super resolution imaging. He
is doing research in super sesolution imaging and
it’s applications in life sciences, and he is also a facility manager at the Science for Life Laboratory in
Stockholm, where they have several super sesolution-systems.
