Karin Linnea Volcko


Job description

I work with administration of the ph.d.-programme in health sciences. 

My job duties include tasks related to the midway evaluations, ph.d.-level courses in health sciences, and approval of elements in the training component. I also assist with other areas, such as thesis defenses.
