Job description

Som instituttleder har jeg følgende sentrale arbeidsoppgaver: 
* Ledelse av faglig, strategisk og administrativ virksomhet på instituttet, herunder resultatansvar og personal- og økonomiansvar
* Særskilt fokus på ekstern finansiering av forsknings- og utdanningsaktiviteter
* Sikre kvalitet og god balanse mellom utdanning, forskning, formidling og innovasjon
* Bidra til å skape en positiv organisasjonskultur og stimulere til et produktivt arbeidsmiljø for ansatte og studenter
* Sikre et godt læringsmiljø og aktiv rekruttering av nye studenter
* Lede medvirkningsbaserte prosesser
* Representere instituttet og fremme internt og eksternt samarbeid
* Sikre at instituttet følger gode HMS-rutiner og ha god personaloppfølging
* Sørge for god teknisk- og administrativ støtte
* Sørge for at internkontroll og økonomistyring skjer i henhold til regelverk og rutiner

Jeg er professor i industriell teknologi med fokus på bærekraftig styring av forsyningskjeder. Mitt samarbeid med akademiske, forsknings- og industrielle partnere har forsterket min tro på at teknologiske fremskritt er våre største fordeler når det gjelder å møte både nåværende og fremtidige utfordringer. Følgelig er min forskning dedikert til å identifisere disse utfordringene og utvikle integrerte systemløsninger som tilrettelegges av teknologisk fremgang.

Jeg er også en utnevnt chair for Arctic Six, med et spesielt fokus på miljøberedskap og rask mobilisering. Gjennom arbeidet ifm. denn stillingen ønsker jeg å demonstrere hvordan simulerings- og optimaliseringsteknologier kan bidra til å styrke motstandskraften i arktiske samfunn og infrastrukturer.
