Job description

I am head of HR and organization at the BFE faculty.

Our section consists of staff who are physically present at all our units and campuses. We work closely with both the management and other employees to ensure strong and reliable services within the field of personnel and organization.

We support you with, among other things:

  • recruitment processes, whether for permanent/ temporary positions, or hourly contracts
  • ensuring a smooth onboarding process when new employees start in their positions
  • establishing good routines when employees leave their positions
  • guest management.
  • work related to HSE (Health, Safety, and Environment), emergency preparedness, and information security
  • questions related to security assessments and procedures
  • the small or large issues concerning absence, travel, and vacation

I also lead Team PhD at BFE, an interdisciplinary administrative team dedicated to supporting our important PhD candidates throughout their doctoral journey. We work closely with the Vice Dean for Doctoral Education and are responsible for planning and facilitating annual seminars for PhD candidates and supervisors.

Teamwork is key to ensuring excellent services and a positive, rewarding work environment! I am happy to contribute when research groups or other units organize seminars or workshops.

I am certified in The Core Quadrant methodology.
