Anje Christina Höper
Researcher / Research group leader
Job description
Project manager for "Occupational health in the North", UiT's research group on occupational health. Occupational health deals with the relation between the workplace and the worker's health. It has gradually developed from a mono-disciplinary, risk-oriented acitivity to a multi-disciplinary and comprehensive approach that considers and individual's physical, mental and social well-being, general health and personal development (WHO). The research group's projects cover a wide range of occupational health aspects. You can read more about it on our website.
