Job description

 

 I perioden 2022-2025 fungerer jeg som instituttleder ved Institutt for samfunnsmedisin (ISM), og jeg startet i denne åremålsstillingen første januar 2022. Som instituttleder er jeg veldig opptatt av å bidra til god kommunikasjon på instituttet, styrke forskning og undervisning og at instituttet er godt synlig når det gjelder forskningsformidling. Vi er midt inne i store omstillingsprosesser og jeg jobber med å forankre disse prosessen så godt som mulig. Jeg er stolt av å fungere som instituttleder for en stor gjeng med gode kollegaer hvor det drives nyskapende og samfunnsrelevant forskning, undervisning og formidling. Det er bare å ta kontakt om du har spørsmål eller trenger kontakt med noen ved vårt institutt.
