Welcome to the KLM TempAwareGroup
The KLM TempAwareGroup is an interest organization dedicated to support PhDs, Postdocs, and temporary scientific employees at Oslo University Hospital (OUH) and the University of Oslo (UiO). Our group is comprised of representatives from each of the seven departments within the Division of Laboratory Medicine (Klinikk for Laboratoriemedisin, KLM).
Our vision for 2025
"Our goal is to represent, strengthen, and support temporary employees at the Division for Laboratory Medicine (KLM, OUS). We aim to organize social and informational events with a focus on career development and facilitate networking opportunities that promote both professional and personal growth. Through close collaboration with unions such as the Norwegian Association of Researchers (Forskerforbundet) and PhD forums at the University of Oslo (primarily MedDocs), we strive to ensure that our activities enhance the position of temporary employees and foster an inclusive and sustainable research environment."
What We Do:
Support and Assistance: We serve as an accessible contact point for temporary staff, including PhDs and Postdocs, on issues related to education, supervision, regulations, and the working environment.
Representation: We represent the interests of PhD candidates, Postdocs, and temporary employees at the KLM Research Committee (Forskningsutvalget, FU). This committee, which includes the heads of research for each of the KLM departments, discusses critical issues affecting the division. We participate in these meetings to provide valuable input.
Collaboration: We work closely with representatives at MedDocs (UiO) and Forskerforbundet.
Events and Networking: We host a range of events, from scientific seminars to relaxed social gatherings. These events offer low threshold networking opportunities, fostering a sense of community among temporary employees at KLM.
Join us to connect, collaborate, and thrive in your academic and professional journey at KLM.
