Bakgrunn
Jeg er for tiden postdoktor i GETGOV-prosjektet ved Universitetet i Oslo. Tidligere jobbet jeg ved Stockholms universitet, der jeg fortsatt er med i DEMCOOP-prosjektet (20% stilling). Jeg tok doktorgraden ved Universitetet i Oslo i 2024 med avhandlingen «Patterns of minister turnover across regime types».
