About
I am Head of Department at the Oslo Business School, Oslo Metropolitan University (OsloMet) and have a PhD in Political Science from the University of Oslo. Earlier I worked as a senior researcher at The Nordic Institute for Studies of Innovation, Research and Education (NIFU). I have also been a senior researcher at the Institute of Social Research (ISF), and in 2019 I was a visiting scholar at Stanford University. I am also a member of the Young Academy of Norway and external chairperson for the faculty board at the Faculty of Social Sciences at the University of Agder.
My fields of research are public policy analysis and organizational studies with a special focus on research policy and higher education studies. In my research I aim to understand the steering of public sector such as universities and research institutions. I both apply qualitative methods and quantitative methods in R.
In my research I have been investigating how we can understand academic recruitment processes, the use of bibliometrics in science, trust in peer review, researchers’ engagement in third mission activities such as dissemination and industry collaboration, mergers between higher education institutions and researchers’ collaboration in research groups.
At OsloMet I teach master courses in policy analysis (MSL4000) and organizational studies (MSLV4100).
