For employees at the Department of Clinical Science, Intervention and Technology (CLINTEC) during the 2026 summer holiday period.

Management

During the following periods, the Head of Department and the Deputy Head of Department will be on leave.

  • Week 28–32: Head of Department Lars Henningsohn on leave.
  • Week 26–29, and 33: Deputy Head of Department Magnus Nilsson on leave.
  • Week 29–32: Head of Administration Pille Ann Härmat on leave, but available throughout the holiday period.

Administration

The Head of Department’s Office will be closed during weeks 29–31.

Things to consider before the holiday

  • UBW – Enter substitutes/deputies during periods of leave or vacation to ensure that invoices are processed (note: 5 calendar days for approval).
  • Limit purchases. If purchases must be made, make sure the invoices are handled.
  • UBW affiliations – Be mindful to allow sufficient time before the holiday period for the Head of Department’s approval of affiliations. Future affiliations can be registered in advance.
  • Expenses and travel claims – We would also like to remind you to be timely before the holiday period so that urgent expenses are not left pending for weeks. Allow time for review and approval.
  • If you fall ill during your holiday, a sick report must be submitted in the PA web system from the first day of illness. If it is not submitted from the first day, you as an employee must provide a medical certificate valid from day one. Sick leave can be reported in the PA web system via your mobile phone.
  • If your child becomes ill during your holiday, you must notify your manager and then register care of a sick child (VAB) in the PA web system on the same day the child becomes ill. This is to ensure that the correct vacation deduction is made on your salary.
  • Check your paper mail regularly to ensure no important letters are left unattended.

From the Doctoral Education at CLINTEC

The new deadline for submitting your doctoral defence application to the doctoral education is 14 July. This applies to applications to be reviewed at the doctoral defence committee meeting on 11 August 2026.

  • The last day to publish job advertisements in the recruitment system is 1 June (please note that you need to contact the HR team well in advance for any preparation related to the advertisement).
  • Documentation for new hires or contract extensions must be submitted no later than 29 June.
  • Publication of job advertisements will resume from 4 August.

We wish you all a wonderful summer!
