About
Role
My role is to help researchers at the Faculty of Engineering with international funding.
- By having a good overview of national and international (EU and others) funding opportunities, I will be able to help researchers to find suitable funding schemes within their field of interest and career stage.
-
Contact point for ERCs and responsible for the mapping process at the faculty
-
Develop applications/project proposals to EUs framework programs and associated programs (such as ERC, RIA, IA, MSCA (s), ERA-NET, EEA, and others) and to the Research Council of Norway.
-
Assisting researchers in proposal writing to best address the evaluation criteria and to match the strategies of the EC.
-
Reviewing grant applications and proving feedback to optimise applications' chance of winning funding.
-
Administrative support related to application and project management (pre and post-award) such as assisting with the budgeting, EU portal administrative forms, grant agreement preparation process and the amendment process to the EC.
-
Hands-on support during grant agreement and consortium agreement preparation in HEU projects
-
Support and advice on career development mainly for Early Career Researchers
-
Run workshops to train applicants in proposal writing and hold presentations on various topics related to funding opportunities.
-
Lead and contribute to developing a research strategy and action plan (s), mainly for Horizon Europe.
-
Develop handbooks and process notes to streamline administrative support

Research
Gene regulation and communication networks in marine and freshwater bacteria (Aliivibrio) that cause diseases in humans, animals and Atlantic fish (cod and salmon). Classical microbiology, molecular genetics, biochemical methods, "high-troughput" -omics technologies, and bioinformatics are used to provide more insights into gene regulation, bacterial communication and their mechanisms of virulence. The effect of salinity and temperature variation are used to measure biofilm formation and transcriptome of genes associated with quorum sensing system.
