Election platform

Dear colleagues at the University of Oslo.

I would like to run for election as the representative for temporary academic employees on the University Board. As a temporary employee, I have experienced and continue to experience the challenges we face. Therefore, I will work hard to ensure that your needs are taken seriously in decision-making processes at the University of Oslo. I am running for election with this election platform:

1. Secure employment, career development and an inclusive work environment

  • Ensure fair pay and career development for temporary academic employee
  • Reduce the use of temporary positions and increase the proportion of permanent employment
  • Facilitating flexible working methods and a healthy work-life balance
  • Offer guidance, mentoring and network seminars
  • Ensure transparency and participation in decision-making processes

2. Strengthen the quality of education and research

  • Prioritize increased resources for high-quality teaching and research
  • Facilitating interdisciplinary collaboration and innovative teaching

About me

I work as a Clinical Doctoral Research Fellow at the Department of Otorhinolaryngology & Head and Neck Surgery at the Institute of Clinical Medicine, where I conduct my PhD work on using artificial intelligence in sleep examinations in children. In addition, I teach medical students about diseases in ear, nose and throat. I really enjoy teaching medical students, and experience that teaching is a great opportunity to shaping the future doctors. In the past, I have created e-learning resources and an educational podcast for medical students.

I studied medicine at the University of Oslo, and therefore, the medical studies and being a student at the university are well-known for me. Being a student and a temporary academic employee have many common features. Both activities have an end date with the advantages and disadvantages that follow. In this way, I am motivated to use the experiences from my studies and as a temporary academic employee to create the best possible workplace for you.

I experienced coming home when I started working for the University of Oslo. My studies have given me a strong belonging and desire to contribute for the university. My colleagues describe me as a flexible, hardworking and structured person. I want to use these qualities constructively so that you, as a temporary academic employee, can have the best possible everyday life. Therefore, I would like to run for a position on the University Board.
