From 50 to 70% contract with Department of social studies; all in all 100% workload and pay at UiS this academic year

I originally had a 50% contract at University of Stavanger's Department of Social Studies when I formally started August 1st last year, but by September I had agreed to increase the percentage to 70% with effect from September 1st (until July 31st 2015). As it turned out, my responsibilities amounted to more than the contract we had signed. My work plan has later been somewhat adjusted, but remained essentially the same, with responsibility mainly for the department´s Examen Philosophicum (SVEXPHIL10) and the bachelor thesis in social work, plus 40% research time.

With agreements on grading of exam papers in Examen Philosophicum at Department of Health Studies (SVEXPHIL2) and the 10% employment in the research project "Animals in changing environments" (EMP151), my total work load and pay at UiS adds up to 100% this academic year.

February 4th and 5th I read 85 bachelor thesis outlines in the bachelor thesis in child welfare program (course code BBABAC) at University of Stavanger´s Department of social studies, and distributed them on supervisors affiliated with the department. I then met with the course coordinator for the department´s bachelor thesis in social work to coordinate efforts, and finally we sent the draft of supervisor appointments to all supervisors for comments. The supervisor appointments will be finalised and announced to the students February 12th, next Thursday.
