Senior Research Coordinator

Linkoping University expands its research support to be able to offer researchers framework, education and services to reach the goal of an open and inclusive science.

Senior Research Coordinator in open science with focus on data management and open access

I work with research support mainly in data management and publication agreements.

Previous work

In my research studies as a doctoral student and postdoctoral fellow, I focused on trying to improve communication between healthcare professionals, heart failure patients and their families about the heart failure trajectory to ensure good palliative care. In my research team, a communication intervention, a Question Prompt List (QPL) was developed and tested. This QPL has been translated into several languages and is used today in clinical work and in research.

I conducted all studies in this area together with professor Tiny Jaarsma and Professor Anna Strömberg, LiU.
