Leder/Førstemanuensis
Stillingsbeskrivelse
Jeg er ansatt som førsteamanuensis og leder ved Rettsgenetisk senter, UiT Norges arktiske universitet. I hovedsak er mine arbeidsoppgaver ved Rettsgenetisk senter oppbygning av analysevirksomhet, forskning, rapportering av sakkyndige oppdrag og kvalitetssikring.
Jeg bidrar også inn mot undervisning ved instituttet, og veiledning av studenter på master- og doktorgradsnivå.
Jeg har siden 2015 vært medlem i Den rettsmedisinske kommisjon, genetisk gruppe (DRK), hvor oppgaven er å kontrollere rettsmedisinske erklæringer i rettsgenetikk
