Meet our employees!
– The nice thing about taking the doctorate at NTNU Samfunnsforskning is that I get connected to relevant projects. The projects work as research training for me, and I get to participate in idea development, data collection, analysis and presentation. I also get access to far more data than I would be able to collect on my own. It is fantastic to be able to discuss the findings with very competent researchers in-house. It is also meaningful that the research we conduct has actual value in our society.
– NTNU Samfunnsforskning is a workplace where you can develop, while being able to work with research that means something to many people. Along the way, you will also meet interesting people, each with their own special fields. Space technology, welfare technology and the importance of politics in growing up, all in one place– so inspiring.
– At NTNU Samfunnsforskning and in our department, Studio Apertura, I get to work with competent and nice colleagues on topics I am interested in. It is both motivating and necessary to work across disciplines and national borders to move forward in the green, environmental shift. I get the opportunity to do that here. Large and long-term projects are also well suited for student assignments, which we collaborate with various departments at NTNU on.
