Kirstin Janssen


Stillingsbeskrivelse

Mine arbeidsoppgaver ved Rettsgenetisk senter er i hovedsak knyttet til oppbygning av analysevirksomhet, rapportering av analyseresultater, kvalitetssikring, forskning, undervisning og veileding av studenter på ulike nivå.

I tillegg til mine funksjoner ved UiT er jeg medlem i den rettsmedisinske kommisjon (genetisk gruppe).
