Job description

Marius Storvik has a broad background in both teaching and research. His research interests focus on human rights, welfare law, mental health care, health law, child welfare law, and compensation law. He is particularly interested in investigating how these areas interact and affect each other, and how they can contribute to improving the quality of life for people. He also participates in the research council project "The complexity of coercion in child and adolescent psychiatry (CAP)" and a research project on setting boundaries and the use of coercion towards children in foster homes.

Marius has also lectured in welfare law, sociology of law, and European Human Rights Law. He has experience as a seminar teacher in subjects such as constitutional law, inheritance law, tort law, legal history, welfare law, method, and sociology of law. In addition to teaching at the Faculty of Law, he has also taught courses in health law, human rights, ethics, child welfare law, and research communication at other faculties at UiT.

He has supervised more than 30 master's thesis in law and is co-supervisor for two PhD students.

Marius is committed to conveying complex legal issues in an understandable and interesting way. He has conveyed much research through both external lectures and the media. In addition to this, he is also a podcast host together with Gunnar Eriksen for Juss & Jåss, where they discuss different judgements and share insight into their research and teaching. This shows his ability to convey complex legal topics in a clear and accessible way, making them more accessible for students and the general public.
