Technician Networking Lunch 第2回技術員交流ランチ会開催のお知らせ
The next RUT Networking lunch is coming up, Thursday the 30th May, 12PM in C210 . Japanese translation will also be provided.
The theme is Changing Fields/Labs and Promotions.
In addition, we have been asked by the DFA to get current technicians' opinion on the evaluation system for Technicians, so we will be leading a short discussion after the talks.
本日は来週 5 月 30 日(木)、 12:00~13:00 にセンター棟 C210 セミナー室 にて開催される
「リサーチユニット技術員交流ランチ会」についてのお知らせです。
今回は2名の技術員の方が、「異なる研究分野 / ラボへの移動(異動)・昇進」というテーマで
ご自身の体験をもとに、この交流会中にお話ししてくださることになっています。
加えまして、我々 ORC は現在勤務している技術員の皆様から、業務評価システムのあり方について
意見を収集してもらえないかと、教員担当学監オフィスから要請を受けております。
